Victorlano Huerta as Provisional President of Mexiao soon would be an accomplish ed fast. < That tha financial blockade insti tuted by the United States had tied the parse strings of Europe, that diplomatic pressure was being exert- bd incessantly on all sides at Mexico City, that close friends of Huerta were applying tbefr Influence and persistent reports saying Huerta had gone Into mysterious seclusion raised the hopes of the Washington govern ment that at last It was making defi nite progress toward solving the Mex ican problem. An exchange of cablegrams with Ambassador Page, an agreement by Crest Britain to leave the solution of the Mexican problem In the hands of the United States, and an announce >i;er.t that no moral or fluam .al sup- | port would be granted by England to the Huerta regime, set forth tn Ix>n don preaa dispatches, created a favor able Impression throughout official sshlngton It was felt that Great Britain.

Lat- «f, however. It was learned from oth er high officials that the plan of taanci&l Isolation was bearing fruit Olid that the plan for Huerta's eleml nation was being acquiesced In by Mrelgn governments, especially some of those which had previously recog nized him and upon whom he had come to rely for aid. One of the Important factors in the fl^tt|gtion, which caused Washington calmly to await developments, was the report through authoritative Janneli that members of thelj.uerta :lal family were divl lee. gome of t im'urging his resignation to avoid ernatlonal complications. They S re reported to be using ^v^ry ef- t to prevail upon him ro make a formal announcement of retirement ot a fixed date. The situation has Progressed to the point, In the view of many officials, where even a defi nite rejection of the American de mands by Huerta would not alter his future materially. Confidence pre vails that he Is drifting into certain bankruptcy and can not resist much longer the pressure exerted against him. Another Influence that Is expected k to contribute to Haorta's overthrow the extension of moral support to the Constitutionalists.

Hoxe Members of President Huerta’s of ficial family are working diligently for the reopening of the negotiations and claim to have the consent of Gen. Huerta to make concessions which they believe will be satisfactory to the United States. The Mexican min ister of the interior, Manuel Garza Aldape, saw Nelson O’Shaughnessy, the American charge d’affaires, late Thursday and appealed to him to do all in his power to Induce his gov ernment to withhold action until the Mexican officials could communicate with Mr. Lind, now at Vera Cruz. He based his appeal on the allegation that they were unable to get in touch with Gen. Huferta in order to present to him Mr. Lind’s communication. The American charge could give the minister little assurance. Senor Al- dape asked if Mr. Lind could b eper- ■uaded to return to the Capital, or, failing that, if a representative of the government might ^iot go to Vern Crus nnd confer with Mr. Lind.

The ac cident took place between 7 and 8 o’clock In the morning and death followed from the shock at 3 o’clock in the afternoon. Mrs. Whooton had poured some oil on the wood, which failed to catch, and thinking the flame had died out, she poured more oil on the wood. The blaze flared upon as she did do, following the oil into the can, which exploded, spilling oil and fire all over her clothing, which immediately blazed up, burn ing every particle of clothing off her and burning the skin off every part of her body except the top of her head and the sole of her feet. Her husband tried to save her, but hit ef forts were unsuccessful, as they came too late. She was btdly burned about the hands and wrists, but hts burns were not considered serious, although they ware extremely pain ful.
