HUERTA MAKES NO REPLY.
WILSON NOTE GENERALLY RE-
GARDED AS ULTIMATUM,
Provisional President Keeps Firm
Grasp on Rcins of Power and Gives
No IntimatiOn of Action He Will
Take or What Reply He Will Make
to Washington.

Mexico City, Nov. 4.-The under
current of conversation at the Ma
tional palace tonight carried rumors
regarding President Huerta's attitude
in the face of Washington's demands
that he retire, but the president him
self preserved an enigmatical re.
serve.
Huerta's intimates are familiar with
the terms of the Communication.
which they regard as practically
mandatory. The memorandum from
the administration at Washington
states that unless Gen. Huerta retired
Immediately and thereafter has noth-
ing to do with the conduct of affairs
or the formation of a new government
the president Of the United States will
issue an ultimatum, which if re
jected, will cause him to call upon
congress to authorize him to use
sterner methods. The language used
caused Huerta's friends to regard the
American communication in itself as
conclusive, since Gen. Huerta is given
no choice regarding further participa-
ton in MexicO's official affairs.
In the memorandum it is impressed
upon Gen. Huerta that his retirement
from the presidency and on-interfer-
ence on his part are the only steps
which will be acceptable to the Amer
lean government. He is pointedly re-
minded that any attempt upon his
part to leave as his successor any of
the men connected with the
manoeuvre by which he obtained the
presidency, or to utilize in the pro-
posed government any Of those chosen
In the recent elections. even those
named as congressman, would result
in the definite breaking off of all re-
latiOns.
1T is suggested that Gen. Huerta be
succeeded by some man or by some
small group of men temporarily who
will conduct the affairs Of government
somewhat on the line Of a. commits
sion form Of government, and that it
be understood that this man or grou,,
OF men shall Immediately take steps
to call new elections for the purpose
of establishing a permanent govern
ment.
Gen. Huerta Is reminded that the
United States is anxious 70 avoid
trouble, as much for the welfare of
Mexico as to preserve peace. He is
urged Immediately to abandon power,
since the American government, it is
indicated, will tolerate 20 further
temporizing.
The report that Washington had
sent a new communication to Huerta
spread throughout the city, but
aroused only casual interest. The spe.
cial cabinet meeting called by the
president for today was not held.
This is taken as an indication that he
is not yet ready to discuss the Wash
ington demands with his minister's

Sid- ney having nothing more heroic to do at the time. climbed up the buckets of the Caisson dredge at the mouth of Snake river and placed his tongue to an iron portion of the machine. The iron and tongue became welded inn mediately by the frost. Sidney wrig- gled so much with his lips to free his tongue that his whole mouth got frozen to the iron. While he was pasted on he was unable to shout but he got in some fine leg work and his struggles were seen by Charles Brown. MT.
