InY MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEhsrn wiREl
Washington, Nov l1.--That the
United states In It's policy toward the
provisional government In Mexico Is
content to await the outcome Of the
steady pressure being eXertcd against
the Huerta regime was apparent today
in official circles here. Exciting ru-
mOrs from Mexico City wholly failed
to rufflo the calm confidence Of Pres
ident Wilson or Secretary Bryan.
1.-THE mills of the gods grind slowly d"
was the declaration of one high off
cial Of the government in discussing
the developments. The president was
not at all aroused by reports that Mr.
O'ShauFhnessy was about 10 quit Mex
leo city and il was stated that no
orders had been given either TO Mr..
O'Shaughnessy or John Lind al Vera
Cruz to leave Mexico. Rumors that
the American embassy would be
closed within forty-eight hours We're
characterized in official circles as un-
true.
The president told callers that while
there had been some change In the
Mexican relations as to persons, there
had been no essential change In the
circumstances to which he had rc-
ferred the other day as seeming fa-
vorabe TO a solution Of the difficulty.
The president it is said, IS confident
that the financial BOYCOTT of Huerta' 3
regime by the United states and the
great foreign powers viii be power
ful factor in bringing about the end
Of Huerta.
IN discussing the persistent rumors
that Charge O'Shaughnessy was about
TO take his departure, leaving the
American embassy's records in the
care of one Of the ministers represent
ing the foreign powers, Secretary
Bryan stated flatly that neither the
charge nor Mr. Lind had any condi-
tonal instructions and intimated that
both were acting under precise in
strucuons from Washington in every
step in negotiations.
Indications. based on the few ad-
missions of the state department Of
ficials. are that no action is contem-
plated at present that would precipi-
tate a crisis in the situation. on the
other hand. 1t was remarked that no
one here can foretell what action Gen
eral Huerta might take in the City Of
Mexico that would bring about such a
crisis.
Secretary Bryan has been informed
by Mr. O'Shaughnessy of the resigna-
ton Of Manuel Cara Adalpe as min
lister Of the interior, but he had heard
only rumors of the intention Of GEN
eral Blanquet to surrender his portfo-
lio as minister Of war While in some
Quaters there was a disposition to re-
gard cabinet changes as the forerun-
ner Of disintegration of the Huerta
regime, in others it was pointed out
that it might mark the adoption by
General Huerta of q more active and
vigorous policy, and one more defiant
of the United States government, An
early development of his purpose is
expected in view of the fact that in
the ordinary course Of events he must
gress not later than Thursday
The possibility Of an interruption Of
the railroad communication between
the City Of Mexico and Vera Cruz.
which is now practically the only out-
let from the capital, is giving con
siderable concern to the officials here,
and it is said that any attempt to thus
completely isolate Americans and
other foreigners in the Mexican capi-
tai would result in quick action by the
United States to prevent IT,
Secretary Bryan had heard from
some of his agents that the line Of
communication was threatened. but it
was not clear whether the Interrupt
ton was to be expected as result Of
some decree Of the Huerta government
or from operations Of the revolution
lists, who have suddenly appeared in
some force in the difficult mountain
country lying between Vera Cruz and
the capital.
orders for the second division Of
the Atlantic fleet to return TO the
United states remain suspended leav-
ing practically half Of the fleets battle
ships off the coast of Mexico, and it
was said at the navy department today
that if the Mexican situation should
assume a more critical phase by the
time Admiral Badger, with the first
and fourth divisions Of the fleet, came
within a hundred miles Of Hampton
Roads. returning from the Mediter-
rancan sea cruise, at least some OF
these ships would be ordered to Mex

terranean December /.
