Y GENERAL BLANQUET
Mexican despot victim of same treatment given
Tladerio Huerta may be executed by mutinous
soldiers foreigners held at Cordoba and -Gauralajara
released by order of Blanquet
WILSON WILL DEAL WITH LEADERS
(International News Service)
Mexico City, April 29. It is reported on good authority that
President Hucrta has broken with General Blanquet and that an
army revolt which will result in the overthrow of Huerta is im
sa men t. 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
aad the soldiers are sullen. There are rumors of revolt on every
hand.
Two hundred and forty-six Americans left for the coast at ten
o'clock last night. The cars were crowded with Americans. At mid
Bight 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
trs&ted 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 Huerta, using the American forces to aid thm if necessary.
The Navy department plans to keep the present civil government
in" effect at Vera Cruz for six months at least. Similar govern
ments will be established in other cities captured by the American
f frees.
Consul Canada at Vera Cruz 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
raz. Blanquet is also willing to comply with all requests for the
release of foreigners.
