NO THREAT MADE
IN NOTE TO HUERTA
United States Not in Position
Where Use of Force Is
Only Course.
LETTING OF EMBARGO ON :
ARMS NOW BEING URGED
Belief Growing That Assistance to
Rebels Will Be Presidents
Next Step.

The administration representations =.
President Huerta a few days ago were
not such as TO place this country in the
attitude OF being compelled TO use force
III Mexico, but on the contrary were such
as 10 permit other methods To be resort
ed 10 that VIII avoid Intervention
II was learned today from an inside
source that Huerta was informed that
| II he had the good OF Mexico at heart,
really desired 10 see his people prosper
Gus and al peace with each other, sim
cerely wanted government that would
be recognized by the United States and
! other powers as stable. he could not ex-
pect such recognition from the United
States SO long he remained as pro-
yisional president
There was absolutely no ultimatum
that he must get out. and. as plainly
stated by President Nilsson today. no .im-
/ 1t was fixed upon his gong lie was
| mercy given 10 understand that if he
should stay as provisional president tins
country would repudlatc him and his
actions and seek To nave the wUrla fol-
low tins lead as branding him the ype of
man unnt to hoid sway over a neigh
| boring republic.
MOI z Threat Oh orce.
! The representation was such. it is posi-
| lively known, as not To be construed as a
1 threat from the United States and as not
| calling Tor Intervention should huerta
| ignore it or fail To comply with its sus
! geStions.
| IL Is further known today that the
| tendency OF the administrator and OF
suen congressional leaders as are fairly
| familiar with the lacIs Is in the dllec-
| ton OF removing the embargo upon the
! expectation ol arms so tnaL the con-
stltutionaIiSts- may OBTAIN supplies OF
| ammunition and arms and OF notifying
| the world that the United States does
!, not regard any government as existing
| in Mexico ana as repud lating ali acts
| py the Huerta faction IN tnat coun-
/ try.
| The belief is that the majority of the
| Mexican people. finally understanding
| che world measure OF Huerta, would
| Join against him and destroy MIN. set
] Ting up a government tnat would be-
recognized by TINS country and all
other countries.
Next Step Not Shaped.
President Wilson talked somewhat
frankly upon the Mexican situation with
visitors today. but impaired little beyond
confirmation of already known facts. Not

! toward Mexico developed. Mr.. Wilson, in
| fact, admitting that he has nothing ia

| resentations maze to Huerta. The PreSi-
| dent admitted that 'dennte representa-
| tons had been made By this govern
ment, the first admission of tins kind

Foreign Governments Advised.

/ advised this goVednmeat that he thinks
negotiations with Mexico should be

! Lind is in Mexico TO forward inforfna-
| ton and not to make recommendations.
| He has not made recommendations.
| The President depiores the sensational
news stories OF the relations between
this country and Mexico He has told
| his newspaper friends that by repre-
| sentin1 things as more serious than
| they really are they are forcing danger
into the whole situation and embarrass-
| ing him in his efforts to bring about "a
| satisfactory settlement. The news
papers. the President said. go much fur
/ thsr than the administration has gone.
| Later Il copy OF Huerta's note to the
diplomats was received at the State De
parrment from Mr.. O'Shaughnessy. Sec
! retars Bryan would not comment upon IL
| further than TO say last nights dispatches
from Mexico City described it accurately.
! News Not Warlike
The entire tenor of the news. both in
Mexico City and here, today was Of
unwarlike character, but since Gen.
Huerta has shown again his determine
| ton not to get out, at least al present.
and since President Wilson has again
shown his determination that he shall get
out the spirit rather than the fact Of the
news was looked upon in official circles
as more encouraging.
Perez Romero. brother-in-iaw of the
late President Madero, who has been act
ing as Gen carranzas confidential agent
here Tor several months, left today tor
Hermosillo to join Gen. carranza. Rob-
efto Pesqueira has been left here as Gen.
Carranzats confidential agent
F,xpression OF confidence, which may
be construed into an appea! to the nited
States and other nations to Keep hands
off that no obstacles viii be interposed
in the Mexican situation to prevent the
Mexican government Of President Huerta
from dealing with conditions and pro-
ceeding legally and constitutionaliy to
the choice OF a new administration to
succeed him. Notwithstanding the pros
