Huerta Amasses 100000.
Huerta it is understood, has ac-
cumulatted a fortune of S6,OO0,OOO or
sS,OOO,00O since his overthrow of Ma
dero, and this money is understood to
have been sent outside the country
some to New York and some to Eu-
repeat intervals. This being true,
many cannot understand why Huerta
does not arrange to escape alive with
out further delay, and enjoy his in
come far from Mexican turmoil The
old fox has all the cunning of his
species however, and his ultimate
purposes and the definite character OF
the game he is playing can be deter
mined only by developments to occur
later.
Throughout the day the three South
American ENJOYS who had undertaken
the task of mediation held frequent
conferences to arrange the prelim-
inaries of procedure. No conditions
from either parry to the mediation as
to the terms that would be acceptable
had been formally placed before the
Intermediates.
Pressure from Germany, Great Brit
ain and France advising Huerta to ac-
cept the first steps toward mediation
and the approving attitude of Latin
American countries to the settlement
of the controversy by pan-A
diplomacy emhasized the worldwide
influences which were working to
bring about peace.
Secretary Daniels announced that
he had telegraphed the full text of the
mediation offer and its acceptance to
both Rear Admiras Badger and How
ard. with instruction to have the com
manders of all ships on the east and
west coasts spread the news through
out Mexico. BY this Mr.. Daniels hoped
the feeling toward Americans might
be alleviated and refugees enabled tt
depart without molestation.
