Under Present Mexican Re gime Action of Huerta in Arresting Mexican Con gressmen Destroys Last Nestige of Hope
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPArcHl

WASHINGTON, Oct. 11-Although the latest advices to the state depart ment tonight declared that the depu- ties arrested by order of Provisional President Huerta were released from prison. the dissolution of the Mexican congress and invasion of the legisla- tive halls by armed troops caused the Washington government practically to lose all hope of seeing a constitutional election held october 26. or of pacifica- tion in the country brought about through the authorities in power at present in Mexico City. A crisis is ex- pected in the Mexican capital Xvi dence that the federal troops are dis gruntled and on the verge of mutiny because they have not been paid and the comparative easy successes of the constitutionalists in capturing such inn pOrtant places as Torreon, were signi- ficantly referred Co by Washington of ficials as revelations of the real situa- tion No official pronouncement of policy was made today but the Ameri- can government is quietly preparinr for any emergency which may arise The dissolution of congress by force Is plainly looked upon here is an uncon- stitutionaI act.
 In spite of the fact, that the proc lamation continues. the executive has intervened with good offices repeated Iy in order to prevent clashes between the chamber and other branches of the government and has carried prudence and good will to the extreme by going repeatedly to ask the deputies to re- consider their illegal acts. his tolerance resulted in nothing further than obtain ing additional proof that the body is decidedly of a dissolutionist and revo- lutfOnarv character and was re solved to finish with the executive power by whatever means possible without careing what gravest possible consequences might be entailed by such conduct"
 In a separate proclamation addressed to the Mexican people, the president said the deputies have shown syste- matic implacable hostility toward each and all of his deputies. The depu-

The Vol turnO was well equipped with boats sufficient the agents say, for q thou sand people but the boisterous sea or lack of boat drill or panic among the passengers prevented their suc- cessful employment The rescue ships were able to lower Iifeboats, but ap- parently most of the boats launched from the NOlturnO were smashed or upset and the occupants drowned Two of the boats. crowded with pas sengers, were reported to have got away from the ship. but a search for them was fruitless and they are practically given up as lost so the occupants of these boats are included in the death roll.
 The steamer Carmania. bound from New York for Liverpool, was sev- enty eight miles away when the call for help sounded. Captain Barr, or dering full steam in spite of the gale, drove through the seas at twenty knots an hour and was the first Of the fleet to reach the burning yes sel. He was followed by the La TOuraine, Minneapolis, Rappahannock, Czar, Narragansett, Levonian, KrOOm- land, Grosser Kurfuerest and Seyd- litz at various hours throughout the day. But try as they might the res cuing vessels could not get a line or life boat to the VOlturno. the for ward part of which was almost hid den by dense clouds of smoke when the Carmania arrived
 The burning steamer lay in the trough of the sea, pounding helpless ly with propellers fouled by boat tackle. Terrified passengers hud- dled together as far as they could get from the flames, while through out the day officers and crew fought desperately with whatever appli- ances were at hand to hold the fire in check. But night came on and the seas only abated slightly The hOpelessness of the situation was

 The report that Mazatlan's water supply was cut off by the rebels is verified. The inhabitants of the be- sieged city now procure drinking water from shallow wells
 None of those aboard the Benito Ju- arez ventured a guess when the siege of Mazatlan would end, the federaIs be- ing strongly situated on the inside and the rebels being equally strong on the outside.
