WILSON WILL DEAL WITH LEADERS
(International News Service)
Mexico City, April 29. It is reported on good authority that
President Huerta has broken with General Blanquet and that an
army revolt which will result in the overthrow of Huerta is im
minent. It is reported that Huerta 's lieutenants are securing trains
for his use in case he decides to flee the country. There is an om
inous calm here today. There are no demonstrations on the streets
and the soldiers are sullen. There are rumors of revolt on every
a and.
Two hundred and forty-six Americans left for the coast at ten
o'clock last night. The cars were crowded with Americans. At mid
ight a warning was issued to Americans that it was their last chance
to get away. On account of the fact that the railroad is torn up the
, destination of the trains is Coatzacoalcos instead of Vera Cruz..
Washington, April 29. A high naval officer, close to the admin
istration, reports that the president will never recognize Huerta but
that he wants peace. If mediation fails Wilson will demand that
Raerta, Carranza, Villa, Zapata and other Mexican leaders all be
treated on the same plane. Of course Huerta will refuse, then Wil
son plans to ignore Huerta and deal with the others as true repre
sentatives of the Mexican people and will ask these leaders to re
wove nuerta, using the American forces to aid thm if necessary.
The Navy department plans to keep the present civil government
ia effect at Vera Cruz for six months at least. Similar govern
ments will be established in other cities captured by the American
farces.
Consul Canada at Vera Crua reports that General Blanquet at
Mexico City has ordered all persons held by Mexican troops at Cor
doba and Guaralajara be released and that they be sent to Vera
rax. Blanquet is also willing to comply with all requests for the
release of foreigners.
Bulletin, 4 p.m.
Vera Cruz. A detachment of blue jackets left this afternoon
aboard a train carrying supplies to repair the railroad from this city
to Mexico City. They will try and obtain the co-operation of the
federals in the work.
Washington. The South American envoys have asked this gov
erament and Huerta for an armsitice as the next step in mediation

The times have changed since the

is known as a staff correspondent.
America's greatest "pull man" is
a "special correspondent", (that is,

it failed to do so, this la known

wires his "copy" to his paper in ad
