Mexico City, Nov. 1S-Manuel Gar
"a Aldape. minister of the interior,
who has taken the lead among the
cabinet members In the effort to re-
open negotiations with the United
States which were closed by the de-
parture of Special Envoy Lind, was
forced out Of Huertas cabinet on
Sunday
1t was learned that the American
charge, O'Shaughnessy, had seen
President Huerta and from the presi-
dent himself had learned that he
would not resign and would listen only
to such proposals as were compatible
with his own dignity and that of his
country.
The American embassy denied the
truth of report that Mr.. O'Shauhnes.
sy had been recalled. 1t had been ru-
mored he would leave for Vera Cruz.
He declined to discuss It.
Aldape led that group of the cabinet
which held the conviction that it would
be best to accede to at least that por-
ton of Washington's demands which
meant the total abandonment of power
by the provisional president, and Al
dape is said to have been the only
one with sufficient courage to discuss
the international situation with his
chief.
1t was he who called at the Ameri-
can embassy recently and induced
Nelson 'Shaughnessy, the charge
d'affaires. to send to Washington his
appeal for the reopening of the negoti-
atoms. Senior Aldape's resignation
was demanded at cabinet meeting at
President Huerta's house on Sunday.
Huerta is said to have reiterated at
this meeting the statement that he
would not resign, that with him it was
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 cabl-
net had become divided into camps.
1t Is stated authoritatively that
three ministers assured General Huer-
Ia that unless the minister of the In
terror was removed they would resign.
Senor Aldape left Sunday night for
Vera Cruz. On the train with him
we're 200 soldiers. 1t was announced
that his destination is France.
Senior Aldape was the last remain
ing cabinet officer appointed by agree
ment between President Huerta and
Gen. Felix Diaz at the close of the
days battle in the capital in Febru-
airy.
The British minister. Sir Lionel
Garden. explained that his instruc-
tions to British residents In Mexico
were not in the nature of an order TO
leave their places of residence, except
in the case of those located in more
accessible towns. 1t was simply
precautionary measure intended to
prepare them in the event circum.
stances should demand their removal
