MEXICO CITY MAY

CARRANZA' 'SARNY
Rebel Chief Insists That His
Guadeloupe Plan Be Car
ried Into Execution
TURN MAY FORCE The
U. S. TO PROTECT people
BY The United Press

WASHINGTON, July 14-Mexico
City is TO fall before the onslaught
Of armed Constitutionalists it was
feared today. Carranza's defiant at
titude makes any other solution inn
possible unless a marked change oc-
ours in forty-eight hours. AS a re-
suit the United states will be forced
to assume responsibility for what the
immediate future holds, for not alone
the Mexicans themselves. but for the
hundreds of others marooned there.
Carranza and his generals. through
Consul Silliman, have notified the
United States that the very letter Of
the plan of Guadeloupe must be car
ried out. Carranza has gone to Tam
picO, where he can easily take steamer
to Vera Cruz and proceed to the cap
ital when Huerta fees. The rebel
forces are converging against the
city from the east. west and north.
The stage is fully set for the last act
Whether this will be a peaceful and
unconditional surrender by the gov
erning forces or a last mad struggle
against the inevitable cannot now be
forecast
According to a telegram from the
Brazilian minister in Mexico City sent
to the State Department, Huerta will
retire either today or tomorrow in
favor of Foreign Minister Carbajal.
The State Department believes the
dictator and his personal friends will
Immediately fee to Puerto Mexico and
there take refuge on the British
steamer Bristol South American dip
lomats who know Huerta think other
wise. II he does retire. and they will
believe this only WREN it is an accom-
plished fact they assert that he will
probably insist on remaining in Mex
leo until the very end and even though
in doing so it may mean the forfeiture
Of his life
