At End Of HIS Rope.

Mexico City, May 5.-The iron
and steel nerves of General HUI
erta have been shattered. The
man whose hand was never be-
fore known to tremble is now al
most a nervous wreck. The strain
under which he has lived for ten
days transformed him into a mere
wreck of his former self.
For a week General Huerta has
not slept in his bed. All night
he rides through the streets of
Mexico City in his automobile,
frequently drinking heavily of
strongest brandy to steady him
self. And when from complete
exhaustion he dozes, the tired
chauffeur stops the automobile
and it remains motionless until
Huerta awakes with start and
orders the chauffeur to move on.
One night the man who calls
himself President of Mexico rode
through the forest of Chapulte-
pee from dark until daylight.
When he would doze the auto.
mobile would stop under those
aged and gnarled cypress trees
and Huerta would sleep.
General Huerta is keeping him.

drink. We're it taken away from
