NEW EXECUTIVE
RULES MEXICO
General Adolfo De La Huerta
Named as President.
REGIME Is NOW FUNCTIONING
Obregonistas Confiscate the National
Treasury Funds at Mexico City
Collapse of Carranza Govern
ment Appears Complete.

Washington, May 12.-FOllowing the
complete collapse of the Carranza
regime in Mexico, new government,
with Gen. Adolpho de la Huerta at its
head, has been formed. This an
nOuncement was made here by the
mission Of the revolution, whose chief
is Senior AlvarO Tore Dias.
The new government is already
functiOning, and it is understood to
have indicated that it desires the rec
ignition Of the United States. A tele-
gram on that subject has been re-
ceived from Sonora, seat of the new
Mexican government.
The rapid developments, all blood
less, demanded discussion by the cab
met at its meeting, but as usual moth
ing official was announced following
the meeting. The situation called for
principally because the new anti-Car-
rama, anti-autocratic dictatOrial cabal
at Mexico City is already functiOning,
and it is with this regime tina the
United States army and navy and he
state department must deal unless
Carranza, whose whereabouts are I'M
known, be propped up again at some
place within the boundaries of Mex
leo. This, however, is only very re-
motely possible, in the opinion of Off
Gals here.
Obreeon Seizes Treasury.
What apparently has been decided
is that this government, in its settle
ments this time, will not invoke the A
B. G. governments as conferees. In
stead, it will follow the rule that if
the regime does not interfere with
the life and property interests of citi-
zens of the United States it will be
recognized.
Obregonistas confscated the nation
al treasury funds, according to wire
less messages received from Mexico
City.
A peaceful outcome is indicated by
the fact that the dispatches from
American cOnsuls and naval officers
in Mexican waters declare that all is
quiet.
The personnel of the new govern
ment follows:
Gen. AdOlfo de la Huerta, provision
al president.
Gen. Salvador Alvarado, minister of
finance.
Gen. Plutarce Gales, minister of
war.
Alonzo Tore Diaz, minister of
state ad interim.
Not Related to Former President.
Senior Diaz belongs to the old Diaz
family, but General de la Huesta has
no family connection with former
President Huerta. Interesting, as in
dicating the closeness of the relations
between Gen. Pablo Gonzales and
General Obregon, it was said here that
Diaz is a close friend of Gonzales and
was suggested by ObregOn for his
present post.
The new provisional president is
now at HermOsillO, the capital of So
nor, where the present revolution
was organized. He will proceed to
Mexico City very shortly, according
to the revolutionary mission officers
here. He is the present governor of
the state of Sonora.
General de la Huerta is about forty
three years of age, and is described as
man of great executive ability, both
as an official and in commercial bust
ness.
