FEAR OF SACK


Bliss. warned Mexicans to-day against
the A. B. c. peace meditation plan.
He issued statement in which he
calls the mediation efforts of the
United States and Central and South
American republics IAN invention OF
Washington" He says the first A. b.
c. conference at Niagara Falls was
called because the United States had
got into Vera Cruz and did not know
how TO get out.
General Huerta declares the A. B.
c. meditation plan is not only men
ace to Mexico, but TO all Latin
American countries, since "the United
States can always find friends to act
with it against any of the smaller re-
pubics, since there is much Jealousy
among them all"
Huerta charges that the United
States has called the A. B. c. mediators
together merely to back up its inter-
vention plans in Mexico.
Disguise for Washington.
"The a. B. c. is not concert of
American nations" General Huerta
said. "No entente is existing as yet
quite far from it. Argentina and Brazil
and Chill look upon each other with no
disguised jealousy. The A. b. c. has no
international life; it is merely hete-
rogeneous composition invented by
Washington to disguise its designs Of
Intervention.
THE A. B. c. has made a mistake
politically and automatically. To-day
il feels proud to form part of the
League Of America to decide the fate
of the Republic of Mexico. Caution
should warn it that the same tribunal,
with different components, could judge
and decide the fate of any OF its mem
bers, as the United States will never
be without comrades TO decide accord
ing TO its own wishes.
"If armed intervention should come
it would be difficult for us to clash
against them all. However, we would
show them how deep is our love for in
dependence and liberty, and there is no
doubt that our brothers from the
Southern republics would retreat,
ashamed of having taken part in such
shameful enterprise, and their re-
spect for US would be materially en-
HANGED"
General Huerta denied emphatically
the report that he hoped, with the aid
of Germany, to be restored to power in
Mexico.
Villa to Form Republic.
An independent republic, composed
Of the states of Chihuahua, Coahuila
and Sonora, will be formed by General
Villa and General Angeles if the A B &
conference puts other than Villa man
at the head of the new government IN
Mexico, according to Villa men here,
who claim to have had the plan direct
from Villa and Angeles. -,
Villa, it is said, has abandoned all
hope of gaining control in Mexico by
force of arms without the recognition
of the United States, and If he is not
recognized by the mediators he Will try
to retain what territory he now con-
trolls in the north and, with Angeles,
will establish a republic OF his own.
General Villa arrived in Chihuahua
City to-day from Juarez, ordered the
state seals removed from all the for
eign-owned stores he has seized, and
had the stores returned to their own
ers.
Information was received on the Dor
der to-day that Villa troops in the
State of Durango had mutinied and re-
pudiated Villa. The mutiny started,
the .dvices say, in the garrison IN the
city of Durango and spread to other
garrisons.
An attack on Torreon by the entire
army of General Aware Obregon began
to-day, according to advices received
by Carranza officials here. Villa, who
was in chihuahua this morning, hurried
to TorreOn to direct the defence, dis
patches say.
