President Huerta has assured the
American charge, Nelson O'Shaugh-
messy, that no violence will be done
the imprisoned deputies. The .Ameri1
can charge met the president by
chance, and in the course of the con-
versation warned him of the baneful
effect which would be produced
throughout the civilized world should

Berlin, Oct. 15.-The foreign office
decided Monday night that the situa-
ton in Mexico was such as to neces-
state the presence Of German war

used as school ship, probably will be

Washington. Oct. 15.-Telegrams
from Charge O'Shaughnessy to the,
state department brought confirmation
of the death of Senator Dominguez,
whose body was found in the woods
of the suburbs of the Mexican capital
Saturday.
He was arrested upon Huerta's or
der in September for delivering
fiery speech in the Mexican senate. He
disappeared soon after his arrest.
President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan regard the assassination OF Sen
ator Dominguez as parallel with that
of former President Madero. The
news was astounding and dazed the
president and secretary Of state.
Both believe that Senator Domlnguez
was murdered because Of his political
stand and, while they have no proof,
they feel that Huerta is at the bottom
of the murder. es
A telegram received at the state
department states that no harm has
yet befallen the hundred deputies, all
of whom still are in prison. The dis
patch did not indicate possibility OF
their being released any time soon.
Mr. O'Shaughnessy repeated his
warning that the deputies stand In
imminent danger of losing their lives
because of their political faith and
the fact that they oppose the admin
istration of President Huerta. n4

tween Secretary Bryan and President
Wilson relative to Charge OSkaugh-
nessy's message it was announced at
the White House that kilograms had
been dispatched to both John Lind at
Vera Cruz and Charge OShaughnessy
at Mexico City to make representa-
tons to the Huerta government that
the United States would look with
displeasure upon any injury to the
Mexican deputies now under arrest.
Germany's decision to dispatch
warship to Mexican waters attracted
wide attention in official circles here.
No intimation had been received here
of Germany's intention and President
Wilson was informed only by press
dispatches of the action.
President Huerta has been given to
understand, in the most positive man
ner, that the putting to. death of any
of the members of the chamber of
deputies, now in confinement by his
orders, will be regarded with extreme
disfavorg by the government of the
