Officials at the Department OF JUS
tice refused TO say under which sta.
tutes General Huerta and General
Orozco had been held, but said this
would be developed if formal arrests
were made, contingency depending
upon the information contained IN the
expected reports from the agents or
tic Department of Justice.
While the department here will keep
a close watch on the case, oihciais
made it clear that it was now entirely
in the hands of United States Attor-
new Camp. Upon him rests the re-
sponsibility of keeping the Mexicans
under surveillance while they are at
liberty on bond.

Huerta and his friends at FL Paso was
expressed here tonight by Eliseo

of his own selfish ends. His govern

President Madero and Vice-President
Pine Suarez.
"The action Of the United States
government arose from ideals OF

United States are wise and their ap-
plication will avoid a repetition OF the
immoral spectacle which the previous
administration of Huerta presented.
Huerta has taken advantage OF Ameri-
can hospitality to incubate treason

with the very intentions OF the gov
eminent which gave him refuge.
