WASHINGTON, 1). 0., July 2. The authorities
here art* continuing their strict surveilance over
ex-president Huerta tit Ml I’aso. Huerta will not bo
permitted to enter Mexico at this time, nor at any
time in the future when the I nited States would
consider that his presence there would he a menace
to the peace of the country. The government has
made its plans regarding Mexico and it will not
allow them to be interfered with by the injection of
another disturbing element in the situation. This
country intends to enforce peace in Mexico it it can,
and at present it looks upon Huerta as dangerous to
its purposes.
The cabinet has held several meetings to con
sider what action should be taken to dispose ot
Huerta. Four different ways of circumventing him
have been suggested. The one which seems to meet
with the most favor is that proposed of deporting
him to Spain, and forbidding him to return to
America. Huerta is now out on bail, but he is a
prisoner to all intents and purposes for if he should
do anything to make the federal officials the least
bit suspicious he will be immediately re arrested.
WASHINGTON, 1). C„ July 1.—'The* governor
of Chihuahua, an officer in the government of Gen
era I Villa has communicated with the department of
state requesting the extradition of Victoriano
Huerta on the ground that he is a fugitive from
justice*. Something positive is sure to be accom
plished in the next few days regarding Huerta, but
the government has not yet decided upon its course
of action.
If the federal officials fail to press or prove their
charges against Ilnerta on the ground that he lias
violated the neutrality laws of this country, he will
perhaps he arrested at the request of the governor
of Chihuahua, and he then may lie held without hail
for forty days, pending the arrival of the evidence
from Mexico. The impression prevails in high
official circles that this will he done. This would
keep Huerta out of trouble for forty days, and if the
Villa government failed to satisfy the United States
that Huerta was guilty of an extraditable offense,
the Department of Labor would probably order his
deportation to Spain.
EL PASO, July 2.—The Villa government in
Mexico is seeking the extradition of Victoriano
Huerta. Tin* charge brought against him is that he
murdered Abraham (lonzales, a former governor of
Chihuahua, whom Huerta had executed.

DAILY LONDON REVIEW
BRITISH IDEA OF IR
Special to The Times fly Associated Press.
LONDON, July 2.—The general staff of the
German army is evidently seeking to secure a deci
sive victory over the Russians and for that reason is
making every effort to capture Warsaw. No
troops have been withdrawn from the eastem front
to the west, but a large number have been sent into
Russian Roland to re-enforce the armies then*. The
Germans are attacking in force all along the line,
and in most places are slowly bending back the Rus
sian front. Big guns have been sent forward to aid
the infantry, and a heavy artillery battle between
both armies is now under way.
In Galicia, General Mackensen continues his
boring tactics on the Russian line. Not content with
clearing the Russians from Austrian territory, lie is
forcing them back farhter and farther upon their
own soil. The Teuton forces are now pushing
steadily ahead between the Vistula and the Bug
rivers. It seems undoubted that the Germans have
paid for their suceesses in Galicia at an enormous
cost, and the military authorities in this city do not
understand what advantage Germany gains by such
reckless expenditure of human life, unless it be for
the effect on Roumania and Bulgaria, who are both
thinking of entering tin* war on the side of the allies,
The Russians have recently received new supplies
of a high explosive which has enabled them to swell
enormously the casualty lists of the German army.
