War.
General Huerta will remain aboard

When he expects to leava his coun
try and share the exile of General Por
firio flax, whom he escorted to the
coast three years ago, is yet unknown
except perhaps to himself.
German Cruiser Proffered.
Captain Kohler. of the German
cruiser Dresden, offered him bis ship
"for any use he cared to make of her,"
but General Huerta merely thanked
him. adding that he would return his
call tomorrow before noon.
The trip to this port was without in
cident or unpleasantness other than
that caused by the terrible heat of the
tropical lowlands. With Huerta and
Blanquet were the general staff. The
party occupied a train of nine sleeping
cars, four of which were given over to
troops.
Traoopa Uaard Frail aad Rear.
Two other trains, loaded with noth
ing but troops, preceded General
liuerta's train and arrived here an
hour before the Huerta train. Behind
him came another train, also loaded
with soldiers, to guard against any
rear movements.
Captain Kohler and staff. In formal
dress uniforms, were at the station and
were officially presented to General
Huerta. He thanked the Captain for
bis call and for the offer of his boat.
Answering inquiries as to the state

the officers that he felt very well, al
though somewhat tired from the heat.
British Refuge Offered.
British Vice-Consul Gemmill also of
ficially called on Huerta and presented
him a message, presumably an offer of
refuge on the British cruiser Bristol.
Huerta read It and expressed pleasure
at the consideration being shown him.
Local officials calling on General
Huerta tonight were few In number,
the only one of importance being Gen
eral Rincon. commander of the local
garrison. Commander Gabriel A. Car
vallo, of the Mexican gunboat Zaragoza,
with his staff, also called, but General
Huerta was weary of holding recep
tions and asked to be excused for the
night.
When the train pulled in scores of
officers from the trains which had ar
rived previously lined along the wharf
to get a glimpse of their deposed chief
There was not a cheer nor a handclap.
Those at the train side, as If by agree
ment, treated the arrival of the ex
President as a most solemn Incident.
Rapid Dressing Seeae Enacted.
A few townspeople were present, but
they exhibited nothing more than curi
osity. About town quiet prevailed; the
town had already gone to sleep.
General Huerta was sitting in the
smoking-room of the car when the
train stopped. In front of him was
General Blanquet. Each was in his
shirt sleeves and without a collar. The
official delegation from the German
cruiser climbed aboard the train be
fore General Huerta appeared ta real
ize their presence, and then began a
scramble for coat and collar, and a
rapid dressing scene was seen through
the window by the crowd outside.
Huerta mopped the perspiration
from his face with a big bandana hand
kerchief and was assisted Into his coat
by Blanquet. Putting on his collar,
however, was toi much of a task and
he went out Into the aisle of the center
car as he was. to receive the German
Emperor's representative. He was
dressed In the same suit of clothes he
had worn In the streets of the capital,
while tossed over In a corner seat was
the flat brown hat that has long served
to distinguish him.

were all the other members of the staff.

announced that Huerta and Blanquet

KEEP RIVALS OFF CORNER.
Noisy Honks of Horns and Calls of
Drivers Invite to Spins at
Prices Cut In Half.
Patrons of automobile liveries and
taxlcabs are benefiting by the war
now on between the various automo
bile stands, chauffeurs and taxlcab
companies In which price-cutting and
rate-slashing plays a prominent part.
Yesterday afternoon one concern em.
ployede a ' standard-bearer" to parade
the downtown streets advertising rates
of $2 an hour for touring cars. An
hour later a rival company cut the rate
to el 50 an hour.
Chauffeurs who formerly lounged In
their machines waiting for a call are
displaying keen rivalry.
Whether one owns his own automo
bile or whether he rides In a livery
machine, July, 1914, presents an eco
nomic Joy more rides for less money.
The gasoline war has cut the cost of
fuel. The price of the oil Is now down
to 15, 16 and 17 cents a gallon. A year
ago gasoline cost 19. 20 and 21 cents
per gallon. The price of gasoline was
brought down by A. J. Winters, who
started selling at 14 H cents a gallon.
The rivalry is due to the activities of
two concerns, one in placing several
cars at down-town corners with rates
of 60 cents to any part of the West
Side, excepting South Portland, and the
other in adopting the brown color pat
ent of an established company.
The courts held that a taxlcab may
be painted in any color and the war
started.
One combination of touring car
chauffeurs occupied two blocks on
Sixth street yesterday by "sandwich
ing" their machines so as to prevent
rival drivers from standing their cars
on the popular street. Several of the
machines had no drivers.
