Constitutionalists, diplo and of ficials of 'the United States were elat ed over General Huerta's voluntary ' withdrawal and predicted an era of peace in his country. Although thc constitutionalists have dfclared they would not recognize Francisco Carhajal an provisional president, and tho United States gov ernment likew.iso will refuse to recog nise him, thc understanding hero is that the new exocutlvc will hold ofilce only until arrangements can he made for the entry of Goneral Carranza, the constitutionalist chief.

Wlth'tbtt^'b^talhea, the peaceful entry into tue Mexican'capital of const!tu-' t lon Al lats troops will be negotiated. General Huerta's retirement came just as the constitutionalists were preparing their formal note declining participation tn Informal conferences with Huerta delegater to dl3cusB in ternal Mexican questions. Hope? were raised today that now negotiations might be begun however, between representatives of Carranza and Carhajal -for the speedy transfer of power to the constitutionalists. It is virtually certain that tho Huerta representatives at Niagara Falls will be designated by Carbajara to look after his Interests in this country. The mediators will make another ef fort to bring the factions into confer ence is considered as" likely. Carranzu Would Profit. Goneral Carranza, the mediators be lieve, would profit greatly by entering Into such conferences. He thus mlg|it guarantee himself Immediate recog nition by the United States nnd Ar gentina, Brazil and Chile. Uudcr term of the protocols signed at Niag ara Falls, the United States promised to recognize any government set up by an agreement between Mexican factions without waiting for an elec tion. Should j Carranza refuse to' parley with the Carhajal government and in sist upon taking Mox leo City by forro, setting up'a military government, re cognition in all llkllkood would be de ferred until after an election. . Constitutionalists here are renew ing their efforts to persuade Carranza to enter conferences with Garbajal, ' Who many dlplr Mn here think would ! accept the plat .

'? 1 Long Sought For. t .Washington, July 15.-Huerta's re signation marks :' tho : culmination of c more than a year's effort hy the United i States to force hts' retirement John r Lind was sent to Mexico last summer 1 ID an effort lo bring about tho dicta- 1 ilDENT OF D BY THE RTA FLEES tor'F withdrawal. President Wilson later went to congress and revealed the terms on which Huerta bad been asked to retire. An embargo of urma was placed on both Mexican factions and Hie Washington government then began Its policy of cutting off finan cial aid for the Huerta government, not only from the United States but from Europe. ' Huerta's resources slowly diminish ed under Vi's prkessure. The consti tutionalists, aided by the moral sup port of tho 'American government,. pushed their military campaign to within striking distance of the capital city. F.oalizlng a military conquest of Mexico City was inevitable, Huerta1 finally yielded. Will Soon End. With Huerta's retirement thc con stitutionalists feel their revolution virtually has triumphed. They turn-. ed ngainst Mm the moment he over-j threw Mad-iro. constitutionalist pres ident of Mexico, in February. 1813, and have waged their war with un relenting vigor ever since. The prospects of an early solution of the Mexican problem gave both President Wilson and Secretary Bry an much joy tonight. American forces will not be withdrawn from Vera] Cruz until a stable government has been established in Mexico City and recognition hnr been accorded lt. The j feeling is general, however, that if Carranza gives guarantee to political : offenders aa well as the people goner-? ally, recognition will, be extended promptly by the Uultcd Statc-B and other nations of Central and South America, as well as Europe. Incidentally Huerta's resignation now places Europe on an equal foot ing with the United States with- re spect to. the authorities fi at Mexico Cityi. fi The; powers of Europe had re cognized Hu?rta, but because of the pronounced attitude of the United State:?, they are expected to follow the lead of the American government be fore extending recognition to Carba jal or his successor. Salazar, one of the highest generals in the array denounced Huerta. Car ranza, constitutionalist leader in Chi huahua, assailed him in a bitter state ment made public at San Antonio. Francisco Villa announced himself an adherent of Madero and joined the ranks of the northern army. Pascual Orozco, of the clan of the northern revolutionaries, was'the lone notable figure among the disaffected who de clared for the new government. President Taft, nearing the end of his term, left to his succc3sor the problem of adjusting diplomatic re lations with Mexico. To Woodrow Wilson, Huerta sent felicitations on the day of the American president's inauguration. Hampered at the outset of his ad ministration by the refusal of the United States to recognize him, Hu erta soon faced growing difficulties in raising fundB to run his government. His uneasy hold upon affairs was weakened by minor constitutionalist victories in the north and by recur ring rumors of a break with Fells Dluz, nephew ot Porforio Diaz, and Huerta's olly in the overthrow of Madero. Huerta Gets Busy. On May 1, Huerta announced he would urge congress to call elections in October to choose his successor. The eon gre h J selected October 26 as the date of the election and a decree Lo that effect was Issued by Huerta an June 3, ...... Felix Diaz, who ' had announced himself as a candidate for the presi dency, was sent to Japan on July 17. Henry Lane Wilson, the American ambassador, waa recalled to Washing ton and Nelson O'Shaughnessy, charge 1'affalreB, was left In charge of the \merican Interests in Mexico. ? Early in. August it became known that President Wilson Intended - to tend John Lind to Mexico as his per sonal representative, in an endeavor to arrange a basis for peace. Huerta announced.he would not olorqte Interference. Nevertheless,Mr. Lind delivered- his tote from President Wilson. Huerta rejected all - proposals- made by tho American government, chief ot which wore the suggestions that he resign ind that be not be a candidate on elec lon day. Relations between Mexico ind the United .States became acute. President Wilson proclaimed his poll :y in an address before congress to which was attached correspondence ictwecn Mr. Lind and the Huerta ad* ninia tratlcm. Huerta was attacked- In the Mexican tenate on October 6, by Senator Do nlngues, who* spoke what was fa the binds ot himself"and some of his col c agues. Domlngues disappeared. Ene chamber bf deputies adopted i a ; : . . .. :- - -, MEXICO PEOPLE TO COAST resolution calling for an investiga tion. Deputies Imprisoned. ^o this Huerta's reply wu? drama tic and swift. He marched a column of troops to the chamber of deputies and threw 110 deputies into prison. Next he dissolved congress and took unto himself the legislative authority, calling for an election of new mem bers on October 5. Through Mr. O'Shaugbnessy the United States made representations of violence to the de puties. When lt became known that the elections had resulted In no choice because of the failure of the voters to go to the polls the American gov ernment pre-emptorily called on Hu erta to resign. In a statement to the diplomatic corps on November 9 he announced he would declare the re sult of the election null- and order another election. On November 12 Huerta refused to accede to the American demand for his resignation and John Lind left Mexico Sity for Vera Cruz. Meantime the United States, des patched warships to the Mexican coast and Americans continued to leave Mexico. Definite proposals were made by the United States to Carranza and his adherents. fi Several of the European powers, no table Great Britain, Germany and France, supported the policy of the United States. The constitutionalists continued their advance to the south. They captured several cities. Situation Critical. The situation became so critical that Greeat Britain, Germany, France, Spain and Japan .ordered warships to Mexican waters. " Fighting continued at Tampico and many other centers and the constitu tionalists took Torreen. An embargo placed on the expor tation of arms from the United States to Mexico was raised early in Feb ruary last. American troops were placed on the border and the American fleet in Mexican waters was strengthened. The constitutionalists captured Monterey.' Then came the departure of John Und from Vera Cruz and the arrest of a party of American bluejackets at Tampico, for which an apology and salute were demanded by the United Stated, and refused by Huerta. On April 21 bluejackets and ma rines were landed and occupied Vera Cruz in consequence pt the reported arrival of a large ' consignment of arms and ammunition for Huerta. A number of Americans were killed in the street fighting. The Mexicans retired and destroyed a portion of the railway. Shortly afterward a mediation pro posal received from Argentine, Brazil and Chile was accepted and a consul tation ensued at Nulgara Falls. In the interval American troops re lieved the bluejackets at Vera Cruz ind since have remained In occupa tion of the port. - Tampico and Zacatecas fell into the sands of the constitutionalist and the victor loua 'armies continued their March on Mexico City, where rumors have been 'a circulation for. many ?reeks of the approaching resignation yt Huerta. . i Huerta Leaves.
