HEAVY RUNS SET IN
ON MEXICAN BANKS
Governments Promise Fails to
Check the Panic.

Mexico City, Nov. 1.-THE with
drawal of silver from the Bank of
London and Mexico and the National
bank have reached the proportions of
a formidable run. The lines of deposi-
tors for two days have extended from
the paying tellers' windows for several
blocks. Hundreds stood for hours and
departed Juggling heavy bags of silver,
These were the only banks that were
paying specie.
Ii is impossible to obtain an accu-
rate statement of the amount with
drawn at the close of business, but the
aggregate was large.
The runs continued, Notwithstanding
the announcement in the newspapers
that the government intended to order
the immediate coinage of 50,000.00O
pesos. There is doubt whether this
amount can be put out in time to salts
fly the public.
Everybody is boarding silver, and
stores will cash currency only at dis
count.

NO RESPONSE FROM HUERTa
Mexican President Ignores American
Demands.

Washington, Nov. 14.-The status OF
the Mexican situation may be summed
up substantially as follows:
The demands which the American
government made on the provisional
authorities at Mexico City have not
brought any response from Huerta or
those representing him.
The latest American demands call
upon Huerta for action which will pre-.
vent the meeting of the congress voted
upon at the election held on Oct 20,
and no rejoinder has been made to
that demand.
The unofiicia. negotiations which
William Bayard Hale is carrying for
ward with General Carranza have to
do principally with the embargo OF
arms
President Wilson prepared a state,
ment setting forth the attitude of the
United States, but it was not made
public as originally planned, but with.

late j p. Morgan. Among his other
business intimates was William X.

by three creditors with claims ag.
gregating the nominal sum of $661
The petition set forth that the firm s
liabilities amounted to $4,000, 900, with

was due to the withdrawal Of large de-
