Trusted Guasque. Trtjr Charles Michelon. Vera Cruz, May 23. Huerta has ripped In the bud a plot Involving trusted official and high generals of the army to seize and kill him, ac cording to advices receive,) today from a reliable source in the capital. A a result of the discovery of this plot. General Manuel Gusque, inspector general of police, has been supplanted by General Alberto Quireroz. the joungest general In the army and for mer director of the penitentiary. Gen eral Quireroz ays: We base the names of 12 of the plotter, but are permitting them to remain at liberty In the hope that some art of theirs mav sive us stronger evidence. When the proof Is all In ray bands they wtll.be, arrested whole sale.' The arrangements fof the. defense of the Ctduadels and national palace have been completed, and Huerta Is now fortifying the municipal palace with tapl.l fire guns with which to sweep the plaza and the Avenue Sixteenth of Heptember. The building baa been iiiicked with food supplies. Volunteers and gendarmes are drilling before day break every day in 60 different places about the city. Huerta Is evidently determined to fight until the )ast mo ment. Berlma Za Disintegrating. 'The disintegration of tiie Huerta regime has begun.

Humors nre current of a quarrel between Huerta and General Garcia Pena. who succeeded General Maas In command of the forces Just outside the American llnrs. Pena got the ap pointment because of his known hatred of Americans, but Huerta dislikes him because he has been a strong Mado- rlsta. CHndido Aguilar, who t.urned rebel following the assassination of Madero, is now operating in the same section and his men have been re ported riding inside Pena's lines as though ther was an understanding between them.

He is also building numerous portable barriers whlc-.i can be set up in the streets in the event of hostili ties within the capital. Huerta thus admittedly is expecting sedition in the city and la preparing to hold on until the end and fight to the last ditch. About 20,000 civil employes and stu dents are under arms. Couriers are dally passing between Zapata's men, ho are almost at the capital's gates, ' and Villa, arranging for Zapata's part in the movement when the constitu tionalist chieftain is ready to begin bis assault on Mexico City. era Oru Ztotbed of Plotting. This city is a hotbed of antl-Huerta plotting and rumors makes the former home of Governor De Hesa the head quarters of the conspirators. De Hesa's son married Garcia Pena's daughter and If there be any truth In the stor ies from the rebel camp the acquisi tion to the rebel cause of the general has been effected at a conference held In the De Hesa house where delegates of both camps have met without inter ference by the American secret ser vice men. There remains to uphold the federal cause General Rublo Navarette, the French educate 1 artlllertst. who has lost more battles than any of the fed eral commanders, and who was twice suspended by Huerta and once ordered court martlaled for losing an entire column betwee:-.

He was sent to- oppose them because of his supposed expertness as an artillery man. The rebel commander Aguilar has been running all around Navarette, even scouting between him and the Americana. Meanwhile an upheaval in Mexico City la hourly awaited. .The rebela have become ao bold that they are pub lishing a paper under Cover. The establishment of a concentration camp by the British Indicates that the crisis is expected shortly.

He was so in terested he didn't notice the heavy door with a catch lock had blown shut, ui.til he thought he'd hat! enough au attur gardening for one eventng. Founding on the door dl:l no good. Calling to the servants was no bet ter. There was onlv one thing to do. did It.

'The favorable outlook has been em phasized by this afternoon's confer ences," was the message of Ambassa dor Da Gamma, Minister Naon and Minister Suarez at the close of an hour's full conference with both the American and Mexican representatives ir. the mediation chamber here this afternoon. No word was vouchsafed aa to what features of the situation had'been de bated, nor what conclusions, if any, had been reached, but the mediators appeared more confident of success than ever. Later they issued this statement: "The full conference of today was held at the request of the Mexican rep resentatives for the purpose of inform ing the mediators and the American representatives of the ideas of their government concerning several points, for the best solution of the rresent dif ficulty. Secrecy Xa Maintained. "In accordance with the rules laid down in the minutes of procedure, it was decided to maintain secrecy in re gard to these points until a concrete resolution shall have been reached, to which end the informal conversations will continue. "The favorable outlook has been em phasized by the results of this after noon's conference. The American rep resentatives have been asked to meet the mediator tonight for an lnfromal conference." Just what "the interesting points Tor the best solution of . the present difficulty" are, the mediators refuse to state. Hope Is held out, however, that "a concrete solution" will be dis cussed.

Largest Wheat Crop Promised at k x n at at at Railroads Rush to Order Cars wt m at at at K at at at at at Many to Be Short of Equipment Lines That Have Economized on New Equipment Will Be "Up. Against It," Chicago. May 23. Western railroads are squarely "up against it" for fa cilities to handle the big crops which western farmera will soon be turning out, if present conditions are a crite rion of what may be expected in July and August, when the wheat and oats ripen. Some of the railroads have let their equipment get in bad shape, the offi cials thinking financial conditions did not warrant tliem In spending the money necessary to Keep the rolling stock and tracks at a high standard. -i Neither have the roads purchased their usual number of freight and grain cars. Alleging' they could not secure the funds with which to pay for the! new equipment, as they now find themT selves on the verge of the greatest crop' movement the Transmississippl railroads over experienced. In a be lated effort at getting ready for the big movement, the Union Pacific has just placed an order for- 900 new freight cars, stipulating that deliv ery ehould begin as quickly as pos sible. The same road has Increased the working hours on Its forces in the shops and is repairing all cars that can be repaired. The Northwestern has ordered 800 freight cars and Is now making out a j tontatlvB cphcnnln nf Htm frieht trains for the grain trade. Burlington officiate say their motion power has been kept up to standard and that they have sufficient cars to care for their traffic, provided they can prevent other roads from "swiping" them when the rush comes. At the same time they admit that "swiping" Is the usual thing I when a railroad needs cars and with ' a shortage or cars on an roaas me scramble for rolling stock will be wild. As for the size of the crop in Ne- braska, members of the Omaha Grain , exchange are rating the winter wheat j croD alone at 70,000.000 bushels. This will be by far the greatest crop of '1 this grain ever realized In this state. Then there will be a tremendous crop of oats and the spring wheat crop will probably run 3,500,000 bushels to 5, 000,000. The alfalfa crop is far above normal in amount and weight and before all j this grain and freight is moved there will come the great JNebrasaa corn crop of anywhere from 2C5.000.000 bushels to 275,000.000 bushels. In Kansas like conditions prevail. Racing With Death Across the racitic naval Officer Trying' to Beach the Bed side of His rather In Fsndleton in Time to Saa Kim. (Srwcinl to Tup Journal.

Largest Acreage and Largest Yield Per Acre Make Note worthy Combination, Washington. D. C. May 23. The largest winter wheat croo In the his tory of the United States is predicted for this year by the crop reporting board of the tlepartment of agricul ture. A combination of the largest area ever recorded and a promise of the largest yield per acre ever re corded makes the present condition of winter wheat noteworthy, says a report made public today on the con dition of the crop May 1. The average condition pf winter wheat on May 1 was 95.9," compared with 95.6 on .April 1, 91.9 on May 1, 191$, and 85.5 the average for the last 10 years of May 1. "A condition of 95.9 on May 1," says the report today, "is indicative of a yield per acre of approximately 17.8 bushels. On the estimated area to be harvested 17.8 bushels per acre would produce 630,000,000 bushels, or 20.3 per cent more than in 1913; 57.5 per cent more than in 1912 and 46.3 per cent more than in 1911. lf the present promise be main tained until harvest the yield per acre estimated to be 17.8 buahels will com pare with an average for the last 10 years of 15 bushels, the highest yield for the period being 16.7 bushela 1906."
