tor Charles EnguSh desired to see him. Followed by the camera bri- gade, the newspapermen, and all the passengers. General Huerta proceeded at once to the saloon dining room, where. MT. English awaited him.

 -sHe is my friend. that is all.''
 That concfuded General Huertaas examination, and he was made to sign |an affidavit that he did not expect to stay more than thirty days in the United States. If at the end of that time he is still in the country a head tax of $4 will have to be paid to the Government. So all that stands be- tween General Huerta and a long visit is the price of two Broadway theatre tickets
 MT. Rather and MT. Delgado were questioned next, and both stated thas they were only transients, and did not expect to exceed the thirty day limit. Like their chief they both made af11davits to this effect.
 Gay Passenger on Voyage.
 The ordeal in the saloon seemed to. depress General Huerta. and he re- tired to his stateroom and remained there until after the liner had dock ed. The passengers said he had been the life of the smoking room He talked of Mexico and Europe on the way over and once in referring to. the great war described it as some tussle.i'
 As the liner neared her. East River pier at Ceenties Slip, those on board saw 3. big crowd awaiting. It was for the most part composed of MeM- cans. all of whom. except a few Vilfs- ta and C5arranzista, representatives, General Huerta~ Some said they were generals and others admitted that that they had been colonels or majors. Nobody would admit having been a captain or a lieutenant
 In the crowd were Senor Ramos. representing Pancho Villa, and two or three of his friends, and also a. detective or two, who. 1t was rumored were there to report the welcome for Carranza- Francisco Carbajal. pr. Urrutia Gamboas Rubio Navarette, and other staunch supporters of Huer- tas who 1t had been rumored, were to meet him. were not on the pier
 The Antonio Lopez docked soon af- ter o'clock, but 1t was nearly an hour before General Huerta left the ship. He seemed loath to meet the crowd that awaited him, many of whom, it appeared, he had never seen before, despite the fact that they rushed up patted him on the back. and told him he was looking fine, and that they were ready to risk all for. him. the best President Mexico ever had. . It was then the messenger boy delivered his package. All the preliminaries seemed to weary Huerta nightly. One man he seemed glad to see was big Texan who was con- spicuous of his great gray sonbrero. This man was Capt George J. Head. who. in June. 1s1 3. delivered to Gen. Huerta the ultimatum of Gov. CoIquitt of Texas in which the governor stated that if any Texans were hurt by bull lets fired over the border the Rangers would cross the Rio Grande

T beg you gentlemen to remember that no interview with me should be considered as authentic unless it car ries my personal signature,
 4 moment later he was in a. taxicah and speeding uptown to his hotel. The Vil1istas had nothing to say re- gardfng the action of the government in permitting General Huerta, to land in New York. They made heir pro test several days ago and said they did not desire to say anything fur ther, since the protest had been over ruled by the authorities CarranMsta Oh1cial Protests.
