Havana, July 14—The steamer Espagne arrived here today from Vera Cruz with the Mexican finance min- istem Francisco de la Lama, Ex-Min- ister of Commerce Moheno and Gen- erals Joaquin and Mario Massa abaard. n an interview Senor Moheno sald: ‘I believe the immediate solution of the Mexican problem will be the fall of the Huerta government, but Huerta will not leave Mexico so easily as is generally thought. I know him well and I am sure he will stay until the conflict is solved either by the triumph of the revolution or the establishment of a provisional government agree- able to all parties. ‘It is possible that the constitution- alists will not accept a neutral gov- ernment because if such a government is established, the constitutionalists will not come into power. If they do come into power, their government will be short-lived. If they grant the peo- ple liberty, public opinion will over- throw them, and, if not, another reve olution will oust them.” General Huerta is the most cour- ageous man in the world and a great military organizer, but is inefficient as an organizer ¢f a government. Huerta has chosen a most detestable cabinet, based on mistrust, which is like bufid- ing a cement house on movable sand. Financially his government has beaten all_records for mistake; Senor Moheno said h write a book entitled “My Political Conduct After a Tragic Ten Days,” with the sub-titie “Who Were Ma- dero’s Real Murderers " He added: “I will show that Huerta was not guilty.” intended to SHERMAN LAW SUIT BROUGHT AGAINST EASTMAN KODAK CO.

Fairfield had with him drawings of the interior and exterior of the house and the ground surrounding It. Dr. Carman’s story, it is nnderstood, was much the same as the one he told at the Inquest.

His re- l-vised assertion is that he is not & the woman he saw was Mrs. Car- man.

The am- plifications she made were of the ut- most importance.” “Do you consider the Ccleman wo- man or Bardes, the state’s most im- portant witness?’ the district attor- ney was asked. “T can't answer that’ Bmith. “There may be a third witness as impertant as either of them.” Heard Crash of Glass.
