|HUERTA SAILS ON
GERMAN CRUISER
FORMER PROVISIONAL PREsE
DENT LEAVES MEXICO FOR
JAMAICA WITH FAMILY.
SCORES WILSON AND BRYAN
HurIs Sarcasm in Interview and Pre-"
diets Chaos in Mexico-Carranza
Agrees to Suspension of
Hostilities.

Puerto Mexico, July 21.-The Ger
man cruiser Dresden, with former
President Huerta and his family and
former war Minister Banquet, Sonora
Banquet and their daughter aboard,
sailed at 1880 o'clock Monday night
for Jamaica. The departure of the
former chief executive was without in
cident, there not being even any
shouts of goodbye" to him from the
dock.
Without the slightest furore and
with no touch of the dramatic except
the persence along the water front of
a half hundred ragged, barefoot sol
diers of the Twenty-ninth regiment,
and the Zaragoza brigade, Huerta left
the country whose destiny he has done
so much to shape. 1t was the irony Of
fate that the last view of his native
land that came to him was the picture
Of the United States warship Tacoma,
representing the power of the hostile
nation that forced him to abdicate his
dictatorship.
Huerta Scores Wilson.
Standing amidst group to whom
he was bidding farewell, the ex-presi-
dent granted the first real interview
he has given out since he left Mexico
City. He hurled shafts of sarcasm at
Wilson and Bryan and predicted that
there would be chaos in Mexico for
while, but that the ultimate preserva-
ton of the country's autonomy would
be accomplished without the interven-
ton of the United States.
Huerta left the people of Puerto
Mexico Sitting on the safety valve"
Rebels have been sighted across the
river and many federal soldiers are
deserving. Believing themselves in I'M
minent personal danger, the principal
generals of the Huerta party who were
left behind, took their families aboard
the British cruiser Bristol.
Huerta's Family With Him.
With Huerta went his wife and
three daughters, Elena, Eva and Celia.
In the party were Also Gen. and Sc
nora Banquet and their daughter Es-
peranza. Among those who took ref
uge on the British cruiser Bristol were
Col. and Sonora George Huerta and
their four children; Maj. Victor Huer-
Ia and his wife; Gen. Luis Fuentes
and his wife, who was Luise Huer.
tai Francisco Col and his wife, who
was Eliza Huerta, and the following
generals with their families: Juan
Hernandez, former governor of Pueb-
la; Augustin Breton, Liborio Fuentes,
Artuo Alvaradejo, Jesus Rincon, Fer.
nado Gil and Ramon Corona.
Carranza Agrees to Negotiations.
Washington, D. c., July 21-Gen.
Carranza on Monday informed the I'm
tied States government that he was
ready to declare suspension of hos
tilities against the government of Pro-
visional President Carbajal, Huerta's
successor, pending negotiations with
his representatives for the transfer
of authority at Mexico City to the con-
The constitutionalist chief pressed
his views in most cordial terms to
John r. Silliman, personal representa-
tive of President Wilson, Consul Gen.
eral Hanna and Vice Consul Roberts
son, who interviewed him at Monterey.
Not only did he voice willingness to
receive the commission of three ap-
pointed by Provisional President Car
bajal to discuss peace, but said he
would send an escort to meet them
and provide safe conduct through con.
territory.
Expect Successful Negotiations.
Inasmuch as the three men chosen
by Mr. Carbajal are constitutionalists
who have been in hiding in Mexico
City and are thoroughly In accord with
Gen. Carranza's policy, as well as per-
sonal friends of Mr.. Carbajal, the Inn
is general that the negotia-
lions for a transfer of authority of
government will be successful.
Gen. Carranza is insistent, however.
that the surrender of the CarbajaI
government should be unconditional.
He is willing, it is declared by his rep
resentatives here, to grant a limited
amnesty not as a condition of surren-
der, but as voluntary act of generos-
ity on the part of the constitutional
lists after they obtain the reins of gov.
eminent
1t is the intention of the constitu-
tionalists to give guarantees of safety
to the people generally, but to prose-
cute ringleaders in the plot through
which Madero was overthrown. Most
of the latter, however, already have
left Mexico.
