Desires TO Protect Foreigners.
I really believe that General
Huerta desires to protect foreigners,
especially Americans. He issued or
ders from the national palace that no
foreigner should be mOlested This
belief is based on an opinion current
in Mexico City when ] left there that
the cOnStitutiOnalists would not join
forces with the federals. Thus in the
even of an uprising in the capital.
Huerta would rely on the foreign col
ony to protect him.
without the stain OF foreign blood
upon his hands, the dictator would be
in a better position to seek the protec
ton of a foreign flag if insurrectiOn
should break out in the capital.
Anti-Huertista demonstrations had
begun to occur in the suburbs at the
time of my departure, indicating that
the political forces Of the dictator
were preparing to take advantage of
their present opportunity
Placards were posted on the out
skirts sf the city reading:

The police went through the streets
