PREPARING FQR . END OF HUERTA'S REIGON Washington So Interprets Rushing of Fleet to Mexico. Like Boxer llovolu tion. Washington, April 18.-Nearly every body in'"Washington is /atisfled that the movement of the Atlntic fleet to Mexico, on rush orders issued within a short time after the arrival of John fond, is significant more of the ap aroach of the blow-up of the iluerta government than of the necessity of dealing with any detached incident such as the trouble over the marines at Tampico. It is observed that Mr. Lind had left Vera Cruz for Washington before learning of the action which heal Ad miral Mayo had taken in demanding a talute for the flag. Thus it would ap )ear that there was something which required "a demonst ration in force" aside from the aggravatlng hut coml 'naraltively small incident at Tampico. This is not to say, however, that such an alflhir as the arrest of the ma riues :, to be laughed at, because it is just esch things that form the apex to the >yramid of suevessive affronts consti 'nting in the aggregate the cause o' war. The apex is the smallest part of a pyralid , but it colmplt('s the ftructure. A not Ibc' "Boxer" S it at Ion. The prevalent view among those who discuss the M exicaa question in the c'orridors of Ihe capitol is that we are 'onfronted' in Mexico with the pros ')ect of an Aluericanl parallel to the Poxer revolution in China, when the 'Ipress Dowager played lluerta at Peking and the foreign residents were aved only by the dispatch of an in ternational force of marines and sol 'iers to the anclent and somewhat in accessible capital of 'athay. The dif ference is that in this case the re sponsibility of protecting foreign lives, rights and property rests upon the United States, whereas In the Chinese crisis the F uropean nations and Japan had most of the burden. Iluerta is constantly losing ground to the relentless Villa, and the 'last card the old desperado can play, if his case becomes otherwise hopeless, is that of provoking hostilities with Uncle cram. Many believe that Hluerta is likely to play that card within the next few weeks. It will be very trou blesome for this government. Nobody doubts the ability of our warriors to do whatever work may be necessary, but there is about as much attractive ness in the job as there is in cleaning out a stable. Hercules does such duty it he has to, but he doesn't pretend to -enjoy It. From the point of view of politics, which considers only the probable ef fect of developments upon the next election, the most. painfully apprehen sive folk in Washington are those Re publicans who see their canal tolls is S sue gone glimmering if we get into actual fighting with Mexico.
