End of Huerta 's Regime is Expected Soon. Will Carrania and Villa Sot Up a Got- eminent That This Country Oaa Recognise? x 'r Washington. April 17. The Unit ed States intends to be prepared to adopt stern measures in Mexico to enforce its future demands. It will accept the salute from Huerta as ending the Tampico incident. That salute will be returned gun for gun, although, in doing so there will be ap parent violation vof the naval regula tions. But this country will not withdraw the warships from the vi cinity of the Mexican coast. From now on there will be maintained at sea, as well as on the Texss border, -an adequate force to compel reajiect for America. President Wilson was told that the end of the Huerta rtgime is no longer a question of months but almost days. The flower of the federal army was crushed in the fighting that followed ' the. Torreon campaign. Villa's forces are leing augmented daily by those who want to be with the winner. Advices received here indicate that the-constitutionalists may be pound ing at the defense of . Mexico . City within a fortnight. No one knows whether, should the constitutionalists win, that Carranza and Villa are willing to set up a government that this nation can recognise. STANLY PRIMARIES.
