Vera Cruz. May 26.-The Hamburg
American liner Ypiranga sailed for
Puerto Mexico this morning. She
was taken over by the Imperial Gov
eminent several weeks ago. and her
departure. II is said. followed the re-
ceipt OF instructions from Berlin. :.
Is also significant that the sailing OF
the liner followed a conference be-
tween representatives of the Chilean
Legation In Mexico City and the Ger
man Consul here. The latter also
went on the Ypiranga.
II is persistently rumored here that
Huerta is about TO leave the country,
and many believe that the Ypiranga's
departure Is for the purpose OF TAX
ing him abroad at Puerto Mexico.
The ship still has in her cargo the
arms and ammunition bought by HUI
erta before the American occupation
OF Vera Cruz; but IL is known TO a
certainty that they viii not be landed
at Puerto Mexico.
II had been officially stated that
the Ypiranga would sail on June 2.
and II was not known until last night
that she would leave this morning.
No information as to the reason for
the Puerto Mexico trip was obtain
able at the German Consulate.
Consul General Shanklin said to-
night that Carl Heymann. the Brazil
ian Consul General in Mexico City,
sailed for Puerto Mexico on the lpi-
ranga.
"Heymann arrived at Vera Cruz
this afternoon" said Mr.. Shanklin.
Il talked with him. and he said he
was going to Puerto Mexico. He did
not say why he was going, and did
not mention the name of Huerta."
Miguel Necoeches, night editor of
FL impartial. arrived here this after
noon enrout for Europe. where, he
says. he has been appointed cores
pendent under the Mexican Govern
ment. He says he expects President
iuerta TO leave Mexico on June /, IF
not sooner" The dictator, he says.
has decided that he is unable to han
die the situation whether the rebels or
the Americans attack him, and has,
therefore. decided to leave the coun-
try. allowing the United States TO
take action as ii deems advisable.
Senior Neoeches says
Gen. Huerta firmly believes that
he has been working in the interest
OF civilization and of the Mxican peo
pie, but he understands the strength
of the United States and knows that
il is impossible for him to make mil
itary stand against the Americans.
He also realizes that he cannot de-
fend the capital against the rebels
without ammunition, and. as the pow
ers are looking on to enforce the
laws of civilized war. he has decided
that 1t is now best that he leave the
country. He thinks the Americans
will be forced to go to Mexico City.
"The Mexican delegates to the Nj
agara conference carried special in
structions according to which Huerta
agreed to leave the country in case
President Wilson agreed to occupy
Mexico City, and not permit pillage
or other barbarous acts. The dele
gates were instructed not to take up
this question unless they were assur-
ed that President Wilson would consi
der it separately, and not submit it to
the mediators. 1t is now generally
understood that President Wilson has
agreed that If Gen. Huerta leaves the
capital the Amrican troops will go
there and maintain order.
