Mexico and u. S.
At Breaking Point.

Mexico City, Nov 9.-Government
officials, foreign residents and the peo-
pie of Mexico realize that the rela-
tions between this country and the
United States are strained almost to
the breaking point but there is per-
haps no man in the entire republic,
who knows, tonight, what Washing
ton will do, tomorrow.
John Lind, himself, who represents
the President of the United States is
ignorant of the intentions of his chief,
and if General Huerta is anxious at
all regarding what may develop he
does not betray it.
Although he has sent to the diplo-
matte representatives of the foreign
nations note which in effect is de-
ffianee of Washington, he was eonspic-
uous in the cafes about town long aft
er the midnight hour and, today, was
in the company of his military friends.
His formal statement to the diplo-
mats, General Huerta said, that it was
now foreseen that the recent elections
were null, as too few precincts had
participated in the voting and that
therefore the new Congress would an
null the elections. New elections would
then be called and he would continue
his program of pacification.
More uneasiness is apparent at the
American embassy, than at the Ma
tional Palace. At the palace, the
opinion was freely expressed, not in
frequently accompanied by sneers
that the United States would never
intervene in Mexico.
Mr. Lind expressed the view that a
waiting policy would not be continued
for many days.
At the American embassy, it was
regarded as logical that Washington,
perhaps, tomorrow, will furnish vital
developments in the relations between
the two countries. This assumtion is
based on the Washington note to Gen.
Huerta, in which Huerta is assured
that refusal to comply with the Amer
lean demands will result in President
Wilson'S applying to Congress Tor
mower to use sterner methods and the
threat to place a time limit. on
Huerta's continuance in office.
Opinion in Mexico is widely diver
gent as to what Washington's attl-
tude will be now. In some quarters
it is thought President Wilson may
recommend neither intervention nor
direct assistance of the rebels. by
means of recognition of their belliger-
anev. but that he may issue note to
the power, setting forth that here
after the United States VIII REGARD
Mexico as non-existing nation ana
repudiate all her acts. whether alleg-
edlv legal or otherwise.
OF these three courses, the Next
can officials most fear perhaps the lat
ter two, realizing that either would
materially strengthen the rebel cause
Intervention, it is believed by ma
ioritv of those in the capital, foreign
ers as well as Mexicans, would be
much more merciful and humane
method of restoring order. 1t is point
ed out that strengthening the rebel
cause would almost certainly mean the
subsection of Mexico City to o Ions
and terrible siege.
