City, because of the virtual srbrn by
Huerta of the ultimatum of the Unit
ed States is considered the final blow
to hopes Of peaceful negotiations be

President Wilson and Secretary o
State Bryan, maintaining their polio,
of reserve. have made no common
on Lind's departure. according to thu
news that comes to Mexico City, no
any definite announcement as to ac-
ton by the United States in regard
to Mexican affairs However it
promised that they will issue withiu
a few days a statement setting fort
their policy.
1t is believed that this statemen

President Wilson to the United States
1t will clearly define the attitude AMI
the contemplated action of the Unit
ed States Government. 1t will re.
iterate the declaration that the Unit
ed States will never recognize a gov
eminent established by arbitrary
force. 1t will set forth as well thu
reasons for the refusal by the United
States to recognize any acts Of the
new Congress of Mexico
Huerta Sorry Figure.
Huerta is a pitiful spectacle. He Is
seen in public only in places of the
widest gayety. He is given to strange
disappearances, and twice during the
last week his closest friends thought
he had fled, only to find that he had
stolen away by himself for a period
of moody seclusion. He is a broken
figure
Many of his friends there are who
openly urge him to resign. To these
suggestions he replies CURLY, savage
ly, but he follows these outbursts by
periods of sullen silence.
Huerta was given until to-day to
decide upon his answer to the United
States. The first message demanded
an answer the same day. Failing
to receive a reply, Envoy Lind left
Mexico. Then ne sent from Vera.
Cruz the absolute declaration that
only until Saturday would be vouch-
safed the provisional President in
which to comply with the demands
of the Washington authorities.
The respite was granted mainly be-
cause Of thee intercession of the
friends of the dictator, who assured
Lind that he could not be reached,
and that he had not been given time
to consider the demands 1t is said
he will try to proffer a compromise.
The ultimatum of the American
Government bears the alternative OF
an immediate blockade OF Mexican
ports by battleships of the United
States.
The Ultimatum of u. S.
The main specification of Washing
toms ultlmatum. delivered to Huerta
through Charge d'Affaires O'Shaugh-.
Messy and less directly through John
Lind, was that the dictator prevent

vening, and at the same time makS
this action known to the members OF
the diplomatic corps Of the United
States and other governments.
The prevention Of the assembly OF
Congress has been one of the essential
points in the negotiations between
Washington and Mexico City. It was
so regarded because it was believed
that the new Congress would imme-.
