FUNSTON FOR ARMY PROTECTION Sends Emissaries to Vera Cruz to Ask if He Can Take Refuge There. « HIS ARMY IN REVOLT. Dictator May Leave Country on German Ship to Save His Life. VERA CRUZ, May 27,—Emissarien from Mexico City have asked Gen. Frederick Funston if Gen. Victoriano Huerta would be welcomed within the American lines, according to a report current here this afternoon. Gen. Funston declined to make any statement when asked about the story, but odmitted that he had asked Wash- Ington’s permission to make public “a big plece of news” later tu-day. ‘There was no confirmation here of rumors that Huerta was en route to Puerto Mexico to take passage on a German ship. Citizens of the capital arriving here expected the Dictator sooner or later to flee. The steamship Ypirange was due to arrive here to-night from Puerto Mexico, when it is expected that the many rumors about her, including one that Huerta, his family and members of his Cabinet were aboard, will be cleared up. The Ypiranga, which is under charter by the German Gov- ernment, went to Puerto Mexico con- voyed by the German cruiser Dresden. The merchantman atill carries the Huerta arms and ammunition which the United States forbade her to land at Vera Cruz. In addition to the many rumors that Huerta, Moheno, Lozana and other Mexicans are com- jug.here it was also reported that the Ypiranga went to Puerto Mexico to unload the ammunition.

VERA CRUZ, May 21.—The fre- quently forecasted flight of Gen. Vic toriano Huerta is reported to have occurred at last. The report is gen- erally credited here. ‘The dictator ts said to have disap peared from his usual haunts at the capital, There is dissension in bis Cabinet and he faces the prospect of elimination &@ result of the media- tion protocol. je is believed to have gone to Puerto Mexico to board a German ship, There 1s no doubt here of a break between Huerta and his Minister of War, Gen.

Without the support of Blanquet and bis troops Huerta could never have attained the pro- visional presidency and could not have held on as long as he has in the face of foreign opposition.
