Dreadnaughts ACE
Mexican Watchers

VERA CRUZ, Nov. 6.--The agita.
tion here today caused Admiral
Fletcher to deny shore leave to all
oficers and men Of the American war
ahin 0ptilla. -,
nent wilson's special envoy to Mex
lco had confirmed the reported no.
tiNcation that Gen. Huerta must re-
ltnauish the provisional presidency
caused the renewed excitement.
Lind was silent today, but 1t was
said on good authority that ne ala
not confirm the report that President
Wilson sent Huerta an "ultimatum.
rSnd was quoted as saying that the
United States had verbally told Gen.
HuArta that he must resign and see
70 r. that he is not succeeded by any
OF his family or close advisers.
This. of course. was nothing new,
hut its repetition caused excitement
among the natives and the newspa-
perS here.
The United States now has seven
var craft here and the report that
two more vessels have been ordered
into Mexican waters made decided
impression on he Mexicans. Admiral
watcher has made the Rhode Island
his flagship instead OF the Louisiana.
The German warship Bremen to-
day anchored on Tampico. Her com.
mander sailed from here after con.
ference with Admiral Fletcher, and
II was reported that trouble had
broken out at Tampico, but this was
unconflrmed.

PARIS, Nov. 6.-The French TOR
eign once today emphatically denied
the report that Gen. Huerta. pro-
visional president OF Mexico. has
asked France to mediate In Mexico's
misund nderstanding with the United
States.
"France has not been asked to
mediate, either by Huerta, or any
other person or government" an ON

report Is absurd on It's face. There
II. ofYicially, no difference between
the tinted States and Mexico so
how could there be mediation by
foreign power?" :,
A diplomat in high standing said
that In his opinion the dozen or more
Mexican canards that are vexing the
Washington government In regard to
Mexico, have been circulated malici-
ously for the purpose Of creating an
international impression that Presi'
dent Wilson's Mexican policy 10 vacil-

"That is absurd" he said, because
the policy OF the United States TO-
