WASHINGTON, May 3. Licentiate fis
tevan Bulz has been appointed minister
of foreign affairs In the Huerta cabinet of
succeed Portlllo y Kojas, retired. The
Spanish ambassador hero was officially
Informed of the appointment by cable
this morning. He Is communicating the
new appointment to the mediators.
HUli, the new foreign minister, was un
der secretary of Fortlllo y Rojas.
He has assisted In the mediation nego
tiations and It Is authoritatively stated
that the change will not affect the con
tinued progress of the mediation plans.
Ruiz had been referred to as probable
Huerta commissioner In case the media
tors proposed a commission representing
oil parties to the controversy.
The, Spanish ambassador, Mr. niano,
carried the cable announcement at Ruiz's
appointment to the Argentine legation.
Tile mediators were at once called to
gether and a conference began with the
Spanish ambassador taking part.
Will Not Affect Negotiations.
The mediators stated that the retire
ment of Portlllo would in no way affect
the negotiations. It was pointed out t.iat
the acceptance of the Huerto ar.vcrn
ment, both of good offices and of tho'
armistice, was In complete fo.w, so that;
tho retirement of the ministry was con
strued by the mediators as bolng merely ,
the change of one man and no: cf great
significance on the main Issues of medi
ation. Outside the mediation conference
the tearing of the Ruiz appointment
caused widespread speculation. The fact
that he had .been mentioned as a prov
able Huerta commissioner in case the
mediators proposed a commln'on 'o nt
tle the entire trouble, led to thu nellef
that Ruiz would pursue the sauu friendly
policy shown in the negotiation up to
this time. But in some nur.crj it was
felt that Huerta himself wad directing"
affairs with a stress hand, and that
Ruiz was more amenable '.o Huerta'a di
rection than Portlllo y Rojas had , been.
In. Line for Presidency.
It was pointed out that, according to
tho Mexican constitution, the minister' of
foreign affairs succeeds to I In pie:
dency In caso of the president retire
ment whenhere Is no vice president as
Is tho case now In Mexico. Hence Por
tlllo was next In line for the presidency
and Ruiz Is now In that position.
Senor Ruiz has been In tin Mexican
government service In various capacities
for many years, but has never affiliated
himself with any particular ta,K-,n. IKs
position has been analogous to that cf
an assistant secretary In our State de
partment. German Woman Killed by Moll,

CHIHUAHUA, Mex., May l.-CVla El
Paso, May 2.) Reports of the evacuation
of Salti)lo are premature, It Is officially
stated here. The rebels expect an Im
portant battle before the city Is taken,
and for this purpose forces are now n
motion from Monterey and Torreon.
A review of the troops, headed by Car
ranza and Villa, was held today and to
night. The two leaders, members of tho
cabinet and the military staffs ami a
number of lesser officials participated In
a love feast at the gubernatorial palace
As tho troops were passing the Foreign
club General Carranza espied an Ameri
can newspaper man among the spectators.
He halted the procession while he turned
aside to shake the foreigner's hand. The
net was plainly Intended to make evident
to Mexican onlookers that the official at
titude toward Americans is. friendly. In
fact, every Mexican understands that
anti-foreign agitation or demonstration
means death to the offender.
Whon Carranza leaves here It Is un
derstood that the constitutionalist capi
tal moves with him, first to Torreon, and
then, with Ilttlo delay, to Monterey. Prom
the latter city ho will direct tho cam
paigns against Tampico, Saltlllo and, after
that, against San Luis Potosl, Zacatocas
and Aguas Callcntes. The rebel-American
phase of the occupation of Vera Cruz,
which for a tlmo after tho Issuance of
Carranza's note to Secretary Bryan
looked grave, Is considered closed. Gen
eral Carranza assumes and Is believed
to have official reason for so doing, that
tho Americans will leave Mexican soil Im
mediately upon complete triumph of the
revolution.
