PUERTO. Mexico. July lS.-Bx-Presl-dent
Huerta nnd his party may bo de
layed for several days In their depart
ure from Mexico. A mcesago lecelved
late tonight from President Carbajal re
fused the use of tho Mexican gunboats
for that purpose. Tho message ex
plained that It was not deemed wise at
this time that the Mexican warships
should be used for such a purpose, but
stated that the government would pay
for tho use of any vessel that Huerta
might charter.
Most of the members of tho party showed
much disappointment, because they could
not get out of hero Immediately. Espe
claly did the young wonpn display dls
satisfaction. For most of them the' trip
abroad means the pleasures of European
cities and they desire to hurry affairs.
Visits (icrninn Captain,
Huerta made a call late In the after
noon on the captain of tho German
cruiser, Dresden. A small crowd gath
ered to watch him alight from the train
and go aboard tho cruiser lying a short
distance out, but when the stubby old
man In plain clothes, accompanied by
General Blanquet In full 'uniform and
threo members of his staff, walked to
the landing, where the Dresden launch
was waiting, there was no evldeneeof
emotion other than curiosity.
Some one lifted up his voice In a thin
"viva," but tho answorlng call was thin
ner still. The spectators were the idle
element and they were there to see nnd
nothing more.
liucrta went over the side with the
requisite number of sailors at the rail,
but there was no salute. Anything re
sombllng formality In connection with his
visit was lacking.
General Hernadez, who lias bcon gover
nor of- Puobla4ariiudi.hcrev lata, today
on a special train. General Tamon
Corona,, an active supporter of Huerta,
tsnd several other officers are expocted
to reach hero before the ex-presldtnt de
parts. It has virtually been decided that
Huerta and Blanquet will go to Jamaica,
on tho Dresden, but it is equally cer
tain that the British cruiser Bristol will
carry no passengers.
It is suggested here that tho fact
that the Bristol received the refugees
aboard, and later landed them, may have
been due to some diplomatic development
of which all profesa ignorance. The only
thing apparently known aboard the
Bristol la that" there aro no sailing
orders."
Discusses Mexico.
General Huerta chatted freely with Cap
tain ivohler regarding Mexico. He said
th time would come, he hoped, when
Mexico would hold Its placo among tho
other nations and be entitled to tho
respect of all,
"It is civilization my country needs,"
he said, "that is a matter of schools. We
are getting them and we must have more.
Civilization and education are largely the
same thing and Mexico is woefully lack
ing In education."
Captain Fanshaw of the Bristol paid
his respects to the ex-presldent in the
morning as did also the commander of"
tho Dresden. Until late in the afternoon
General Huerta had not called upon or
seen his wife or the other women mem
bers of his family. Not had General
Blanquet seen Senora Blanquet. notwith
standing tho fact that only the customs
warehouses separated tho two special
trains.
Senora Huerta and the other women who
hud been on the Bristol wcro transferred
to the Mexican gunboat Zaragoza at noon.
They then had come ashore and had
lunch In one of the coaches in tho train.
In tho evening they visited tho Dresden.

the stay of the women here Is becoming
almost Intolerable. In contrast, the soldiers
accustomed to campaigning seem to be
enjoying themselves. They and their

The Conimialonr.rhliit.
With tho payment of filing fees by
Commissioners McDonald and Harte, all
tho present county commissioners except
Frank Best had filed or attempted to
file, although It was generally understood
I that only tho terms of Commissioners
John C. Lynch and Thomas O'Connor
j had expired. The mls-up wa due to tho

According to a recent supicmo court
decision Commissioners Best and Harto
still hava a year to servo. However, tho
supreme court's decision states that three
commissioners In Douglas county must
run for office this year. Commissioner
McDonald filed.
The fact that MoDonald'a filing was
accepted, however, Indicates that the
election commissioner believes his term
will expire with this year. Commissioner
Harto's tender of a filing fee Is regarded
merely as a precaution on his part, taken
at the last minute after consulting a
lawyer.

A number of candidates were filed by
petitions of their friends. Among these
petitions were two "oturduy filed while
the candidates were out of the city.
Samuel G. Hoff, a. republican member of
the last legislature, Is now In California,
so his friends filed for him. The sanio
action was taken for Jmneb Walsh,

who Is now In Minnesota
When refused permission to lie 011 both
the republican and democratic tickets as
candidate for tho nomination for Justlco
of the peace, Justice H. H. Clulhorno
withdrew his papers as a, democrat, filed
by his friends on petition, and entered
his own sworn filing as a republican. The
matter had been referred to the county
attorney for an interpretation of tho
statutes Involved, and he declared 1 that
the laws could not be stretched to allow
candidates to run as both democratlo and
republican, although one might run us

and people's Independent

Another late filing was that made by
V. M. Haverley, now chief cleric In tho
county clerk's office. At the last mlnuto!

Just before It was too late, and changed
Ms filing to that for the republican county

Tho commission prepared a revision of
tho presont law, which eliminates red
tape in tho administration of school af

tribution of state apportionment ot school
funds. It goes on record for a non-partisan
selection of county suporlntondents,
more comprehensive consolidated school

posit funds In hands of district treas

Two constitutional amendments were
proposed. The first removes the stato

of Doctors Luckoy, Howard, Wolfe and
Caldwell of tho stato university to pro

amendment would make It Impossible for
any further sale of state school land.
The commission proposed that any wa

shall be subject to a charge of 6 per cent
of the gross receipts of water plants,
suld funds to bo paid Into the stnte
school fund. It has been shown that
when the water power of the stato Is

stories of Witnesses and relatives. Tho
outcome was that tho police now believe
that thero aro no other persons connected

coroner's morgue.
Gcorgu Scllx, 2231 Pierce, whose homo Is
nearest tho sccno of tho shooting, has
always maintained that tho three men
