WASHINGTON, May 1S.-ThaI
General Huerta, preparing for a
crisis in his dictatorship, has long
been planning to leave Mexico City
with his troops and make a last
stand at Puebla, midway between
Mexico City and Vera Cruz, was ur-
derstood today to have been told
President Wilson last night by Nell
son o'Shaughnessy. former charge of
the American embassy in the Mex
lean capital.
The president, it is said, was i2-
formed that Huerta had picked Pue-
bla for his last refuge in case rebel
essailants get too close TO Mexico
City, and that late Developments in
the revolution had caused him al
ready to begin fortifying and pro-
visioning Puebla.
Mr.. OShaughuessy is said to have told
the president that Huerta had no inten-
ton of resigning, but that the Mexican
dictator realized that his regime could
not stand long. At Puebla, according to
plans said to have been determined on
months ago, he would fight rather than
consent to elimination.
Realizing that he eventually must be
dsposed.. ..Huartss.it-is-ssid.. .dssines TO as-
quiro as much glory as possible before
the Inevitable happens.
Mr.. OShaughnessy rs said further to
have told the president that the number
OF troops which Huerta has at his COM
nland Is greatly exaggerated, land that,
ss matter Of fact, they number only
1000 to 5000 men, Neither zapata nor
Villa would have any great difficulty in
taking the city. IL understood to be the
view Mr.. oshaughnessy expressed.
His Information is along the line OF
other reports reaching the government
within the last few weeks. Further in
formation from these sources is that
IIuerta has been shipping gold abroad
in contemplation OF hts ultimate exile.
Crisis Few Days Away.
VERA CRUZ, May 1S.-There exists
here a vague apprehension OF important
developments at the capital. This is not
traceable to any specific information, but
staff officers and many away from head
quarters appear convinced that Provis-
ional President Huerta must face a crisis
within a few days.
1t appears improbable that the rebels
will be in a position to attack the capital
for many days, and perhaps weeks, but
there Is growing feeling of unrest
among the residents, and few high Of

"I Wish to Die Poor"
The contents of the will of Pope
Plus have become known. The tes-
lament is dated 1911, but has codicils
made in successive years. To the
members of his immediate family he
leaves $4,000, which was presented
to him some years ago, and $1,000 to
his nephews. In the will is the fol-
lowing phrase: 81 was born poor and
lived poor, and l wish to die poor"
The will contains a recommendation
that the burial be a modest one in the
crypt of st. Peters. 1t concludes by
invoking Gods forgiveness for the
sins which the tie tator may have COM
mitted, especially as pontiff.
The body of the pontiff lies in a
cypress wood coffin on which rests a
gold cross. This is encased in zinc
and finally in an oak casket. On the
casket is the inscription.

cardinals would form groups as fol

Spain, two leach from England ant

The two German and six Austro

Rome. Pope Plus X. died at 1920
o'clock Thursday morning.
The cardinals had been notified of
the pope's grave condition and some
of them who entered the sick room
describe the impressive and heartrend-
ing scenes, especially when the pom
tiff, rousing himself from time to time,

"In ancient times the pope by a
word might have stayed the slaughter,
but now he is impotent."
The dying pope, in a moment of lu-
eidity said:
"Now | begin to think as the end Is
approaching that the Almighty in his
inexhaustible goodness wishes to
spare me the horrors Europe is UNI
dergoing."
