,, Washington, D. c., June 2s.The in
side details of the plot to restore the
, Huerta regime in Mexico, which was
: Inipped in the bud by the United States
began trickling out to-day through net
OF official secrecy. While General Vic
, toriano Huerta and his chief lieutenant
Pascual 0rozco, are under federal deten-
tion at FL Paso other Mexicans, nearly
a score of whom had part in the plot
that failed and probably some Amer
leans, are under surveillance. 1t is be-
lieved by some who are in close touch
with Mexican affairs that the coup was
to have had financial support of some
prominent American interests.
FL Paso, Tex, June 2s.--Charges of
conspiring to incite revolution against
a friendly country were filed yesterday
against Victoriano Huerta, former pres
ident of Mexico, who was placed under
arrest at Newman, n. NJ, by federal
officers.
| Similar charges were filed against Cen.
| Pascua Orozco, who was arrested at the
same time Huerta was released last
night on $4,000 bond. Orozco's bail
was fixed at $3.50, and he also was re-
leased.
A public demonstration in JuareZ
about an hour before Huertas train
was due to reach this city, ended as
suddenly as it began. There were hur-
ried conferences among Mexican leaders
on both sides of the Rio Grade. Many
guardedly admitted that Huerta's deten-
tion was of the utmost importance, but
none would comment on its possible eff
feet on Mexico.
For several days there have been per-
sistent reports that June 2s had been
fixed as the date for far-reachng devel- |
opments at Juarez in connection with |
the so.cslled third revolutionary move |
ment. Some observers professed to see !
close relation between this movement |
and the arrival of General Huerta.
Those who regard Huerta as one Of
the strongest men in Mexican public life
in recent years believe his detention
may result in removing strong inhu'
ence on Yenustiano Carranza and Fran
cisco Villa for the reasonable conduct Of
their governments.
Instead of being given an enthusiastic
welcome from his supporters, many of
whom had gathered at the border, Gen
eral Hnerta reached FL Psso in custody
OF federal officers and under guard of 25
United States troopers. The former
Mexican executive and General Orozco
were taken to the customshouse here
and later removed to Fort Bliss, where
they were held until their bonds had been
provided. General Huerts, in answer TO
/ question denied he had intended to re-
enter Mexico at this time.
General Huerta had planned to leave
