to Prevent Destruction Of Life and
Property When Capital

asking for instructions.
Dominique has been General Car

ital since the beginning Of the reYolu-
ton. He also acted as Intermediary
during the Madero revolution and 1t
was to him that Gen. Diaz turned over
the government and the city during
the time between his departure for
Europe and the entry Of Francisco Ma
dero. Gen. Carranza's reply to 'Mr.
Dominguez was not made public here.
Constitutionalist officials here re-

Gen. Carranza at SaltillO will be brief
and that the first chief will enter the
capital at the head of his victorious
troops with little delay.

HUERTA LEAVES MEXICO
Ragged, Barefoot Regiment Of Soldiers
Bid Farewell to Chief on Pier
at Puerto Mexico.

Puerto Mexico.-Victoriano Huerta
left Mexican soil, probably never to
return. After open signs Of mutiny
had led to the arrest Of two officers
attempting to excite the soldiers to as
sassinate Huerta, the ex-dfctator list
ened to the fearful e~ntreaties Of his
wife and c~apitulated and went ON
board the German cruiser Dresden.
With the former president and his
family and former War Minister BlAn-
quet, Sonora Banquet and their daugh-
ter aboard, the Dresden sailed for IA
maica.
Without the slightest Juror and with
no touch of the dramatic except the
presence along the water front Of q
half hundred ragged, barefoot soldiers
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 warsllip Tacoma,
representing the power Of the hostile
nation that forced him to abdicate his
dictatorship
Standing amidst a group to whom he
was bidding farewell, the e~x-president
granted the first 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 a while,
but that the ultimate preservation of
the %country's autonomy would be &C.
complished without the Intervention OF
the United States.
Huerta's face lightened somewhat
when the correspondents approached,
and he began to talk to them. But
there is absolutely nothing | want to
say to you," he said.
What about Bryan? What do you
think of him?" asked one man.
81 want to say nothing whatever
about him. replied the ex-president.
Another asked him about President
Wilson.
"Mr. Wilson is president Of the
, United States" he answered, land as

remind you that in all this affair

Today offered a resolution to postpone
action on the Panama tolls repeal bill
until the question had been practical
ly" voted on in the election OF the en-
tire House OF Representatives and 90
senator's next November.
Norris Opens Fire.
Withouth waiting for the Panama
canal tools exemption bill to be called
formally before the Senate, Senator
Norris began debate on the subject
with an appeal for a resort to arbitra-
ton. He favored the House repeal
measure, with a n amendment express-
ly stating the United States waived no
rights thereby, but called upon Presi-
dent Wilson to invite Great Britain to
arbitrate the dispute as to the right OF
the United States to discriminate in
favor of its w vessels.
The exemption of coastwise vessels
from tolls. Senator Norris commended.
DUN to nothing less than q sub
sidy to q class Of vessels already en-
1oying a monopoly. and not deserving 1t
nearly as much az American vessels
engaged in foreign trade and competing
with all the ships of the word. He
argued that the exemption would not

Same as Free Railroad.
He Insisted the government had no
more right to pay Che legitimate coat of
transportation of goods across the 18TH
mus than it had to build a free rail-
road acros the continent.
Senator Norris criticized the position
taken by senator Lodge, that the Uni
ted States has a right to discriminate
IN favor of It's own vessels, but should
surrender that right out Of respect to
he opinion of the civilized world. On
the other hand, the Nebraska senator
said that to decline to arbitrate he
question would be to reverse the pre-
tense the United States has been
making in h family of nations for
years.
1t would not do. he argued. to admit
the of the case by SAYING the
civilized world was against the United
States, and therefore a fair ribunal OF
arbitration could not be procured. He
