last ten days.

tonic at this time" Mrs. De la Huerta
said, lis to place my two sons in an
American school. | shall probably
place them in ST. Edwards College at
Austin in order that they may con-
tinue the courses which they studied
in the American College in the City
of Mexico. After placing my sons in
school l shall remain in San Antonio

II like San Antonio and I enjoy

the day she departed from San An
tonic her husband is reported to have
sailed on the gunboat Zaragoza from
Frontera, Tabasco. From there he is
reported to have sailed to Progrcso.
Yucatan. All trace of him has since
been lost. OF the many cvnriicung
rumors that were current in Mexican
circles here Saturday, one was that he
had landed at Key West or on the
Florida coast; another that lie had
landed in Galveston and that he was
either on his way 10 San Antonio or
J to New York to finance his revolll-

Cuba March 10.
In keeping with her attitude on the
occasion of her visit to San Antonio

evinced reluctance to discuss either
her husband orshis activities. She said
that she had heard from his two days
ago through a radiogram from him.
She declined to divulge the contents
OF the radiogram or TO admit that its
receipt was responsible for her deci-
sion to return from San Antonio.
RumOrs Are Persistent.

mors that he had landed in Galveston,
Tuesday from the Snyde, ,>s.e,
Truckston, and that he had gone to
New York to raise funds of the revo- |
luton, persisted late Saturday night
although they were uncOnfirmed. Early
In the afternoon, Saturday, il was re-
ported that he had left Galveston
"Wednesday evening OH the Southern
Pacific for San Antonio to meet his
wife here.
In face of these unconfirmed and
conflicting rumors the ten-day mystery
as to the whereabouts or activities
of DE Ia Huerta has not been cleared.
1t is not doubted here but that Mrs.
De la Huerta and those high in the
revolutionary circles in this country.
are cognlzant of the real facts behind
the mystery. 1t would be TO the adj

movements under a camouflage of
