HUERTA WON'T RESIGN
Through Minister, He Says That He Alone Can Pacify Mexico.
Special to The New York Times.
    MEXICO CITY, Aug. 2.—Aureliano Urrutia, Minister of the Interior, issued a formal statement to-night that Provisional President Huerta would not resign his office, as he was convinced that he was the only man able to take the country back to peace and order politically and materially.
    The Minister further stated that the only policies in the Mexican Cabinet would be those of President Huerta, carried out by Senor Urrutia.

    MEXICO CITY, Aug. 2.—Foreign Interference in the conduct of his task of pacification will not be tolerated by Provisional President Huerta.
    He purposes to stay in the Presidency and he will brook no interference on the part of nationals or foreigners.
    This determination was expressed in a statement issued this evening in his behalf.
    "Gen. Huerta will not resign," the statement said. "Much less will he permit nationals or foreigners to take a hand in a question in which is involved his honor and that of the nation. I will say still more, that Gen. Huerta has contracted an obligation with the nation and with the entire world to establish peace in the Mexican Republic. This obligation is in the way of being fulfilled.
    "If, when it is realized, our Government has been recognized by that of the United States we shall rejoice. If it is not we will lament it. We will not, however, change our attitude of defense of national honor and dignity."
    The declaration of the Minister of the Interior is regarded in political circles here as the Government's answer to the Mexican Deputies, who are promoting a movement to bring about an understanding between the Huerta Administration and the rebels.
    Gen. Huerta to-day authorized the statement that Gen. Felix Diaz, recently appointed Special Ambassador to Japan, will continue on his mission to Japan.
