Il may add that the circular issued by
the Department of Commerce at WASH

marked Improvement in the foreign trade
of the United States of America which
we have noted with great satisfaction.
The general complaint in your excel
iency's note was that the action of Great
Britain was affecting adversely the trade
of the United States with neutral coun-
tries. The naval operations of Great
Britain certainly do not interfere with
commerce from the United States on its
way to the United Kingdom and the al
lied countries. and yet the exports OF
Great Britain and her allies during those
four months diminished to the extent of

HUERTA'S ARREST, INCITES
NEW REVOLUTION IN MEXICIC

WASHINGTON, D. c. June 3d.
Following closely upon the arrest of
Huerta and his associates in Ell Paso,
a new revolution of formidable pro-
portion seems certain in Northern
Mexico. The arrest of Huerta and
Orozo does not seem to have discon-
certed their followers, and attacks on
the Villaistic strong holds of Juanz
and Chihuahua seems iminent at any
hour.
Villa is rushing northward with all
possible effort to mass an army in the
vicinity Of Chihuahua.
This movement is calculated to be
a serious drive back to President Will

ment we'll as to Villas and Carranza's
planplans immediate action of this
Government is expected.
1t seems probable that prominent
Americans may be arrested at any hour
