MExICANS PLAN TO
ATTACK AMERICANS
(By W. G. Shepherd.)

VERA CRUZ, Mex, May 4.-Gen
eral Huerta's determination to draw
American troops to Mexico City anc
save him from the rebels, is respon.
sible for the demand made Saturday
to surrender the water works.
General Mas is reported to be
making heavy reinforcements prepar.
ing to attack Vera Cruz. Insiders
say that Americas delay in starting
to Mexico City embarrassed General
Huerta. Failing to unite the Mexi-
cans, he hopes to provoke an engage
ment and get the Americans to pro-
tect him.
1t has been learned that Foreign
Minister Portillo v. Rojaz resigned
because Archbishop Mera, Friday fail
ed in his final effort to persuade
Huerta to abdicate. Huerta is very
angry with Rojaz's friends, and they
fear Imprisonment.
WASHINGTON, D. c., May A.
Ii General Mas activities increase,
mediation will end. President Wilson
advised the mediators that the con-
tinuation of the American participa-
ton in the mediation depends on the
freedom of American troops and citi-
zens from attack.
The general army staff has COM
pleted arrangements to reinforce Cen
eral Funston. Transports are to be
reprovisioned at Galveston, and held,
with steam up.
Mediators are compiling the initial
proposal to be presented as soon as
conferees are named by America,
Huerta and Carranza. 1t is probable
that Huerta will object to the con-
ferees meeting here. If so, they will
meet in Toronto or Ottawa.
