. ARREST OF HUERTA
ON MEXICAN BORDER
CRIMPSJWTIOII
Former Dictator Held on Charges
of "Violating American
Neutrality"
HEARING SET FOR JULY 1
Inside Details of Latest Plot Be
gin Trickling Out
Today
By Associated Press
El Paso. Texas, June 28.—'The ar
rest of Generals Vletoriano Huerta
and Pascual Orozco here last night on
charges of violating the neutrality laws
of the Vnlted States by attempting to
set on foot an armed expedition over
shadowed all other developments in
the Mexican situation here to-day.
It has forced the abandonment, tem
porarily at least, government officials
believe, of any movement to launch a
new revolutionary movement in Mexico.
Tnside details of the plot to restore
a Huerta regime in Mexico, nipped in
the bud by the United States, began
trickling out to-day through the net of
official secrecy while General Huerta
and his lieutenant, Orozco, are under
federal detention.
Other Mexicans, nearly a score of
whom were in the plot that failed, and
some Americans are under surveil
lance.
Conferences were held to-day be
tween District Attorney Warren and
others to sift to the bottom the leaders
of the new revolution. Where the
trail might lead is only a matter of
conjecture.
Official information disclosed that
weeks ago Huerta. in apparent se
clusion at his country horn eon Long
Island, offered his services to General
Iturbide. one of the exile colony in
Xew York, and at the same time sent
an emissary to Washington to ask if
he would be persona grata to this gov
ernment if he took a part in Mexican
affairs. Iturbide declined Huerta's
company and Washington sent word to
the former dictator that he would be
persona non grata, decidedly so.
Immediately thereafter the official
advices here say Huerta renewed his
offer, with % modified proposal that
Tturbide accept Huerta's aid without
Huerta's leadership, with the co
operation of his associates. This last
goffer, officials here and diplomatists
Mexican interests who have been
keeping themselves quiet say, Iturbide
accepted.
In view of this, the officials are
puzzled to know what part Huerta was
to take in Mexican affairs.
Maintain Junta
It is known that for weeks a party
of prominent Mexicans. Huertistas and
Oetificos. have been maintaining an
acute junta in El Paso, in constant
communication with Huerta and other
members of the exile colony in Xew
York, and maintained among them
selves the form of a provisional gov
ernment. with a president and mem
bers of a cabinet. Advices to Mexicans
have continually indicated that the
junta was planning some definite move.
Huerta was released on $15,000 and
Otozco was given his liberty under a
bond of half that sum. It is under
stood that adherents of the former
