MEXICO CITY, Dec. 1.—General Huerta disappeared after leaving Chapulotpec Castles this morning for the National Palace. No trace of him could be found in his usual haunt*, and this fact led to the circulation of a report that he had left the city. For several hours government offi cials who had expected to confer with him at the palace waited in vain, and then dispersed to their respective offices. The Cabinet ministers pro fessed as much surprise as the lesser government attachees. The first news that Huerta was missing was followed by conflicting rumors. One of these «aid that he had not been at Chapultepec Castle at all during the night, but had Med from Mexico City secretly yesterday on a train for Vera Cruz. Train Blown Up. . A train on the Central Railway has •been blown up by Zapatista near San Vicente. Thirty persons were killed and all those who escaped were shot to death by the rebels. Constitutionalists* now hold all of Mexico as far south as the city of Zacatecas. That city is still held by the Federals, but its fall is imminent as the rebels % are working around to cut off the railroad from the south. While General Huerta intends to cling to the Presidency as long as possible, the Mexican Government is taking no chances on forcing inter vention in this country by the United States. Orders Legislators Released. This was shown to-day when a semi-official announcement was made that acquittal is likely to be ordered for all of the members of Congress who were recently arrested. Huerta is afraid of finding these members guilty of sedition and sentencing them to death, which would result in prompt action by the American Gov ernment. Foreigners in Mexico are deeply in terested in the visit which Admiral Craddock, of the British navy, was to make to General Huerta this after- i « noon. lie will be accompanied to I' the national palace by Sir Lionel Car- i 1 den, the British Minister Huerta Frames New Cabinet.
