May End Dealings.
In all likelihood yesterdays events
mean the end OF any dealings with the
Huerta officials. Tho there was much
talk in official circles of lifting the
embargo ON arms and permitting the
constitutionalists to get their muni-
tions Of war with which they claim they
can soon overthrow the Huerta ad-
ministration. It - likely that such a
policy win sbe carefully considered In
the senate pAeore any action IL taken.
The position taken by the admin
stration was that the United States
had dona al that Q friendly neighboz
could do. without actually using force
They pointed out that from the begin
ming Of the trouble In Mexico the United
States has had but two alternatives
friendly mSdiAtiops Or armed interven-
tion. No senttmee1t exists In this coun-
try to Justly Intervention OF war

Consider Renewing Americans.
The only interest. 1t was pointed out
thak the United States can have In
MEXICO 10 the protection Of lives and
property. Financial losses can be met
by indemnities. It IL believed here. and
lives can best be protected by the, with
drawaI Of Americana from the danger
zone. To this end officials are con-
sidering the removal Of Americans and
the payment Of transportation for the
destitute.
A strong sentiment In favor Of giving
the constitutionalists arms on an
equality with the Huerta faction exists
in the senate. President Wilson Is said
to be opposed to such q measure, as II
is not move in the direction Of peace
but he has not finally made up his
mind on the subject.
