tons made by Washington to Gener
al Huerta. The newspapers here
have printed only denials of the re
ports from the United States until to
day when they partially confirmed
them. The Herald, the only Englisf
daily newspaper, published "a dispatci
from Vera Cruz. stating that Johr
Lind, the personal representative O.
President Wilson, had confirmed the
reports of certain indications being
made by Washington to Mexico"
Notwithstanding the necessary pre-
cautions surrounding the transmission
by Nelson O'Shaughnessy, American
charge daffaires, of the Washington
dispatch, enough has leaked out here
to fill the city with rumors and end
less speculation today. as to what
General Huerta's course Of action will
be.
Opinion generally is in line with the
unofficial information obtainable at
the national palace last night that
General Huerta intends to refuse com.
pliance with the United States de-
mands, but will proceed with the pro-
gram he has been following of re-or.
ganizing the Mexican congress and
abiding by the finding of that body
relative to the recent elections, sim
ultaneously ignoring Washington's
warning that the new congress will
not be countenanced.
The purposes Of General Huerta
were voiced this morning by person
who is close to the provisional presi-
dent. The president is determined to
reject all the demands set forth in the
latest American communication and
is resolved to seat the congress just
elected
If congress, however, declares the
recent presidential election null and
void and makes arrangements for an
other election, General Huerta would
be disposed to abide by this decision
and submit to the peoples choice of
a man who would occupy the presi-
dency until the autumn of 1916.
