OUTLOOK IN MEXICO.

HUERTA'S STRONG STATEMENTS. COUNTER REVOLUTION PLANNED By Gable. — Press Association. — Copyright. (Received July 17, 1.15 p.m.) MEXICO CITY, July 16. Huerta, in a statement announcing his resignation, alluded bitterly to the .outrage committed by the " American fleet in capturing Vera Cruz; also to the support of the Constitutionalists by America. The attitude of the Mexican Government, during its short life, had dealt a death blow to the unjust power of the United States, and later, strong workers would come who would undoubtedly end this power which had committed so many outrages upon the American continent. Later, during a sitting of the Chamber of Deputies, President Blanco hotly attacked American political methods, which drove them to interfere in Mexico. Senor Blanco was loudly cheered. Reports are current of the formation of a Junta in El Paso, where it is intended to start a counter revolution in favour of Felix Diaz against Constitutionalists. It is understood that Huerta has left for Puerto, Mexico, intending to depart for Europe. Senor Blanquet, Min- i ister for War, is accompanying him.
