CENORA ADOLFO DE
OLA HUERTA, utfe of
Me1ico's Provisional Presi-
dent, and their t1co children

growth Of an armed rebellion; but
far from being disconnected by the
increasing difficulties Of the situa-
ton, Barragan continued to main
tain his unseemly attitude, and on
tho very eve Of the disastrous escape
from the capital he and his cohort
of elegant youths danced and drank
champagne in the cabarets.
During these fatal hours Carran-
"a and Barragan had concentrated
all power between them, but as the
end approached such authority as
remained fell into the gloved and be-
jeweled hands Of "the little Presi-
dent" and whenever it was necessary
for him to give a quick decision on
some urgent matter he had TO be
sought either in the houses Of his
lady loves or in the places of amuse-
ment where the underworld fore
gathered.
No Money for His Flight
The revolution was already at the
gates Of the capital and arrange
ments for the journey to Vera Cruz
completed, but "Juanito" Barragan
had not yet delivered to the despair
ing intendente of the palace either
the funds to provide food for the
Presidential train or the cash or
credit necessary for the intendente
to purchase loaf of bread or can
Of gasoline.
The trip from Mexico to Aljibes,
organized by Barragan, recalls one
of those described by the eloquent
pen of Suetonius, the historian of
the Roman emperors of the deca
dence. An endless caravan, in which
freely mingled, amid drunken feast
ing with champagne, depraved wom-
Ell dressed in silk and batiste and the
shabhily dressed soldiery, the pro-
fessional "Alphonsc" and the dis
couraged hero. TO give more color
to the scene there We're even two
wild lions, which Colonel Cantu, pro-
consul of Lower California, had sent
to the favorite, who was as powerful
as a freedman under Caligula or
Nero.

rama perished In q warlfke ambus-
cade, the object Of which was his
arrest, not his death. Furthermore,
it must be admitted that General
Obregon had absolutely no part
either in the conception or the ex.
ecution of the scheme. The secre.
tartes who accompanied the Presi-
dent, Pedro Gil Farias and Gerzain
Ugarte, assured me on their arrival
in Mexico City chat the words
shouted by the assailants were "Viva
Pel.ezl" and Surrender, Carranza
We promise you guaranties.'
It seems strange that cries Of
"Surrender, Carranza!" should have
been followed so swiftly by repeated
shots, but these were in reality few,
and were exaggerated by the terri
fed imagination Of Carranza's at
tendants; and for those Of US who
understand the psychology Of those
mounted Indians, who are extreme
ly primitive, there is no difference
between words and action. At that
moment, their action Of shooting was
automatic, something beyond their
will.

Only Advisers Who Would Flatter
His Vanity for Their Own
Profit Were Retained

telegraph to the President Of the re-
public his desire to retire into pri-
vate life.
The exhausted treasury was re-
gaining strength and bade fair to
defray all the expenses OF the bud
get Of state. The disbanding of the
army was being quietly accom-
plished, thousands Of soldiers will
ingly exchanged their arms for the
plow and renewed hope was stir
ring in Mexico. A new and unex-
pected position had intervened-the
policy Of President de la Huerta.
There is great belief in Mexico
in strong men, though strong men
have been the ruin Of the country.
This Is an unquestionable fact, and
yet everybody talks Of the strong
man who is indispensable to the sat
isfactory governing of the country.
The present Provisional President
dispelled the legend that has existed
from time immemorial and which
has yielded such disastrous results.
President de la Huerta did not wish
to be strong man; he had no desire
to concentrate power in his own
hands, nor to rule with an iron hand.
He wanted to be man with respect
for law, but without harshness, and
the result proved that he was right.
Huerta's Policy
There was another idea in Mexico,
that in order to govern one had
to be-well, to think Of one thing
and say another, to have a mask
always over ones face and q glove
over the hand Of iron; in short, to
be Machiavelli and q Frederick
William at once. Sefior de Ia Huerta
wished nothing Of the sort. He was
quite the contrary, and he won. He
was sincere, cordial and generous,
and to-day in Mexico, where it is
SO difficult to be popular in govern
ment and worse still at critical mo-
ments, public opinion is unanimous
in his support.
If the government which is to sue
ceed him will continue on the lines
drawn by him, in spite of the black
est apprehensions, which are logical
enough, Carranza's inheritance will
not, as we feared, be such a Nessus
shirt for Mexico after all. There
are reasons, too, for thinking this.
Indications point to the view that
General Obregon will take advan-
tage of the teaching Of the last
regime, and, carrying the memory
of the painful experience of q tenn
pestuous yesterday, he will direct
his policy wisely toward the work of
national reconstruction, which is 80
necessary for the restoration Of the
exhausted forces of the Mexican
organism, whose blood has been
weakened by ten years of war.
Obregon's Policy
The program Of Mexico's future
President may be condensed into
three basic points, which are dia-
metrically opposite to those which
formed th@ basis of Carranza's pol
icy: Cancellation with the interior
elements, good relations with all

that there was necessity FOR the pur-
chase of the property. as the city
probably would give the Ford lot to
