United States officials were silent rela- tive to future action, pending receipt of instructions for m Washington. Observ- ers, however, freely expressed the bellef {that today's action of the United States authorities will have an i bear- ing on Mexican developments, if it does not effectively put an end to rumors of a new revolutionary movement that have been current on the border for several |months. Many were inclined to see In |these events an indication that Washing- ton remains firm in its attitude that Huerta's return to Mexico would no¥ ald in adjusting the present difficulties and ight serve to complicate them. A public demonstration in Juarez about the hour Huerta's train was due to reach this city ended as suddenly as it began. There were hurried conferences among Mexican leaders on both sides of the river. Many guardedly admitted that Huerta's detention was of the utmost im- but none would comment on its possible effect on Mexico. Comment of Americans. | by a member of that party pearance of General Ynez recalled the activities of Generals Orosco, Caravo and Salazar in the anti-Madero revolution and their subsequent service during the Huerta regime. For several days there have been per- sistent rumors that June 28 had been fixed as the date for far-reaching de- vélopments at Juares in eonnection with the so-called third revolutionary move- ment. Some observers professed to sea a closer relation between these move- ments and the arvival of General Huerta. They expressed the, opinion that his de- tention hod prevented such a consumma~ tion by revidwing the possibility of Gen- | Huerta's participation {movement, despite his declaration that {he had no Intention of attempting to cross into Mexico. | Opponents of this theory, who argued |Huerta as one of the strongest men in Mexjcan public life In recent years, be- lieve his detention may result in reviving a strong influence on Venustiano Car- ranza and Francisco Villa for a reasone able conduct of thelr governments.
