HUERTA
MAY Never Return To Mexican Soil
Sailed On German Ship Dresden.

PUERTO, Mexico, July 20. =
Victoriano Huerta left Mexican
soil tonight probably never to
return. After open signs of
mutiny had led to the arrest Of
two officers attempting to excite
the soldiers to assassinate him,
the ex-dictator listened to the
fearful entreaties Of his wife and
friends and late this afternoon
capitulated and went on board
the German cruiser Dresden.
Standing amidst a group to
whom he was bidding farewell.
the ex-president hurled shafts Of
sarcasm at Wilson and Bryan and
predicted there would be chaos
in Mexico for awhile. but that
the ultimate preservation of the
country's autonomy would be ac-
complished without the interven-
ton of the United States.
