.HUERTA IS DOOMED, FOR
us, TIRES Of PARLEY|NG
AND IS READY To STRIKE
Arrogant Dictator VIII Either Fall
Before Invading Americans or
Be Removed by Those Mexicans
Who Seek to Restore Peace.
Envoy Lind's Departure From
Mexico City Seems To Be the
Final Blow to Hopes of Settle
ment Without a Clash at Arms.

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 15.--Huerta is
doomed. The menace OF Uncle Sans
power overshadows Mexico The die
tator maintains his stubborn defiance,
and the United States Government
has lost patience with him. There
will be no more parley as both John
Lind and Nelson 'Shaughnessy have
notified Huerta.
Whether the dictator will fall be
fore the force of American arms or
whether he will be removed by the
Mexicans themselves who desire
peace, will all depend upon develop
ments-the developments Of the next
few days. However 1t is Husrta will
be removed. The United States Gov
eminent, through its representatives
in the Mexican capital, has promised
that much with a determination that
Will not be gsinsaid.
Lind's Exit Is Final Blow.
John Lind's departure from Mexico
City. because of the virtual scorn by
Huerta Of the ultimatum of the Unit
ed States is considered the final blow
to hopes OF peaceful negotiations be-
! tween the dictator and the govern
ment at Washington.
President Wilson and Secretary OF
| State Bryan, maintaining their policy
/ of reserve have made no comment
on Lind's departure. according to the
news that comes to Mexico City, nor
any definite announcement as to ac-
ton by the United States in regard
to Mexican affairs. However, it is
promised that they will issue within
a few days a statement setting forth
| their policy
| 1t is believed that this statement
will take the form of message from
President Wilson to the United States
| 1t will clearly define the attitude and
| the contemplated action of the Unit
| ed States Government. II will re
| iterate the declaration that the Unit
ed States viii never recognize gov
eminent established by arbitrary
! force 1t will set forth as we'll the
! 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 gavety. He is given to strange
disappearance, and twice during the
last week his closest friends thought
he had fed, 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 he 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 the2 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
| tons ultimatum, delivered to Huerta
| through Charge d'Affalres O'Shaugh-
messy and less directly through SosA.
| Lind, was that the dictator preS-ss..
the newly elected Congress from con
| venlng, and at the same time make
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. 1t was
so regarded because 1t was believed
that the new Congress would imme-
diately upon converting pass meas
ures having to do with the OIL CON
