Plans for the new revolt have been

was learned today. The Huerta party
has an office in a down town hotel
building. Delegates from San An

the cientifico party are expected TO
arrive in Eli Paso tonight for the
meeting with Huerta Many promi-

cities in the United States have ar

The purpose of the meeting is to make
final arrangements for the organiza-

Due This Morning.
Ell PASO, TEXAS, June 26.-Tne
train Victoriano Huerta is on today
IS due here at 6:3S a. M, Sunday.
Mexicans known to be in close touch
with the former dictator's plans pre-
tend to be ignorant of the truth
that Huerta is coming to Dl Paso to
lead an invasion into his native land
and attempt to reestablish himself at
the head of a new government.
These Huertistas denied that Next |
cans on the American side of the Dor
der have been hired to take up arms
with the former federalist. If Huerta
and his followers have organized an
army on American soil they have
worked so craftily that even secret /
service agents from the Washington |
government have failed to detect the
,,nt1
activity has been noted among the |
large Mexican population here. Local,
state and federal authorities here
know nothing about Huerta's plans. !
AS a result, a distinct feeling has
grown up since Huerta was reported |
enroute to I'll PLso that he will not
stop here, or il he Is indeed planning |
to invade Mexico that he will collect
his forces on the Mexican side at
some point remote from observation.
The border patrol has not been
Increased. The troops at Fort Bliss
have been prepared for any emergen-
CIV since the Mexican situation be-
came acute, following the Tampico
incident. Reports of Huertas COM
ing gave rise to a rumor that the
border patrol here would be inceras
ed.
Headed For the Boroer.
Ell PASO. Tex, June 26.-General
victoriano Huerta, the grim old die
tator of Mexico, it Is firmly believed
here tonight, is heading to the bor'
der with trouble in his heart.
Persistent reports that he and
other exiled Mexican leaders are pre-
pairing to start revolution within
q revolution seemed crystallized fol-
lowing rumors along the Rock Island
railway in northwestern Texas late
this afternoon that instead of heading
westward, Huerta in reality is COM
ing here as fast as an express train
can carry him.
Members of the dead federal power
have been congregating here or late.
They look confidently to Huerta to
lead them to fresh power in the
shattered. suffering republic to the
south.
Huerta himself said at Kansas City
about midnight last night that he was
bound to the Panama-Pacific exposl-
ton. But strangely enough his tick
ct was marked FL Paso--hot bed of
Mexicanry Mexicans and observers
OF Mexico's affairs see in his re-
ported coming, naught but new trouble
lin the already blood-marked nation.
And they are certain he is destined
for here.
This view was strengthened by the
villista agency charges at Washing
ton to the state department that
Huerta and party OF his followers
are coming to organize an attack on
:Juuarez and Ojinaga, using ner-
cenaries picked up along the border.
Huerta Denies it all.
