MAY BE DEPORTED TO SPAIN WASHINGTON, July —General Victoriano Huerta, former dictator and president of Mexico, whose de- tiance of President Wilson led to the selzure of Vera Cruz by American marines and bluejackets, will not be permitted to enter Mexico from tha United States at a time when his presence would be a further menace to the plans of this government to 2 | restore peace if the federal govern- ment can prevent it. D terminstion to keep Huerta from crossing the southern border of the United States and thus complicating the present Mexican situation with a new revolution, | reached the point today where four dif- ferent ways of detaining the former Mex- Ican chleftain were under consideration by varlous departments of the United States government. Becretiry Lansing, in referring to the receipts of a formal request for the ex- tradition of Huerta from the military au- thorities of the state of Chihuahuu, inti- mated that the federal government could, If it chose, withdraw its present charges of viclating American neutrality la: nd surrender Huerta to the Villa commander at Juarez. May Be Deported to Spalu. Becretary Wlison of the Department of Labor, has under consideration a plan for deporting Huerta to Spain, under the im- migration laws covering the return of un- desirable aliens. General Funston of the Lepartment of Texas has been ordered to use the mili- tary forces at his disposal to prevent Huerta from crossing the line while at liberty on bail. ‘The Department of Justice is gathering evidence for the prosecution of Huerta under federal statutes. Until the hearing on July 12, General Huerta will be kept (Continued on Page Two, Column Three.) Wilson Considers Report On Sinking of the Armenian CORNISH, N. H, July 2—President Wilson spent most of this forenoon in his study at Harlakenden house working on State department matters and othor official business sent here from Wash- ington. The president read carefully reports from the State department on the Ar- menian incldent, concerning Mexico and examined a re- port from Becretary Lansing on data laid before the State department by a committee of importers protesting against alleged British interference with rrade between the United States and other neutral countries. This information will be considered carefully in the pre, tions of the final draft of the note soon to be sent to Great Britain, After President Wilson and Dr. Cary T.

Colonel Porfirio Dias, jr., {and his wife were summoned hastily and arrived at the bedside only a few moments before the end. Cause of Death. Colonel Diag, in announcing the death |of his father, said that he was unable to state the nature of the malady, but ex- pressed the opinfon that a complication of diseases due to advanced age was the cause. General Diaz had been in failing health after reaching Europe in 1011 after his resignation from the presidency of Mex- ico, following the successful Madero rev- olution. Last fall he was il at Blarritz, France, but was reported to have re- covered, He had consistently declined to comment on the passing phases of the Mexican situation. Two tragic circumstances marked the death of the exiled ruler. Owing to the troubled state in Meéxico, it has been judged impossible to send the body home with all that ceremony which would have | befitted one of the greatest figures in | Mexican history, and, further, Colonel | Porfirio Diaz, jr., has tried in vain to in- {form his sisters, Senora Ignacio de la Torre and Senora Rincon Gallardo, who |are now in Mexico, of the death of thelr | father, Old Associntes Away. Not less tragic, perhaps, is the fact that not one of those whom General Diaz ralsed up to be his assistants in govern- ing Mexico, and who proapered ahd grew rich in the shadow of his greatness, were |with him when he died. Jose Yves de Limantour, former Mexican minister of finance, is In London: Francisco de la !

The end seems to have been brought about by fallure of the heart, which was | weakened by a severs attack of grip last year. This fline 0 left the aged exile almost blind.

Russian Order for Railroad Cars Had Two Strings to It CHICAGO, July 3~The recent refusal 'of the Pullman company to accept a huge order for rallroad cars for the Rus- slan government was explained tod by a high official of the Pullman com- pany, according to the Daily News. The Russian agent, who approached the Pullman company wanted 60,600 cars, | worth about $25,00000. The Pullman company rejected the offer for two reasons, namely, that pay was to be in | Russian notes, and 40,00 of the cars were to be bullt at a plant which the Pulman company was seked to install in Russia. President Runels of the Pullman com- | pand demanded cash, as he said was de- | manded of all customers, and declined to {bulld e plant in Russia. The Russian | agent was without discretion in the mat- |ter. He had his instructions, could not change them, and the deal fell thiough. ‘) Do you want to buy or sell real estate?
