HUERTA READY
TO FLEE MEXICO
Rtimor Reaches American Lines That
Dictator Is On Point of Departure
—Has Money in Europe.
VERA CRUZ, May 16.—It is re
ported here today on good authority
that General Huerta is preparing to
flee from Mexico. General Funston
refuses to say whether or not the
American authorities have any in
formation ’tending to confirm the
rumor.
WASHINGTON, May 16.—While
reports hare been current for sev
eral months that Huerta was prepar
ing to flee from Mexico, such reports
have been received here reecntly on
the basis of information regarded as
reliable. The advices along this line
indicate that the Mexican dictator
actually is at the end of his string
and feels that it is useless for him
to attempt ’ to remain in power any
longer.
It is asserted that he has been
surreptitiously sending money to Par
is. following the other Latin-American
political celebrities, and that he has
already accumulated several millions
there—$3,000,000 is the sum most
frequently named—a tidy nest egg for
the rainy day that the clouds over
hanging his administration have
threatened for a long time.
According to those who profess to
know Huerta has arranged to make
his way to the Pacific Coast port,
probably to Acapulco, which is con
nected with Mexico City by the na
tional railroad, and there take pass
age on a steamship for Japan, where
he believes he would receive a royal
welcome. He would encounter dan
gers en route, but the way would
not be beset with such perils as seem
apparent, for he easily could prevent
telegraphic information of his flight
from preceding him.
Huerta’s enemies in Mexico City
have become ,so bold recently that
their plottings are conducted almost
in the open and he is obliged to adopt
drastic measures for his protection.
Many arrests have been made, but
sympathy for the constitutionalist
cause has been cropping out in the
capital.
When the news was received in
Mexico City that the American blue
jackets and marines had landed in
Vera Cruz, the first outburst -of in
dignation and partriotic fervor work
ed to Huerta’s advantage.
There was a further increase in his
popularity, according to official ad
vices received here, when he took
measures of reprisal against Ameri
cans on account of the false report
that Mexican non-combatants were
being detained in Vera Cruz by the
Americans.
Everything goes to show that Huer
ta honestly believed this report. When
he was convinced it was false he gave
orders that all ‘Americans then un
der arrest should be released. But
many of the people of the federal dis
trict conceived the idea that Huerta
himself had started the rumor that
Mexicans were being detained or
thrown into prison by the American
invaders, and feeling turned against
him.
The United States government
would be content if Huerta should
flee from Mexico. Any assistance
that he might require and which it
would be within the ability of the
Wilson administration to provide
probably would be given cheerfully.
It is quite possible that this gov
ernment would furnish a vessel to
carry him away from the shores of his
native land.
NORTHWESTERN

SEATTLE, May 16.—The steamer
Northwestern reached Seattle yester
day and will sail north on schedule.
Owing to the fact that the govern
ment is not certain regarding the
Mexican situation the Northwestern
will not be taken as a transport at
present, but will make at least one
more round trip to Alaska.

COMMISSION HUS
CLOSED OFFICE
Riggs, Edes, Mears and Bamdollar
Leave Washington for Seattle—
Start North June 1st.
WASHINGTON, May 16.—The of
fice of the Alaska railroad commis
sion at this point was closed last
night and the entire staff of the com
mission started west. Commissioners
Mears, Edes and Riggs, accompanied
by disbursing officer B. Barndollar,
left on the evening train for Chi
cago and will continue on to Seattle
to reopen the office of the commis
sion on the coast, where they will
assemble the surveying outfits for the
north and will then proceed to the
Susitna valley, where they will make
the survey of the proposed route.
Commissioner Riggs will proceed to
Fairbanks at once and will take
charge of the interior end of the
survey, while many parties will be
sent from Portage Bay and along the
route towards the interior.
The commission intend to rush the
parties north as fast as possible so
as to take advantage of every mo
ment of the summer and expect by
fall to have all the data required, up
on which the engineers will recom
mend to the president the route to
be selected by him.
The entir^ party will leave Seat
tle not later than June first if the
present plans are carried out.
In order to facilitate the work B.
Barndollar will open an office on
Prince William Sound, where he will
disburse the necessary money.
HOLD OP TRAIN;
GET THE
Bandit* Blow Up Safe But Find Reg
istered Mail Had Gone on Train
Previous—Bandits Caught. ,
UKXFORD, Mont., May 16.—Two
masked bandits held up the Oriental
Limited, the crack train of the Great
Northern, near this place, detached
the mail car, which they run down
the track for four miles, blew the
safe with dynamite and found it
empty, as all the registered mail had
been sent forward on a train previous.
The disappointed handiis then disap
peared in the hills and in spite of
the work of a dozen posse’s they
have not been caught.
The limited continued to the first
station, where the officials of the
road were notified and the sheriffs
of two counties immediately organ
ized a posse and started to hunt
the hills. Railroad detectives were
also sent to the scene and are still i
working on the case. j
Postal inspectors say that ordinar
ily the registered mall of the Orien
tal Limited is worth from $10,000 to
$100,000 in negotiable securities, mon
ey and Jewelry, but fortunately all
had been sent on a train previous.
