SAYS INVASION IS A CRIME
En Route to United States, He Criti
cises President Wilson's Policy
and Shakes Fist at Flag.
Vara Cruz, Mexico.-Querido Mo
heno, former Mexican Minister 01
Commerce and Labor, before depart

ly criticised the policy of the United
States towards Mexico. As he sat in
the forward saloon of the French
Liner, Senor Moheno looked through
a, porthole toward the American flag
aying in Vera Cruz and shook his
ast in rage.
He insisted that he was in a posi
tion to produce proofs that there ex
sted a "secret platform" of the Pro
gressive party in the United States,
f which Colonel Theodore Roosevelt
was cognizant and in which he con
yurred, looking to the disruption of
qexico and the -acquisition ultimately
>y the United States of all the terri
:ory between the Rio Grande and
?anama.
He said that Francisco Escucisco,
who was Minister of Foreign Rela
Ions in Carranza's Cabinet,- has let
er which to him are conclusive evi
lence of his allegations, and declar
?d he hoped to be able to produce
;hese letters at the proper time.
"And not only were the leaders of
he Progressive party pledged to this
policy," he added," but politicians of
>oth the Republican and: Democratic
iarties had promised their secret sup
ort. That President Wilson himself
iad subscribed to this iniquitous cor
lespondence as evidenced by his atti
:ude toward Mexico. Not a single
American in all the hundred million
opulation of the United States can
give satisfactory answer as to why
:hose - troops are on shore in Vera
.,ruz."
"To ,show President Wilson's crime
Lgainst Mexico-the greatest in the
iistory of modern nations," is the an
nounced object of Senor Moheno's
rip to the. United States by way of
nuba. He arrived here on the Es
pange from P&tc Mexico and said
2e would not go ashpre.
Moleno saidd'iiejd, while in the

an people of the enormity of the
'crime comamitted not only by Presi

CARBAIL SLTED
TO RULE MEXICO
HUERTA WILL RESIGN AND HIS
SUCCESSOR WILL BE
SEATED.
NOT PLEASING TO REBELS
Carranza Will Not Stop Fighting Be
cause Another Leader Takes the
Place of His Present Enemy.
Washington.-Events In Mexico are
shaping themselves for a termination
of the civil strife that has kept that
country In a turmoil and threatened
at one time to provoke war with the
United States. General Huerta against
whom the Constitutionalists have
waged incessant warfare since he
overthrew Presidpnt Madero 18
months ago, has given up the struggle
at last.
Weakened by the struggle of the
United States to recognize his Gov
ernment and cut off from financial
support in Europe, he realizes the
big Constitutionalist army, augmented
daily as it presses southward, Is at
the threshold of the Mexican capital.
Fearful that an Invading army may
commit excesses -which would endang
er the lives of an Innocent population
and destroy property,-persons influen
tial with the man who has dictated
affairs in Mexico' City at own whim
have persuaded him to abandon his
hopeless position.
Comprehensive messages to Wash
!ngton diplomats from legations and
consulates in Mexico City thus de
scribe the situation.
Within a few days General Huerta
is expected to resign in favor of his
newly appointed Minister of Foreign
Affairs, Francisco Carbajal, until re
cently chief justice of the Supreme
Court of Mexico. Difficulties between
the United States and the Huerta Gov
ernment were composed at Niagara
Falls Huerta would leave the internal
problem to be settled by his successor.
Carbajal, it is expected, would
bring the gap from the Huerta regime
to a new provisional administration
controlled by the Constitationalists.
He has not been active In politics
and is anxious for peace.

New York.-That .the name of Fran

of foreign affairs, was proposed at the
Niagara Falls mediation conference
of provisional president of Mexico was
confirmed here by Emiliano Rabasa
and Augustin Rodriguez, the Huerta
delegates. They declared Carbajal's
name was first submitted to the con

and accepted by the Mexican delega
