"fJeneral Huerta wants to sec you." he said. Huerta. surrounded hy hi-; staff, mot the correspoudi\it.« at the door of his car. The former dictato? was at¬ tired in a clo.sely buttoned white coat, slmilarl\- to those worn by Pullman car porters. .\ siiorty wh;ie crrey cap was pulled down over his eyes, which twinkled sjiark-inijly. llurrta Inviifcl his eursts to he seat¬ ed, announcinf,' that he wnuld arratipe all qucstion.s put to him. Hhe chuckl¬ ed at the look of disapimiTitinent on the faces of the correspond'-nts and then dirlated two questions tn himself. The tir.st was:—"Why did you rc- pipn?" This was Hucrta's answer:—"Iihave resigned because I have arranged the distros.sing internal affairs of Mexico. I believe that my actions gives the 'ast proof to all loyal Mexicans of rhy de>-Mrp to brinsr jieace to .Mexico. I am convinced that resignation will result in the cnnsilidation of all of the .sons of the republic." The second fiuest;on Hu^rt.i nsked himself was: "Wh.v are you leaving the iMuntry. when you can still serve It?" j "5fy departure from the country i.-s i solely for the sake of giving perfect frei^dom of action to the new govern¬ ment. My presence here would gi\e rise to conjectiires which would pre- \'ent the pacification plans of the new criivernment. T declare to the world that the line of conduct I have foi- lower has another motive than peace to the cnuntry." Huerta refused to say a word more to tell his p'ans or the hour he will leave.

Be¬ tween midnight Frida.x and midnight yesterday there were moments w^hen the sky partly clouded and threatened a light downpour but anxious ones who, warned by their experience of liftecn days, went forth wilh trusty umbrellas in the curves of their ;un»3 had no ojiportunity to raise the irti- hcial protection and had onLj- wrinkl¬ ed sleeves to ri warci their precautions. The more careless ones among the pojtulation were freed of the monot¬ ony of hourly dodging into doorways to g-ive the clouds a chance to pa.s8. Since .luly second, the day •'.Mary went o\er the mountain," two weeks of record precijfitation ran their j 'ourse.

Puerto. Mexico, .July IR—A lieuten¬ ant, spic nnd spjin in a new uniform, with polished leKyinss stepped out nf C.eneral Huerta'.s private car drawn upnn a private sidinK this afternoon and beckoned the corn spondents. "fJeneral Huerta wants to sec you." he said.
Huerta. surrounded hy hi-; staff, mot the correspoudi\it.« at the door of his car. The former dictato? was at¬ tired in a clo.sely buttoned white coat, slmilarl\- to those worn by Pullman car porters. .\ siiorty wh;ie crrey cap was pulled down over his eyes, which twinkled sjiark-inijly.
llurrta Inviifcl his eursts to he seat¬ ed, announcinf,' that he wnuld arratipe all qucstion.s put to him. Hhe chuckl¬ ed at the look of disapimiTitinent on the faces of the correspond'-nts and then dirlated two questions tn himself.
The tir.st was:—"Why did you rc- pipn?"
This was Hucrta's answer:—"Iihave resigned because I have arranged the distros.sing internal affairs of Mexico. I believe that my actions gives the 'ast proof to all loyal Mexicans of rhy de>-Mrp to brinsr jieace to .Mexico. I am convinced that resignation will result in the cnnsilidation of all of the .sons of the republic."
The second fiuest;on Hu^rt.i nsked himself was: "Wh.v are you leaving the iMuntry. when you can still serve It?" j
"5fy departure from the country i.-s i solely for the sake of giving perfect frei^dom of action to the new govern¬ ment. My presence here would gi\e rise to conjectiires which would pre- \'ent the pacification plans of the new criivernment. T declare to the world that the line of conduct I have foi- lower has another motive than peace to the cnuntry."
Huerta refused to say a word more to tell his p'ans or the hour he will leave. He would not even sa\' wheth¬ er he would loavo hy the cruis'-r Brlp- tol or the rtresden.
Signed Note P,(V)ks.
He signed the correspondents' nofl? hooks and insisted on gUing each a I five peso gold piece a? n souvenir. He posed wilMnsly for photogr-iphs and the moviec nictures and while nosing he pmlsed the T. X. S. enterprise and complimented It as h^i-inf: the on'y photographers "on the .1rvh."
"^'^¦hen T come to Xe^'' Tork." Huerta smiled 'T'l' btiy you a dinner. provided T have money enouerh, ofher- w'se you can he mv hosts."
Poineone remarked that if Huerta ca:ne to tfie T'fl'er? StTtes "we will make you president. Huerta l.TUo-'h- ed grim'y and renlleil: "In this coon*rv
Por the first time .«Ince .July sec¬ ond twenty-four consecutive hours have passed without rain falling in any part of Wyoming Valley. Be¬ tween midnight Frida.x and midnight yesterday there were moments w^hen the sky partly clouded and threatened a light downpour but anxious ones who, warned by their experience of liftecn days, went forth wilh trusty umbrellas in the curves of their ;un»3 had no ojiportunity to raise the irti- hcial protection and had onLj- wrinkl¬ ed sleeves to ri warci their precautions. The more careless ones among the pojtulation were freed of the monot¬ ony of hourly dodging into doorways to g-ive the clouds a chance to pa.s8.
Since .luly second, the day •'.Mary went o\er the mountain," two weeks of record precijfitation ran their j 'ourse. Expert.s ail over the East | .-1\ it ha.s been thus far the wettest | July for many years. The forty days rain promised by the downpour on j .Mary's visiting day seemed de.<=tined to wring the sky dr>- and when the rainy spell commonly supi>o.«ed to fol¬ low a wet July l.'ith was given a good beginning last Wednesday there ap¬ peared to be no means of escape.
The spell was !>roken yesterday.
