washington, July 2. - GoneIal VIC
torlana Huerta, former dictator and
president OF Mexico. whose defiance OF
Presidentn Wilson led to the seizure
Of Vera Cruz by American marines and
bluejackets. will not be permitted to
enter Mexico from the United States
at time when his presence would be-
a farther menace to the plans Of this
government to restore peace II the fed-
eral government can prevent 1t.
Determination to keep Huerta from
crossing the southern border Of the
United States and thus complicating
the present Mexican situation with q
new revolution. reached the point to-
day where four different ways Of de-
aiming tho former Mexican chteftain
were under consideration by various
departments OF the United States gov.
ernment.
Secretary Lansing, In referring TO
the receipt OF formal request for
the extradition OF Huerta from the
military authorities of the state Of Chi
huahua. intimated that the federal gov
ernment could. II 1t chose. withdraw It's
present charges OF violating American
neutrality laws and surrender Huerta
to the Villa commander at Juarsz.
May Deport Him.
Secretary Wilson. OF the department
OF labor. has under consideration q
plan for deporting Huerta to Spain.
under tho immigration laws covering
the return Of undesirable aliens.
General Funston. OF the department
Of Texas, has been ordered to use tho
| military forces at his disposal to pre-,
vent Huerta from crossing tho limo
! while at liberty on bail.
The department OF Justice II gather
ing evidence for the peoseonticn of
| Huerta under the federal statute. I'm
! til the hearing on July ~. General,
Huerta will be kept from re-enterins
Mexico by the joint efforts OF agents
Of tho department OF Justice and the
troops of the American border patrol.
Fearing that Huerta might forfeit his
bond of 5000 and cross at some se-,
cluded point on the Mexican border.
officials have ordered that strict watch
be kept
Close Watch Kept.
Just how General Funston plans to
take care Of Huerta was not made
clear today, but 1t is assumed that
American troops not only will be In
structed to watch the border carefully
but If necessary place a guard around
Huerta's home and otherwise keep him
under surveillance.
1t has not been definitely determined
what action will be taken on the re.
quest for extraditlon made by the,
villa government OF Chihuahua. Sec-
retary Lansing pointed out today that
discretionary power was vested with
| the governor of Texas and that under
| the Mexican American treaty Of 1899.
! tho governors Of contiguous border
states in the United States and Mex
leo can uarrange directly for the requi.
! sition of fugitives from justice. He
explained that that treaty provided
also for the granting of requisition

when the civil authorities were sus-
pended. and he believed that would
cover the present case. as no civil gov
crnment has been recognized In north

May Withdraw Bail.
I! Under the same treaty. II the federal
government did not press its charge
against Huerta for violation OF neu-
trality statutes, Huerta would be re-
