Where does the boosted strength Of
Gen. Huerta appear in the results OF
military activity in Mexico? IT he is
the strong man SO often referred to
by his 5partisians in this county, how
are we to explain the awful routs at
Juarez, at Ojinaga, at Torreon, al
Tampico? If he is hero Of a nation
proud and courageous, how are we to
account for the fact that one of the
largest armies that he ever put IN
the field is now imprisoned on
American soil, to which it fled in
ignominy? 49, -.. ,.@ sS
Strong men sometimes suffer de-
feat, but they are not always and eV-
erywhere on the run. If Gen. Huer1a
had been able to inspire any consid-
cradle element of the people with
faith in his. cause, the fortunes OF
war could not have gone so steadily
against him. In spite OF the great
advantage of holding the capital ana
commanding the usual agencies OF
government, he loses always in his
conflicts with men whom we are ask
ed to believe are mere bandits.
+; The thing is impossible. Huer'a
is a despotic usurper without a true
following. He is feared nowhere ex-
cent in his citadel. He is surround
ed by enemies, spies, traitors. his
so-called armies are seething with
sedition. They fight when they
must, but they prefer to fly or TO-
surrender. He is not sure even OF
his generals. There is hardly a man
% irte!iig ence in his service who
does not know that there is no nope
for a government whose arms are
sustained chiefly by conscripts and
liberated felons.
That Mexico is worth saving Is
shown as conclusively by the half.
heartedness of Huerta's rabble as it
is by the progress of the Constitu-
tionalists. The dictatorship is fall
ing because it has no true support
The republic in arms is irresistible
because it represents a people bent
upon working out Its own dellyerance.]
