DiSClaims Responsibility

1T has been said that you be
trayed the confidence Of President
Madero; is it so?" he was asked.
Gen. Huerta Strengthened proudly,
his eyes flashed as he replied:

All Humbug, Says Romero.
Seattle, Wash, April 16.---"That's
all humbmg," said Col. NJ. Perez Ro..
nero, recently appointed Carranza
minister to Japan, and brother Of
Mrs. Francisco Madero, widow of the
late President Of Mexico, last night
when shown a copy Of statement
issued in New York yesterday by
Gen. Victoraino Huerta, former Pro-
Visional President of Mexico, dis
claiming responsibility for the death
Of Madero.
"Disregarding the question Of who
actually shot Madero, the fact re-
MAINS" Col Romero said, that Gen.
Huerta was in power and could COM
mand the armed forces Of the coun-
try. President MaderO was his prs-
oner, and while in his power was as
sassinateG. How Huerta can at
tempt to evade responsibility for his
death is inconceivable.
81 was an eyewitness to all the
happenings Of those tragic days eX-
cept for seven hours, from 10 O'Clock
at night until o'clock in the morn
ing, when Mr.. Madero was killed. At
. o'clock l traced the automobile to
the penitentiary and there saw pools
of blood behind the prison, and was
told by persons coming away that
there the President had been shot by
the soldiers
These facts have all been gone
over, time and again. 1t is useless
for Gen. Huerta to disclaim RESPONSE
bility."
Col. Romero left Vera Cruz a.
month ago, visiting the Carranza le-
cations in Cuba and Canada before
coming to Seattle. He sails to-mor-
row on the Japanese liner Shidzuoka
Maru for Japan to take up his diplo-
matte duties.

When closing in on the entrance

over the ship and dropped some in

any attempt to explode their contents

called all hands to seek the cover of
the galley to save themselves from
what he thought was an attempt to
destroy the ship. Some were not
long in seeking cover, where, if the
aviator had meant mischief they
would have been in a close hole.

WAN-GAINED GROUND COSTLY.
Whole Ranks Sacrificed i'm the Great
Les Eparges Battle.

Paris, April 16.--"The action by
which we gained the mastery Of the
entire crest Of Les Eparges, April 8,
was the elimination of a prolonged
and violent effort" says a French
eyewitness, describing the desperate
fighting in that vicinity. 1T was a
victory" he continues, analogous IL
the intensity Of offensive to that
which took us to the summit OF
Hartmanns-W -Weilerkopf, and more
important, if one considers the forces
engaged.
The crest Of Les Eparges domi-
mates the heights Of the Meusc and
the immense plains Of the Woevre.
Its sides are abrupt and it is sur
rounded by numerous streams 1t
! frequently becomes a mountain of
mud. Capture Of the crest was in
| dispcnsable.
AT the beginning OF the forward
movement the French were at the
edge of the village of Les Eparges.
A long and savage fight to gain
ground followed. The Germans at
one time placed two heavy batteries
on the plains. A number of success
ful actions finally brought the
French to the point by trying de-
cisive offensive. This began at 4
o'clock on the afternoon of April ,
with the capture of the western sum-
nit as the object. 1t was raining
and the fighting began in sea of
mud.
"ln spite Of a heavy fire from the
enemy's artillery and the fact that
our infantrymen hardly could lift
their legs out of the mire, the
French advanced steadily. After
hand-to-hand fighting, the French in
stalled themselves in the German
trenches, except to the east, where
they were stopped by aerial torpe-
does, which sometimes moved down
our entire ranks.
"On the 9Th the Germans counter
attacked, their troops fighting won

HUERTA ENTERS HIS DENIAL.
Knows Those Responsible, But is
Keeping "Professional Secret"

New York, April 15.-Asserting
that he had nothing to do with the
death of Francisco Madero, Gen. Vic
toriano Huerta, former Provisional
President of Mexico, issued a lengthy
signed statement tonight, setting
forth what he termed his side OF the
Mexican question.
Gen. Huerta declared he knew
who was responsible for Madero's
death, but that he was keeping it as
professional secret
Gen. Huerta's statement reviewed
the history of the Madero revolution,
mis- own accession to he Provisional
Preidency and concluded with the
assertion that my country cannot be
conquered"
Sixteen millions of men, wo-
men and children. would have to be
killed before Mexico would submit
to an invader, Huerta asserted
The heads Of the Washington ad-
ministration, Huerta declared, had
not been fair to Mexico; had been
misled by false statements. and if
they had been in Mexico for 80 days
they would have changed their the
oretical, erroneous ideas" /. ad it
not been for the embargo on the ex-
portation of arms from this country,
Gen. Huerta indicated that his army
would have prevailed over those op-
posed to it.
Only Because of Peace.
The former Provisional President
reiterated the assertion that he had
resigned from his position only be-
cause he hoped to bring peace to his
country. He pointed out that in the
eight months elapsed since that date
the situation in Mexico had become
too sad for me to analyze deeply"
"Anarchy is too soft word to call
it," he said. Mexico eventually
would be saved, but by Mexican, he
said. Who that would be he did not
know.
Huerta declined to give any ink
ling as to his future movements. He
denied that he would go to any point
near the Mexican border. Discussing
the death of Madero, he said:
THAT is a professional secret.
Lawyers have secrets, doctors have
secrets-I am a soldier-why should
not a soldier have secrets? 1t is not
through friendship for any one that
l am withholding the information. 1t
is a professional duty. The time will
