PROVIDENCE. It. I.. Au.
Mi Providence Journal cald tnli morn
lag "The arreatof QencralHuerta nt El Pato
on Jun 27 closed the flrt chapter of a
plot to etrbroll the United State with
Jfxlto and to put a stop to tho exporta
tion of munitions of war to th Allies, a
plot directed and almost brought to a con
clusion by the Oerman Ambassador.
Count von Bernsforff and Captain
Boy-Ed.
"Th German Forelsn Office, working- In
conjunction with the German Embassy at
Washington, was not only familiar with
the entire plot from the ("ay It was
actually put Into operation at Barcelona,
Spain, but originated It and planned all
Its details.
"It wan when Captain Boy-Ed, acting as
tho mouthpiece of Count von BernBtorff.
tried to hire some American citizens to so
eure Huerta's safe conduct Into Mexico
and to undertake the work of transport
ing German reservists and arms acros the
border that the exposure came.
"The moment this offer was made, the
Providence Journal was notified of It.
and, acting under the advice ol tm news
taper, the men to whom the Infamsus
proposal camo went to Washington and
laid the entire matter before President
Wilson.
'A a result of this Information Huerta
and many of his fellow plotters In New
Tork were shadowed day and nlsht by
secret service official. When Huerta left
New York with the avowed Intention of
Swing to the San Francisco exposition, the
Department of Justice was warned that
this alleged objective was a blind. Had
Huerta proceeded (o California ho would
not have been molested at that time The
moment he turned south and headed for
El Paso It was decided to arrest him on
bis arrival In that city.
HUERTA SURPRISED AT ARREST.
"Confident of the protection and safe
conduct that had been pledged to him per
sonally by Captain Boy-Ed, Huerta was
astounded at his arrest.
"Ho did not know that the moment the
Oerman Embassy ascertained that the
knowledge of the plot was In possession
of the authorities at Washington It had
become panic-stricken and at once began
to eliminate all possible clues by which Its
connection with Huerta's affairs could be
traced.
The operation of covering up the tracks
of his Government was placed In ,the
hands pf Captain Boy-Ed. who spent two'
weeka In New York doing his best to
break down any possible evidence that the
United States secret service men might
find against him. The German Embassy,,
using Huerta's ambitions .for Its own
purposes, simply made him a cat's paw
and attempted by vaguq promises of the
support of many thousands of German
reservists In this cojntry to bring about
a condition In Mexico that would compel
the United State: to lnturfcie.
PURPOSES OF VPLOT."
"The purpose of this plot was fivefold:
"I. To divert the public mind In tho
United States from the crime t.f the sink
ing of the Lusttanli,
"J. To divert the transportation of
munitions of war from their British and
continental destinations and to bring
about a condition that would compel the
Government. In order to carry through a
successful campaign In Mexico, to Insist
that manufacturers of arms and muni
tions should cease supplying foreign Gov
ernments until home demands were tilled,

"Germany had rerj thing to gain and

that American ingenuity and skill would
be able to transform great machinery and
mechanical plants into arms and muni

this has been done.

"Prominent Germans In thla country

to this matter. The Journal Is In posses

Interest and activity of tho German Em

"A number of large commercial con

business In this country, and a leading
Spanish metal concern wero Involved In

Officials are certain that order will bo

Physicians have found that, for the

and prtdUpossd to sickness. That was
Cutmiller' lot. He waa never very sick,
but he never felt very well or very
strong.
For two months past cutmiller couldn't
work. Ha waa too weak. He had saved
a llttla money a very little but It waa
enough to maintain him in a ohean lodg

WILSON WILL PUSH
SHIP PURCHASE BILL,
M'ADOO ANNOUNCES
Measure Defeated at Last
Session of Congress to Be
Brought Up Again by
President, Secretary of
Treasury Says.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-Announce-ment
by Secretary McAdoo that Presi
dent Wilson will make another attempt
to force through a ship purchase bill at
the coming session of Congress amazed
Democratic leaders here today.
"They declare that to do so will pre
cipitate a light which will Imperil the Ad
ministration plan to obtain from Congress
necessary legislation to bring up to date
methods of national defense.
If tho President will heed the advice of
tha men on whom ho must depend to get
through any legislative measure he will
disavow the McAdoo declaration nnd will
permit the passage of ship purchase legi
Illation to wait the completion of the
entire legislative program, If It Is to be
pressed at all, Is the belief here.
Democratic leaders declare that the Re
publicans will make the tariff the real
lasuo In next year's campaign. Because
of this they bellevoithat the Administra
tion should take steps to perfect the ex
isting XJnderwood-Blmmons taw and wlpo
out some of the provisions about which
complaint has been mado. Chief of these
Is the free-sugar provision. President
Wilson Is to be urged, It was learned
today, to permit the restoration of the
duty on sugar for the benefit of the South,
which has suffered so much from the
slump In the cotton market caused by the
European war.
There will be no extra session of Con
gress. Friends ot the Administration say
that within the last two days the Presl
dent has let it be known that ho will
not call an extra session, unless a crisis
Is precipitated In German-American rela
tions. The attempt of the Democratic
leaders to amend the Senate rules In
order that closure may bo resorted to
to cut off debate will be taken up at
tho regular session, even though such ac
tion makes an all-summer session of Con
gress next year necessary. If the Presi
dent should Insist on having his way.

WILSON WILL PRESENT
HIS MEXICAN POLICY
TO LATIN DIPLOMATS
President's Personal Kep-
resentative Will Tell
South American States
men How Executive Pro
poses to. End Strife in
Republic.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-Presldent Wit
on will present a definite program of his
own to end the reign of anarchy which
has gripped Mexico for years, at the
conference between Secretary of State
LLansIng and the Latin American diplo
mat tomorrow. This was the belief of
official Washington today, after Secretary
Lansing announced that Paul.Fuller, Sr.,
would be present at the gathering.
Fuller recently received QrU hsnd In
formation on conditions In Mexico. He
toured tho republic as a special agent of
the President It was reported here to-
I day, though not officially confirmed, tnai
Fuller saw the President recently at Cor
nish. This added strength to the belief
that through Fuller Prialdont Wilson will
tomorrow Inform the Latin American
diplomats how the Mexican trouble can be
s toped. .
Secretary Lansing saw Fuller today.
After a brief chot with him he nnnounced
that Fuller would attend tomorrows
meeting Duval West, an Investigator of
Mexican affairs, and Consul General
Shnnklln, recently recalled from Mexico
City, will not bo called before the meet
ing, as was expected.
While diplomatic parleys continue In an
effort to arrange a national Mexican policy
that will have the Indorsement ot Latin
AmnrlcB- aterner ' methods are to bo
birugt't Into play along the border. Tho
killing of Private McOulre. of tho 12th
Cavalry, and the wounding of Privates
Curt! and Clapaaddle In a nght with
bandits near Brownsville has Incensed
the Administration. General Funston,
commanding the entire border forces, has
been git en 0 free hand to deal with the
Bltuntlcn. Ho can omplo" every soldier
in his department If he sea fit and can
move hm troops anywhirj he pleasea to
exterminate tho bandlta who are raiding
ihc liort"er.
The situation In Mexico Ctty waa re
ported to be Improved -with the arrival
thero of food supplies. General Pablo
Gonzales, the Carranslsta commander,
has established 11 food depots in the cap
ital, It Is stated.
State Department officials are .confident
that Carranra Is doing everything In his
power to hastily comply with tho de
mand of the United State that food
reach the capital at once. Conaul Gen
eral Sllllman at Vera Cruz today cabled
that the Garranza trafilc manager had In
formed him that Carranza Is rushing food
supplies to Mexico City. Cars loaded
with nothing but suppltea are being given
preference over all other traffic.
General Funston wired the War De
partment today that General Maytorena,
Villa commander In Sonora, notified rail
road officials Sunday night that ho waB
withdrawing nil troops from the Yaqul
Valley.
If Admiral Howard lands forces to
police it, Maytorena tald, the respon
Alblllty for "this invasion of Mexican ter
ritory" would lie with Carranza for creat.
lng conditions which demanded tha Vlllla
taa' withdrawal from the valley.
