Last Message of Huerta Has Tone of Deep Sorrow.

After Gen. Victoriano Huerta was very near'death, Henry Lane Wilson, former ambassador from the U. S. to Mexico City and whose recommendations to the administration that Huerta be recognized were disapproved, sent.a message of sympathy to Huerta. Hhe old man replied but the message was sent to Washington instead of Indianapolis and did not reach Henry Lane Wilson until Tuesday. It read: “It is quite possible that the unjustified procedure pursued against me by the inferior employes here of the department of justice throwing me, without my knowledge of the reason, into a filthy cell in the county jail like a common criminal may have had something to do with my grave illness. It was only due to the efforts of my lawyers that I was transferred to Fort Bliss where I have remained six months. Now that the condition of my health is deplorable, the high officials of the department of justice have possibly deemed it fit not to molest me so much, permitting me to come to my home and to receive proper medical treatment.”
