HUERTA MAY YIELD.
His Official Family Anxious to Reopen
 Negotiations.

Mexico City, Nov. 13.-Members of President Huerta's official family arc working diligently for the reopening of the negotiations. and claim to have the consent of General Huerta to make concessions which they believe will be satisfactory to the United States.
 The Mexican minister of the ints- riOr, Manuel Carza Aldape saw Nelson 'Shaughnessy, the American charge d'affalres, late today and appealed to him to do all in his power to induce his government to withhold action until the Mexican officials could com- municate with MT. Lind, now at Vera Cruz. He based his appeal on the alle- gation that they were unable yester- day to get in touch with General Huerta in order to present to him MT. Lind's communication.
 The American charge could give the minister little assurance. Senor AL dape asked if Mr. Lind could be per suaded to return to the capital, or fail- ing that, if representative of the government might not go to Vera Cruz and confer with MT. Lind.
 Mir. O'Shaughnessy expressed the opinion that either course would be useless. In the end they agreed to present the case to President Wilson, embodying the representations of Pres an appeal for postponement of action directed at lifting the embargo on arms and ammunation, or such other action as had been decided upon.
 It Is believed that General Huerta, through his counselIors, proposes to present a plan something In the nature of a substitute. He is said to be recon ciled to the idea of resigning from the presidency but wants to submit his resignation to the new congress, the body which President Wilson, through Mr. Lind. has declared must not con- Vene
