Washington, June 2S.-Inside details
of the plot to restore Huerta regime
to Mexico, nipped in the bud by the
United States, began trickling out to-
day thru the net Of official secrecy,
while General Huerta and his chief,
Pascua Orozco, were under federal de-
tention at Ell Paso.
Other Mexicans, nearly score OF
whom had a part in the plot that 1ah-
ed and probably some Americans, are
under surveillance by the department
of justice.
Secretary Lansing conferred TO-DAY
with Assistant Attorney General war
rem and it became apparent that the
Nof justice intends to sltt

Where the trial might leao
in the United States is only matter
OF conjecture. All officials were silent
on the matter, but 1t IS generaiiy DC
lieyed by those in close touch with
Mexican affairs that the coup was to
have the financial support OF some
prominent Americans. Official infor-
nation was disclosed that weeks ago,
Huerta. in apparent seclusion at MS
country place on Long Island, offered
his service to General Iturbide. one OF
the exile colony in New York, and at
the same time an emissary to Wasn-
inRton II he would be persona non
srata to this government II he took
part In Mexican affairs. Iturbtde de-
chned his offer and Washington sent
word to the former dictator that he
would be persona non grata decidedly
so.
lturbide Accepts Husrta's Offer.
Immediately thereafter. the official
advices say, Huerta renewed his offer
to Iturbide with modified proposal
that Iturbide accept Huerta's aid with
Huerta's leadership but with the CO.
operation Of his associates. This latter
offer, diplomatists say, 1turbide ac-
cepted.
In view of this information. officials
are puzzled TO know just how much OF
an active part Huerta intended to take
in a movement on Mexican soil. altho
they have no doubt that at least he
intended to take charge of affairs on
the border.
In that connection it is known that
for weeks party OF prominent Mex
leans styled, by the Carranza and Villa
adnerents, "Huertaists'' and "Cientifi-
cos" have been maintaining an active
junta in the Ell Paso, in constant COM
with General Huerta and
other members OF the exile colony in
New York. and maintained among
themselves the form Of provisional
government with a president and men,
bers OF cabinet
Advices to Mexicans here have in
dicated that the junta was planning
some definite move.
Halt New Revolution Movements.
Secretary Lansing explained today
that the initiative had been taken tby
the department of Justice. He declined
to say whether any consideration of
American policy was involved, but It
is known that the United States in
tends that no more revolutionary ele-
ments shall be introduced into the
Mexican situation. and that. as far as
possible, there will be vigorous prose-
cution Of all Mexicans who plan to set
afoot military operations from the
United States.
It was made clear that the agencies
OF the department of Justice we're not
being directed alone against Huerta
and Orozco but against all others af-
f1liate with Mexican factions who now
are under Indictment.
Officials Of the department were
much surprised to learn that Huerta
and Orozco had been released on bail.
Huerta Makes No Resistance.
An over night dispatch from Major
General Funston. commanding the bor-
der forces. merely said that Colonel
Morgan, Of the Fifteenth cavalry, at
the request of the assistant United
States attorney. escorted General
Huerta to Ell Paso. and that the former
Mexican dictator willingly accompa-
MED" him to that city. General Huerta
left his train in Texas. Just over the
border from Newman, N. NJ.
