There were a few shouts in the streets of "down with Huerta” and '‘viva Car ranza,” but the police promptly inter vened, stopping all such demonstra tions. All Leave Together. General Huerta, who remained in the capital some hours after his res ignation, is in flight, probably on his way to Puerto Mexico to join his fam ily and friends, who left for that port a day earlier.

A new cabinet, it is expect ed, will be named during today. The diplomatic corps has arranged to make a formal call on the new pres ident on Friday. For Peaceful Entry. A significant incident in connection with the change of government was the announeemet that a special com mittee, had left the capital last night for Celaya to arrange with the con stitutionalist leaders for a peaceful en try into the capital. The committee consists of Jesus Urueta, Jose Inez Novels and Enrique Bordes Mangel, former members of the chamber of deputies. Huerta's resignation, sent to con gress late yesterday afternoon, was ac cepted by the senators and the depu ties after a brief debate, by a vote of 121 to 17. In the message convey ing his resignation Huerta took oc casion to make bitter reference to tne United States government. Two Hours Later. After the acceptance of the resig nation Francisco Carbajal immediate lv was appointed provisionad presi dent and he took the oath of office at the joint session of the senators and deputies, two hours later. A feature of the discussion in the chamber while the resignation of Huerta was pending was the speecn made by Deputy Musquiz Blanco. He made a bitter attack on America and American politics. He was hissed by the public in the galleries. <AII the newspapers issued extras on /the day’s events. El Pais, which was suppressed by the government two months ago, re appeared last night.

Other Nations Will Follow Washington, D. C. —President Wilson will not recognize. Provisional President Carbajal nor any othei; government in Mexico not set up through a legal elec tion or in accordance with the protocols signed at Niagara Falls.

For that reason he thinks the constitutionadists will be very careful In their procedure. From Huerta. The President is understood to have no objection to Carbajal except on the score that he derived his power from Huerta, and is willing to accept him, if the constitutionalists will agree, as pro visional president until elections.

Official dispatches threw no further light on the destina tion of Huerta and other refugees of his party early today.

CARRANZA AGREEING, THEN RECOGNITION UNCERTAINTY ABOUT VILLA ■ ■ * Information That He is Con centrating Forces to Make Vigorous Demand on Car ranza Washington.—The only cloud today on the horizon of peace In Mexico was the uncertainty about the attitude of Gen.

Will Be Def*rr*d, Should Carranza refuse to complete the settlement of the Internal con flict by diplomatic means and Insist on a forcible entry Into Mexico City, recognition will be deferred until there Is a legal election.

Under the term* of a protocol signed • t Niagara Falls, the United States, Argentina, Brazil and Chile went on record promising recognition to the government set up by any agreement between the two Mexican factions. To vitalize that protocol the Washington government and the mediators now are betiding their efforts. Fir»t Mov*.

VICTORY FOR WILSONPOLICY British Press Regard Huerta’s Resignation As Such. Wel comed By English Public. London.—Huerta's resignation la re garded ns a victory for President Wil son’s polity, and I* welcomed by the British public and officials as a possi ble solution of the Mexican problem. A peaceful end to the complex situa tion Is greatly desired here on account of the large British financial Interests In Melxco. Most of the London news paper* however, express doubt as to whether conditions will be any better under Carranza. For Reparation, The Pall Mall GazeW* point* out that If Carbajal aurrender* to Carranza "it may aoon be possible to exact reparation from Bert teal Villa for the murder at Juarez of Wrn. 8. Benton, the Scottish rancher." The Evening Standard aaya: "Tho Washington administration ha* won a diplomatic victory. President Wilson hn* been persistent and patient In his policy of non-rgcognltlon of Huerta but It la likely he will be tnet now by other ob stacles Juat a* hard to surmount aa waa General Huerta'* obstinacy." Triumph for Prealdent. The Globe takes much the same view, seylng "The elimination of General Huerta Is a triumph f<s- President Wil son, xxx hut‘lt may be assumed that his difficulties are by no means over. There Is no reason to suppose that tht»i the real opinions of the Mexican people will have more opportunity to assert themselves under Carranza than they had under Huerta. The United States, however, has been warned t.y experience not to Impilre too cloeely nor to expect too much." PRESIDENT COMMUTES SENTENCE. Washington, D. C.

HOME EDITION Meanwhile American Warships Will Remain in Harbor of Vera Cruz and Funston’s Troops Continue Administra* tion of Port. Washington. —Huerta’s career In Mexican politics at. an end, President Wilson and his advisers today were concerned with the outcome of the mission of three federal envoys who started from Mexico City for Celaya to arrange with the constlutlonalists for peaceful entry Into the capital. Many diplomats In Washington think President Carbajal may be disposed to accept the terms of the Plan of Guadalupe, which provides for the Carranza, constitutionalist chief, as provisional president, pending elec tions throughout the republic. Follows Porfirio Diaz. All doubt In Washington over the course Huerta might now pursue was dispelled by the report that he had left Mexico City, presumably for Puerto Mexico. There. It was believ ed, he would follow In the steps of Porfirio Diaz and board a ship for Europe. While President Wilson and Secre tary Bryan were silent after the an nouncement of Huerta’s resignation, they were noticeably optimistic over prospects for early adjustment of the problem that has vexed two adminis trations and threatened to plpunge the United States Into a foreign war. No Recognition. The Washington government will not recognize the new pprovlslonal president, but the understanding here Is that he will hold office only until arrangements can be made for Car ranza’s occupation of Chapultepeo Castle. Carbajal, It was believed, hoped on ly for the declaration of general am nesty for the forces that have oppops ed the northern armies and certain property guarantees. The constitute UonallstH have declared they would not enter Into negotiations with Huer ta'j successor but hope was confident ly expressed that some basis of par leys might be found by which mili tary conquest of the capital could bs averted. A. B. C. Envoy*. The South American mediator* wtto brought about the cessation of ho*- tllltlea between the United States and the Huerta government will continue' their efforts, It Is believed, to clear clear the way for conferences between the two Mexican factions, aimed at avoiding the possibility of further bloodshed. Deserter* to Vera Crux. Waihington.—General Funston In • dispatch to the war department today made no mention of Huerta * plan*, but expressed the belief that In con sequence of the dictator* resignation there would be defections from hi* troops on guard along the railroad and that the deserters would come to Vera Cruz. It was explained at the war depart ment that no effort will be made to keep such soldiers out of Vera Cruz. At first It was the Idea that they should be Interned, but later it was decided they would be permitted to come tn, provided they laid down t'helr arms. Carranza Makes No Comment; May Change If Full Surrender Monterey, Mex.—(via Laredo, Tex.) —When Informed of Huerta'* resig nation last night General Carranza,' the constitutionalist leader, made no comment for publication, but a high Carranza official said he believed there would be no change In his atti tude or the movements of the consti tutionalists army, but It would pro ceed to capture Mexico City.
