He promises later to give Congress
a detailed report of his acts in con-
nection with the taking over of the
direction of the departments of fl

Congress is informed that if it con-
siders the presidents acts as honest
patriotic and of service, it will give
him its supreme sanction. But if not,
it is invited to place the responsibility
on him who deserved it, with assur-
ance that neither the president nor
any of his secretaries will evade any
responsibility, since all had agreed to
any sacrifice necessary in behalf of
the welfare of the country.

sion of the hope that soon all Mexi-
cans may be united and that all may
join in the task of national reconstruc-
ton.
Attention is called to the alleged
lack of harmony existing between the
executive and judiciary on the one
hand, and the Chamber of Deputies on
the other prior to the dissolution,
charging that the chamber attempted
to Illustrate the executive.
Why He Jailed Congress.
The message also explains that the
executive did all in his power to pre-
vent rupture and to maintain good
relations with Congress, yielding in
more than one instance and attempt
ing in many ways to bring about a
more cordial feeling of cooperation.
According to General Huerta's mes
sage Congress became, in fact, the
center of revolutionary activity, sort
of open agency for northern rebels en-
gagged with arms in slaughter and pill
lage, and, what is worse still, in the
task of bleeding the fatherland, to eX-
pose it in it's weakness and poverty to
danger from abroad took an attitude
of opposition against the government
in the work it was attempting and
invaded aggressively not only the
province of the judicial power, but
also that of the executive in order to
second in this manner the nefarious
activity of the rebels"
General Huerta says that he chose
not to vacillate under these conditions
and resorted at last to the extreme
measure of dissolving Congress, using
the necessary rigor to face such deli
cate situation, and called new cleo
lions.
Defending his action, General Huer-
ia says it always will be a noble act
and argues that in any case it is pre-
ferable to save the nation, even at the
sacrifice of principles, than to pre-
serve intact, at the expense of the
people, the rigid, inert precept of JUS

Interested In New Congress.

Washington, Nov 2O.-While on the
surface there was lull in the negotia-
lions between the Huerta government
and the United States, it was apparent
that messages were passing to and
from Charge O'Shaughnessy paving
the way for future steps by the United
States. 1t was said by high officials
that the apparent delay was justified,
but the circumstances were not re-
vealed.
The meeting today of the Huerta
Congress was awaited with much in
terest, and it is thought possible here
that the next move may be based on
action taken by that Congress. 1t has
been expected that the Congress would
nullify the recent presidential election
and arrange for future election and
perhaps vote on certain concessions.
Such action, in view of the announce
ment of the American government that
it would not recognize any acts of the
Mexican Congress might move the sit
uation a step further.
The recent parleys between Carran-
"a and William Bayard Hale at No
gales are still cloaked in secrecy. Of
ficials minimize the Importance of these
negotiations. The fact that they have
been ended was regarded here as
meaning merely that Mr.. Hale had OBJ
tanned all the information desired
tionalist chiefs, their program and pur-
poses.
The attitude of high officials is to
place more stress on the affairs at
Mexico City, as it is pointed out that
negotiations of a very definite 'charac-
ter with the Constituencies could
only be of value after Huerta had been
eliminated.
Welcome British Move.
News that three big British cruisers
had been ordered to proceed from West
Indian ports to Vera Cruz created
some eminent in official circles,
where it was recalled that recent Lon
don dispatches had indicated that the
British government would intrust the
interests of their subjects in Mexico to
the United States. 1t was pointed out
however, that the Washington govern
ment had welcomed the appearance OF
foreign warships in Mexican waters
and that the gathering of British, Ger
man, Japanese and French vessels of
the coast might indicate to Gen. Huer
ia a growing lack of confidence on the
part of the powers in his ability longer
to maintain himself and insure the
safety of foreigners in Mexico.
Army reports greatly minimize the
strength of the contending forces al
Juarez last week, indicating that Vii
las rebel command did not exceed /,
500, while the Federal garrison was
only about 600 strong.
The staff officers are inclined to be
lieve that the apparently surprising
apathy of the Federal commanders II
Northern Mexico can be explained only
upon the theory that they are endeav
oring to take the rebels by surprise
and will Unexpectedly appear in grea
force at some point where they expec
