HOERTA-iE
Does Not Think the Rebels J
Will Attack Puerto
Mexico.
OTHERS NOT SO
SURE OF THIS
Small Band of Constitutional-!
ists Not Far Away Huerta
and Party Will Likely Sail
Tomorrow.
Puerto Mexico,.) uly 20 General Hu
erta today shrugged his shoulders
nd smiled contemptously at the idea
that a torce of Constitutionalists,
knovvn to be a short distance from
here, would dare attack the city.
The military companions of the fu-
gative former dictator, nowever, am
not display the same degree of confi
dence and a extended al ine of out
posts was maintained today, which
prevented the Constitutionalists from
approaching nearer.
General Huerta continued to pass
most of his time in the railroad car,
in which he arrived from Mexico City.
Since his arrival he has not taken an
hour of exercise.
Now that the means of getting away
from Mexico have been arranged there
is a marked change in bearing of all
fugatives. The vessel to carry women
and children was expected late today,
but its unlikely the party will leage
before tomorrow.

der." She shook with sobs and used
her handkerchief frequently. She
glanced about the room occasionally,
as though .searching for a friendly
