MEXICO CITY, Oct 19. Provisional
President Hucrta has not resigned, nor .
haB he fled from tho capital. When seen
at the national palace at 6 o'clock this
aiternoon no saia ne naa no imcmiuu
of doing eltlier,
'When 1 resign," General Huerta said,
"It will be to seek a resting place six
feet In tho soil. When 1 flee the capi
tal It will be to shoulder a rifle and take
my place In the rankB to fight the rebels."
This was President Huerta's answer to
queries as to whether there was any
foundation for the reports which have
been freely circulated In tho capital and
found their way to the United State.
General Huerta looked the picture of
health and energy. Attired in a new sack
milt, he greeted the Associated Press cor
respondent with extreme cordiality,
motioned him to a seat, aBkcd for a
cigarette and listened to the explanation
of the mo(lve for the visit.
Doesn't Intend to liealKn.
"So It Is reported that l have fled," ho
sa'.d. "You can see for yourself that I
am here at my post. To say that I have
resigned or Intend to resign Is a false
hood. I havo no Intention of resigning.
"Should tho elections, which will be held
as I havo promised, Indicate another for
tho presidency, I Bhall step-aside. Until
thut time you will find me here comply
ing wjth my promises to the nation, which
nre to re-establish peace, within the law
It possible, but to re-establish peace."
President Huerta Interspersed Ills talk
with ancedotes Illustrative of his polntB.
"Another thing," the president said, "t
have money for my requlrcmenti!, Don't
think that I have not. Where did I get
Itf My secretl" topping his chest with
a satisfied smile. 'tqutJ havo It"
. On-'thoqueBtlon jot Picitltlorho s
eerted that beforo the end othe montu
tho government would havd. retaken Tor
reon and made headway towards tho
pacification of tho state of Duraruro. "t
have 8,000 men at Hlpollto." the president
said, "moving on Torreon and 2,000 more
are proceeding north from Zucatccas."
In reply to a suggestion that further
rumors were afloat to the effect that, n
troop train proceeding to Tortoon, had
been blown up, he. exclaimed:
"More Lie."
"More lies! Nothing of the kind has
occurred."
"It has been said that all Americans
have been ordered to leave the capital."
In response, General Huerta. made a
gesture of disgust.
"What nonsense." he replied. "As I
have repeatedly sa'.d since I came to tho
residency, foreigners, from Hottentots
to the most enlightened, have received,
and will continue to receive, every guar
antee Mexicans likewise who obey the
law have nothing to fear from me.
Transgressors myst watch out. They
8hall be 'punished tllrough evry means
the law affords."
General Huerta Is working from fifteen
to eighteen hours dally, sleeping at odd
lanes when fatigue overtakes "him. He
onts various ruses to escape irom we
'scores striving to reach him with per-
Bcthol affairs. He slips out or unusea
entrances and takes round-about routes
to hide his -vhereabouts. Colonel Carlos
Aguila, his son-in-law. who Is with hlrn
nimnti continuously, sought him in a
half dozen haunts beforo locating him in

WASHINGTON, Oct 19. Throughout
the day officials heard various reports
and rumors that Provisional President
Huctta of Mexico had resigned, or In
tended to do so; that he had secretly left
the capital and that General Blanquet
would succeed him. The State depart
ment received so many Inquiries' that it
cabled Charge O'Shaughnessy for Infor
mation. The receipts of the positive statement
from Mexico City that President Huerta
did not Intend to resign somewhat clarl.

(From a Staff Correspondent)
LINCOLN, Oct. 19. (BpectaM-Although
fifty patriotic citizens of the capital city
of Nebraska offered themnelvcs last
spring at the city primaries to be chosen
to help draw up a new charter under
the commission form adopted by tho peo
ple, but fifteen ot them could bo suc
cessful. At last the charter has been completed
and It abounds with bo many different
Ideas that It looks as If It was going
to find hard sledding when It meets the
people face to face at the lection to bo
called to adopt or reject It
A peculiarity of the new draft is that
It has brought the university removal
proposition Into the fight. It will be re
membered that when the proposition of
university removal was before the legis
lature that some or the business men of
ICttnHlYlnrtBrthe unlytrsUr, an
wiwcwn msny a upuar'Dy .reason or
the fact that they live close Enough to
tha Institution to gobble molt of the
dollars 'that the students have to spend,
rnade a proposition to put up a bond
to guarantee the legislature that the pro.
posed additional six blocks of ground on
which they desired tho extension ot tho
university, should not cost tho state over
a certain amount of money.
Provides Hpeelnl Levi.
House roll 152, Introduced by Represen
tative Jeary of Lincoln, for the special
purpose ot amending the then charter of
the olty, provides for a special levy of
"not to exceed tlve miles for the pur
pose of purchasing, holding and Improv
ing public grounds and parks, park ex
tensions and Improvements and univer
sity campus extension."
The proposed charter In paragraph 6t
of article five, provides for the raising
of 0.000 for university extension. This
Is what Is raising the trouble In the city
and causing taxpayers, who will not be
benefitted by the location of the un
versty down town to howl.
The bill Introduced by Mr, Jeary calls
for a S per cent levy for park exten
sions as well as university extenslon.'Tiie
new charter proposes ' to - let the parks
(ike care of themselves and put $00,000,
one-ninth of all the money that can be
raised for all purposes, 1100,000, Into tho
scheme to keep the university down town
where the big storts can receive all tho
benefits.
