met Discuss Mexican Situation
Proclamation Issued by
the Dictator.

Mexico City, Mex, Oct. 15.-An ear.
" answer will be made by the Mexi-
can government to the communication
from Washington declaring the United
States would look with displeasure
upon any injury to the Mexican depu-
ties under arrest, according to the
Mexican foreign minister, Querido
Moheno. 1t was the subject of a
cabinet meeting which lasted until an
early hour In the morning.
The reply probably will be deliv-
cred to Nelson O'Shaughnessy, Ameri-
can charge d'affaires. Neither Mr.
OShaughnessy nor Foreign Minister
Moheno would discuss the note, but
Senior Moheno described it as "intem,
perate."
At the conclusion Of the cabinet
meeting Senior Moheao admitted the
receipt of the communication, saying:
This incident marks new epoch
in our diplomatic relations with the
United States. The conduct OF the
American charge d'affaires has been
courteous and he was not responsible
for the Incorporate language of his
government"
further conference OF ministers
was held to discuss the nature Of the
Mexican reply.

The United States at present has
three warships In the Gulf of Mexico
