HUERTA ARRESTED
ON AMERICAN SOIL
FORMER MEXICAN PRESIDENT
CHARGED WITH VIOLATING
NEUTRALITY LAWS.
Detention Of Former Dictator Believed
to Have Frustrated an Attempt
to Launch a New Revolutionary
Movement in Mexico.

Ell Paso, Texas.-General VictorianO
Huerta, former provisional president
OF Mexico, and General Pascual Or
ozco we're arrested here Sunday on or
ders Of the United States department
of justice, charging that they had vio-
lated the neutrality laws by conspir-
ing to send an armed expedition into.
Mexico
Formal charges were filed against
Huerta and Orozco on instructions
from the United States district attor-
ney at San Antonio. The accused
were taken before George Oliver
United States commissioner, and their
bond approved and their hearing fixed
for Thursday, July /. Surety was fur
nished by friends OF Huerta, the for
mer president being released on $751;
900 bond, and General Orozco on ST.
500 bond.
1t is believed that the United States
government has frustrated, for the
present, an attempt on the part OF
General Victoriano Huerta and his
associates to launch from American
territory a new revolutionary move
ment in Mexico.
The release of the Mexican leaders
caused nearly as great a stir in Next
can and American circles as did the
news of their detention earlier in the
day. Immediately there was a revival
of rumors relative to the new revolu-
tionary movement, although Huerta
reiterated his statement that he did
not intend to attempt to enter Mexico
until peace is restored. The general
stated that he is here merely to visit
his daughter a few days and greet old
friends in Ell Paso.

DENIES RIGHT TO SINK SHIP.
eermanys Contention in William P.
Frye Case Disputed.

Washington.-By agreement with
the German foreign office the state
department made public Tuesday
night the text of the note sent on
June "a by the United States, asking
Germany to reconsider her refusal to
settle by direct diplomatic negotia-
lions, instead of by prize court pro-
ceedings, the claim presented on be-
half of the captain and owners OF the
American ship William P. Frye, sunk
with her cargo of wheat by the COM
merce raider Prinz Eitel Friedrich.
Ambassador Gerard cabled that he
had delivered the note on June 26.
The American government declares
that inasmuch as Germany has ad
mitted liability for the sinking of the
Frye under the treaty Of 1928, prize
court proceedings are unnecessary and
not binding upon the United States.
