Mexico City.-In a formal note TO

dwelling at length upon his reasons
for dissolving Congress, makes the di'
rect statement that the newly elected
Congress will be installed within a few
days and will pass upon the elections
OF the president and vice president
General Huerta reminds the diplo-
mats that prior to the elections he
told them that neither he nor General
Banquet would accept an election on
the ground that his own election would
be Illegal. and he calls to the Ntten,
ton OF the diplomatic representatives
to the conference which he had with the
presidential candidates, at which he
obtained their promise to abide by the
result of the elections, even should
nc one obtain the necessary number
of votes.
That the relations between the coun.
try and the United States are strained
almost to the point of war is realized,
but there is perhaps no man in the en-
tire. republic who knows what Wash.
ington will do.
John Lind himself, who represents
the president of the United States, is
ignorant Of the intentions of his chief
and if General Huerta is anxious at all
regarding what may develop he does
not betray it. Although he has sent to
