Wilson Rebukes Huerta.
Washington, Oct. 15.-The United
States government informed President
Huerta Of Mexico that 1t looked with
abhorrence and amazement or his as
| sumption of both executive and legis-
lative powers, and that In view of his
course 1t could not regard as constitu-
| tional the elections planned for Octo-
Der 26.
Two notes were sent to Huerta, one
strongly phrased and written by Secre-
tary Bryan, inquiring about the safety
| of the imprisoned members of the
Mexican congress; the other drawn In
forceful language by President Wilson
himself and said to constitute proba-
bly, the last efforts Of the Washington
government to deal with the Huerta
authorities by diplomatic means un-
less there is a decided change Of
spirit on the part Of the officials in
Mexico City.
Upsets All Negotiations.
The negotiations through John Lind
had proceeded to the point where the
state department accepted the indorse-
ment of Federico Gamboasa for the
presidency as meaning discrimination
Of Huerta, and whereit was confident,
| " hoped that fair and free election
would be held October IS.
President Wilson has made 1t clear
now, however, that the Washington
government, with the events of the
last few days-the Imprisonment Of
the deputies and the establishment Of
dictatorship by Huerta-has lost all
hope Of seeing a constitutional cleo
tion held by the Huerta regime.
The battleships Rhode Island, Ne
braska, New Jersey and Virginia of the
third division of the Atlantic fleet will
leave Hampton Roads October 20 for
Mexican waters. They will be COM
manded by Rear Admiral Clifford J.
Boush en- route, but on arrival In the
Gulf of Mexico will be turned over to
Rear Admiral Fletcher
The steps taken by the United States
were formally communicated to all
foreign governments.
Read Huerta's DEGREES.
Huer:a's DEGREES proclaiming him.
self as In charge of the departments OF
interior, administration, finance and
war were received during the day and
the text was given out at the state de-
partment. The documents were read
at the cabinet meeting. Members of
the cabinet expressed themselves as
astonished at the audacity of Huerta.
They were apprised by President Will
son Of the nature of the two communi
cations sent to Huerta through Charge
O'Shaughnessy and all approved the
vigorous repres entations.
The cabinet meeting was about to
adjourn when press dispatches an
nounced that senor Querido Moheno.
Mexican minister of foreign affairs,
had characterized the American COM
muication as "intemperate."
Official Washington awaited the for
NAL reply being drafted by the Huerta
administration. Charge O'Shaughnes-
sy reported he had conveyed both COM
munications and had been assured
with respect to the imprisoned depu-
ties that no violence would be done
them, but that they would be tried for
sedition.
U. s. Note Ends Parleys.
1t is the second note of the Ameri-
can government, which is said to be
only $50 words long, practically break
ing of negotiations with Huerta,
which is believed to have prompted
Moheno's description "intemperate."
Administration officials hold that
with most of the members of the Mex
lean congress in Jail, a prominent
member of congress who dared to
speak adversely to the Huerta admin
istration still mysteriously concealed
and the congress dissolved, 1t is i'm
possible for the civilized world to be-
lieve that the Huerta group Is capable
of establishing o. maintaining consti-
tutional authority in the republic.
They feel also that the Huerta officials
are no longer deserving of such diplo-
matte relations as have exisetd.
There is no concrete evidence that
the Washington administration intends
to use drastic measures. The White
House has discouraged the heads of
the army and navy from taking steps
that would give an alarmist inDres-
