-4 FEDERAL TROOPS DEFEATED. By Tel«2M.ph—Press Association—Oopyrigl (Rec. June 28, 5.5 p.m.) Washington, June 28. Advices have been received stating tlia th« fighting round Guaymas, in Mexico resulted in the defeat of the Fcdera forces under General Ojedj. The Stati troops are now investing the town. I: it is captured, the Federals will lo com plotely wiped out in Northern Mexico. HUERTA NOT YET RECOGNISED, (Rec; June 28;> 5.5 x p.m.) Washington, June 28. The American Senate again discusse< the recognition of President Huerta o: Mexico, but the feeling was against i ill consequence of the anarchical stato o: Mexico. UNDER A CLOUD. The American "Review of Reviews," ii discussing tho Mexican situation in it Maynumbor, remarked that no official re cognition of the Huerta administration i: Mexico htid been extended from the Unit c-d States, although Great Britain am Sjiain liavo recognised a "provisional at! ministration." Nevertheless, it was gcil trally admitted in Mexico and Europ that the "soldier provisional President' and his Oabinot had taken hold of Mexi can affairs with » strong, and in the mail just hand, and had succeeded- to a grea extent in putting down tho more or les desultory opposition to their • outhorit; which had broken out in several of tli States. The apparent readiness wit! which tho masses of the Mexican populn tion have submitted to the new order in dicates ithat tho Republio is as yet in fluenced more bv tho old spirit of fore than by peaceful motives working withii the scope of the law. The Mexicans enthusiastically accepts the Madero platform in preference to til system of Porfirio Diaz.' At the time, thi platform may not havo been well adaptei to tho masses of people. It may be tha public opinion in general did not supnor Madero. Tho men now in control, what ever may be said About their methods, ar believed to bo intelligent and capable probably more able than their imniediat predecessors, and many of thorn mor competent than tho Government official of the last years of Diaz. Huerta main fains that he will ateer a middle course with "wot so much repression sis in th ■old days, and much tes democracy thai was attempted recently."
