Our grand president, now unem-

firm than prophyry or bronze.

Mr.. OShaughnessy shortly before
noon said he had received no indica-

close the American embassy here. He
appeared to have abandoned hope of
any renewal of negotiations with the
Mexican government.
Huerta Minister Leaves.
Vera Cruz, Mex, Nov. 17.--Elght
American families arrived here from
Mexico City this morning, and report
ed that d general exodus was begin
ming. Many more are expected to-
night and a still greater number to-
morrow morning.
Manuel Gala Aldape, who recently
resigned the ministry of the interior in
the cabinet, arrived here this morn
ing from Mexico City and boarded the
steamer Espagne. accompanied by his
wife and children. He was escorted
from the quay by the local officials.
In reply to questions he would only
say he was proceeding to Paris to take
up his duties as Mexican minister to
France.
What doubt remained regarding Cen
eral Huerta's intentions with respect
to compliance with the American de-
mands for his own elimination was
removed from the minds of most Mex
leans and foreign residents. by his
peremptory dismissal yesterday of
Manuel Cara Adalpe, the minister of
Interior. who WAS looked upon as the
head of Huerta's cabinet.
Adalpe led that group of the cabi-
net which held the conviction that it
would be best to accede to that por-
ton, at least, of Washington's de-
mands which meant the total aban-
donment of power by the provisional
president, and he is said to have been
the only one with sufficient courage
to discuss the international situation
frankly with his chief.
It was he who called at the Ameri-
can embassy recently, and induced
Nelson O'Shaughnessy, the charge
d'affaires, to send to Washington his
appeal for reopening of the negotja-
tions. Senor Adalpe's resignation
was demanded at cabinet meeting
at President HuertaA house early this
morning. Huerta is said to have re-
iterated at this meeting the statement
that he would not resign, that with
him it was a case of life or death, and
he was disposed to play out the game.
Certain intimate friends of General
Huerta have been indicating to him,
it is said, for some time, that the min.
lister of the interior was intriguing for
the presidency and that the cabinet
who opposed Adalpe included Quer
lido Moheno. minister of foreign af'
fairs: Aurelio Banquet, minister OF
war; and Jose Maria Lozano minister
of fomento.
1t is stated authoritatively that
these three ministers assured General
Huerta that unless the minister of
the interior was removed they would
resign. Manuel Garza Adalpe was
designated tonight by the provisional
president to go to Europe in fulfill
ment of some undetermined special
mission. Senor Adalpe's friends think
it possible that he may be named to
succeed Francisco de la Barra as
minister to France.
Senior de la Barra has been ordered
to Japan as special ambassador to
present the thanks of the Mexican
government for the participation OF
Japan in the centennial festivities
under Porfirio Diaz in 1910. 1t was
on this mission that General Felix
Diaz was proceeding when he decided
to return to Mexico to take part in
the elections.
