it became known today led to tho ar
rest of Huerta and Oroxco at Kl
Piso Sunday and f orin s ground for
the strict surveillance of Felix 1)1:?,
Blanquet and other prominent' Mexi
cans in thc United States.
T.ie government's intention to pros-,
ecute vigorously violation? of the neu
trality laws was reveahsl'jiodry after
a conference between Secretary Lans
ing and Assistant Attorney General
Warren.
Four different groups: apart from
Villa and Carranza supporters in

in thc Mexican situation, according to

the neutrality laws of t'.e United
States by attempting to start' an
armed expedition has forced abandon
ment of government officials bel lof
of any movement to lauuch a now

With Huerta and. Orozco at liberty

Wellington. June 28.-Details of
the arrest of Generals Huerta and
Orozco at El Paso last night were re
ceived here today by the department
of Justice. It ts not disclosed what
evidence has been gathered against
the two Mexican generals but it ls
understood that it relates mostly to
alleged reception of Mexicans in the
United States.
t Roth Villa and Carranza agents
here interpreted the Huerta detention
as meaning the United States is un
willing that Huerta should complicate
the Mexican situation by a re-entry
into Mexico.
Until President Wilson returns
froro Cornish, N. H., it is unlikely
thefe will bo an; new steps in the
Unite-] States policy toward Mexico.
In fact, while there stitt ^emains a
delicate situation with Germany it is
reliably stated that posttlVf action by
the United States' In the Mexican sit
uation ls very likely.

tails of tho plot to restore thc Huerta
