Puts IL UD TO De la Huefta.
The committee urged that before
any recognitionAwas accorded Gen
eral de la Huerta, the revolutionary
leader, who will become the pres
ident ad interim tomorrow, he de-
monstrate that his administration
has the stability TO endure and that
it is disposed to comply with the
rules of international comfy and
the obligations of treaties. To
every one exercising authority in
Mexico, the warning should be sent,
the report says. that this govern
ment will hold them responsible for
the sufferings and losses of Ameri-
cans. The report was based ON the
testimony obta ned from 257 wit
nesses heard here. in New York and
on the border and mass of docu-
mentary evidence. The report set
forth that since the Madero revo-
luton began there have been killed
in Mexico 461 Americans and many
other foreigners. The number of
Americans killed on the American
side was placed at 1926.
The aggregate damage that the

by the national railways was placed

losses of one American mining con-

it was pointed out, much of the loss
had been borne by small property
owners.
Decrease i'm Population.
According to the Investigations Of
the committee, the population of
Mexico has decreased nearly one
third since 1910 as a direct result
of the disturbed condition. Much
of this is due to disease, attributed
in large percentage, it is asserted,
to starvation.

Indication of the manner in which
the Carranza administration re-
garded the United States, and its
president, there was published in
the report the following copy of
a letter written by Candido Augilar,
son-in-law of Carranza, to Elizo
Arrendondo. Mexican minister at
Madrid, three weeks after Aguilar
had placed a wreath on Washing
toms tomb:
your note dated the fourth OF
the past month received. In view
of the internal crisis which the
United States is experiencing, Will
sons policy is provoking indigna-
ton among the parties and the
press is attacking the president
severely. He goes from one blund-
er to another and shows each dav
more clearly that he is a perfectly
incompetent person
"1f the failure in Europe were
not sufficient, it would be corrobo-
rated by the ineXpedient notes that
we have received from Washington
and which President Carranza has
answered with the impertinence
those yankees merit. / see in all
his criminal intention to inter-
vene in our country Time will
show me to be right"
