rest Of Generals Huerta and Orozco
would not prevent the entrance Of
new fighting force into the field.
In spite Of the detention of the gen
eral. events at FL Paso, according to
reports here, point TO continued actIV-
ity in the new revolutionary movement
Doubt is expressed by some whether
Huerta would make any effort TO cross
into Mexico. but well-informed persons
at Fl Paso report that revolutionary
AGENTS are active. and intimate that an
average of one hundred men cross tn
Rio Grande nightly. These persons do
not believe the Huerta incident VIII r.
tard revolutionary efforts, and predlc'
that important developments vii occur
in Juarez soon. Presumably the men
crossing the border are to be modified
al some secluded point IN Northern
Mexico.
To Offset this situation it was made
clear in official circles that the admin
istration has decided that, so far as 1t
can prevent, there shall be no further
| revolutionary movements In Mexico,
and that American territory, at any
rate, shat, not be used as their base.
Anarchy in Capital.
A courier sent by the British charge
d'afaires on June % arrived IN vera
Cruz Yesterday. forwarding a dispatch
10 Washington telling of the appalling
I conditions in the Mexican capital. II
is presumed that the messenger made
his way TO the seaport on horseback, as
railway communication is impossible
for the greater part Of the journey.
Zapata forces in Mexico City number
$4,000, and have succeeded in driving
the Carranza contingent under General
Gonzales from the city. The heaviest
fighting took place in the suburbs TO
the north Of the city, where Gonzales
was repulsed, with heavy losses
Fear LoOting in Capital.
Grave fears are entertained for the
safety of the lives and property OF the
thousands of foreigners resident in
Mexico CITY. Heretofore changes OF
government in the capital have been
effected peacefully, except in the case
~ the overthrow of the Madero gov
eminent. but even under such cond.-
lions there mas always been rlotlng and
footing. With hostile armies strug-
cling in the heart Of the city and no
RESPONSIBLE authority TO which such
outrages can be charged, il is lnevlta,
BILE that such practices VIII be carried
10 an extent that is terrific to contem-
plate.
/ indicted as q result Of the evidence
against him was not indicated to-day
by Department Of Justice ofhclals.
Since his arrival in this country fort
NIGHT 400 he has been under constant
surveillance by the government agents,
and evidence has been submitted, 1t is
said, showing his full connivance in
the Huerta plot.
An emphatic denial that General An
geles was in sympathy with any other
than the provisional government as
the Villistas term their administration,
was issued by the confidential agency
of the Villistas here.
The charges against Angeles by Off
cials Of the Department OF Justice
caused CONSERVATION along the Willis
tas in the capital. General Angeles
won his reputation as commander OF
the Villa artillery. On account of his
ability, however, he gradually won his
way to second in command Men in
position 10 judge of the military ability
of the two men-Villa and Angeles
declare that there is no question what
ever that Angeles is a far superior
general.
Plot Details Learned.
Inside details of the plot to restore
a Huerta regime to Mexico began
trickling out to-day through the net
Of official secrecy. Official informa-
ton disclosed that weeks ago Huerta,
in apparent seclusion at his coun-
try place on Long Island, offered his
services to General Iturbide, one Of
- -, Nauy Nprk and al
the same TIME sent an emissary TO
Washington to ask If he would be per-
soma grata TO this government if he
took a part in Mexican affairs.
Iturbde declined Huerta's company
and simultaneously Washington sent
word 10 the former dictator that he
would be decidedly persona non grata.
Immediately thereafter. the official
| advices here say, Huerta renewed his
| offer to Iturbide with a modified pro-
| posal that Iturbide accept Huerta's aid,
| without Huerta's leadership, but with
l the cooperation of his associates. This
last offer, officials here say, lturb:de
j accepted.
According TO information thus far
gathered, there are at least four sepa-
rate and distinct groups, apart from
the Villa and Carranza supporters, IN
L the united states, VINO are ACTIVE pO-
/ liticaly in the Mexican situation
| Whenever such activity shall reach the
point Of setting on foot military eX-
i petition from the United States ar
rests will follow.
The information gathered by govern
ment agents discloses that the various
groups have a common purpose ~ OPP
posing Carranza and Villa, but are
| working independently of each other
1 Inquiry is being made to learn what
4 financial interests are supporting the
| various factions, and there are hints
| that citizens Of one Of the belligerent
| countries Of Europe are involved in the
4 plots.
The position OF the United States is
| that the revolutionary elements in
Mexico should not be augmented and
the situation further complicated by
the addition of marauding armies
| which could hope TO gain any degree OF
military supremacy only after pro-
longed fighting. Famine conditions and
the devastations of the military fac
tons already in the field are of such q
threatening character that until the
American government is able to see
clearly what its own action should be
il is determined that no new elements
be introduced into the situation.
