CABINET HOLDS SESSION
CONSIDERS PROBLEMS OF MEN-
CAN SITUATION.
What Shall Z. S. Do in Event Huerta
Refuses to Resign Furnishes Chief
Topic Of Meeting.

What shall the United States do in
the event Provisional President Huer-
ia refuses to resign? This question
Friday was discussed at length in
the Cabinet meeting, but no decision
was announced. Formal reply to
the latest American representations
had not been received and until a
definite answer comes it is not expect
ed there will be a determination OF
the policy to be pursued.
The discussion at the Cabinet meet
ing turned, however, to various alter
natives. Nothing concrete develop
ed, it was said, nor were there any
angible conclusions, but members
went away with fixed ideas Of the de-
termination Of President Wilson that
the American government unwaVer-
ingly should insist upon the elimina-
ton Of Huerta from the situation as
the first step toward peace in the
Southern Republic.
Lifting the embargo on arms so
that the Constitutionalists may OBJ
tain munitions OF war was one Of the
principal subjects taken under con-
sideration, but as yet there Is no
change in the neutrality attitude OF
the Washington government. Press
dispatches announcing Huerta's pur-
pose Of rejecting the American de-
mands made no impression on gov
eminent officials. They had received
no official communication to that ef-
feet and would not comment, they
said, until they had received Official
notice.
A hopefulness that Huerta would
realize the certainty Of future compli-
cations and eliminate himself from
the situation was expressed by some
officials, but there was no information
available to indicate upon what such
optomism might be based. Dis
patches from Berlin, stating that Ger
many would consider a movement to
bring the Powers into support Of the
American policy only If such step
was desired by the Washington gov
ernment led to the belief in many
quarters that such a movement yet
might be developed in the situation
to convince Huerta Of the force of
the American viewpoint.

BACK TO OLD SHIP
Orgon Men Want to Serve on Canal
Voyage Of the Vessel

Fifty former members Of the crew
of the famous old battleship Oregon
have petitioned the secretary OF the
navy for permission to enlist for pc
riod Of so or 80 days when the ship is
sent through the new canal in 1915.
These men live in and around San
Francisco and all are desirious OF
again treading the decks Of the war
ship on which they made the forced
run from the Pacific to the Atlantic
in 1898 and arrived OF Cuba in time
to play an important part in the de-
structton Of the Spanish fleet. Inas-
much as the volunteers are now men
Of families some means will have to
be worked out to raise the funds for
the support Of their dependents in the
event of the limited enlistment being
granted.

HUERTA WILL NOT YIELD
DETERMINED TO REJECT ALL DE-
MaNDS MADE TO HIM
No Formal Answer Has As Yet Been
Made But Those Close to Mexican
President Say He Will Act Thus.

The purposes Of General Huerta
were voiced Thursday morning by a
person who is close to the provision
al President. The President, says
this friend, is determined to reject
all the demands set forth in the latest
United States communication and Is
resolved to seat the Congress just
elected.
II Congress, however, declares the
recent presidential election null and
makes arrangements for another cleo
ton, Gen. Huerta would be disposed
to abide by this decision and submit
to the peoples choice Of a man who
would occupy the Presidency until
the autmumn Of 1916.
There was still no indication at
Mexico City Thursday whether Huer-
ia would make a formal reply to the
communication to him by the United
States. The nature Of the memoran-
dunn is said to call for no other reply
than compliance. How long Wash
ington expects to wait for this COM
pliance after failing to receive YER
bal rejoinder IS a question which IS
greatly interesting the few at Mexico
City who are convinced Of the pas
sage Of the communication from the
United States government to the pro-
yisional President.
Mexico City itself Is still ignorant
Of the nature OF the new representa-
tions made by Washington to Gen.
Huerta. The newspapers have pr Mt
ed only denials Of the reports from
the United States until Thursday,
when they partially confirmed them.
The Herald, the only English daily
newspaper, published a dispatch from
Vera Cruz stating that John Lind, the
personal representative OF President
Wilson had confirmed the reports Of
certain indications being made by
Washington to Mexico"
Notwithstanding the necessary pre-
cautions surrounding the transmits
sion by Nelson O'Shaughnessy, Unit
ed States charge d'affaires, Of the
Washington dispatch enough has
leaked out to fill city OF Mexico with
rumors and endless speculation as to
what Gen. Huerta's course Of action
will be.
