HUERTA ANNOUNCES HE
WILL ASSUME POWER

Mecixo City, Oct. 1S.-Provisional
President Huerta issued today a de-
cree to the effect that he has assumed
all powers hitherto vested in the Mex
lean congress, suspended by him last
week.
Military. financial and domestic af-
fairs, he said, he would handle him
self but the department Of justice
will be allowed TO continue in au-
thority so long as 1t interferes with
none Of his DEGREES.
Huerta suspended the constitution,
In SO far as II exempts members OF
congress from arrest and declared
himself the supreme power in the
country. The decree amounted to
the declaration Of dictatorship,
modified only by promise that
Huerta will render an account OF his
actions to the government to be
elected October 26
Mexico City, Oct. l3.--Indications
today were that Provisional President
Huerta did not overestimate his
strength last week when he arrested
the members Of the chamber of depu-
ties in a body, with the exception Of
the Catholic party delegation, and
locked them up pending the election
October 26.
II was the general opinion that
trouble would have followed at once,
If at all. Huerta had his military
preparations so thoroughly made,
however, that no one dared TO stir
at the time, and today feeling over
the deputies arrest had subsided.
The troops we're still everywhere In
evidence, but otherwise the city had
resumed its normal appearance.
The affair, indeed, did not at any
time cause anything like the sensa-
ton such an incident would have
created in a community accustomed
to real democracy
Many Mexicans have wondered all
along why the provisional president
did not take some such step. II was
the general opinion that what Huerta
has most TO fear is some complication
growing out OF the diplomatic corps
expected call on him to explain the
deputies arrest. The thing being an
accomplished fact, however, II SEEM
ed likely he would manage somehow
to smoothe matters over until after
election, at which 1t was assumed he
would see that the presidency is
turned over to ex-Foreign Minister
Gamboa, whom everyone believes is
thoroughly under Huerta's domina-
tion.
That Senator Dominguez, who dis
appeared after attacking Huerta in
a speech in the upper house and into
whose case the deputies were under
taking to investigate when they we're
arrested, has been killed there was
little doubt felt. Rumors that three
OF the deputies have also been shot
were not much credited. II did not
seem likely, It was thought, that
Huerta would aggrevate the situation
by such a step so long as he has
things as well in hand as today.
The army, to all appearances, IS
loyal TO Huerta. His friends have
advised Felix Diaz to remain in Ha-
vana, II is stated here, as his pre-
sence here might prsclpitate an up
rising. That Porfirio Diaz was not
on his way to Mexico is also stated
here.

END OF REVOLUTION

fict with the rebels raiding the coun-
try and the Federals holding the towns.
Both the rebels and the Federal gov
ernment are doing their best to picture
the future in the brightest colors, but
there Is doubt that either side Is able,
from financial standpoint, to carry
on the campaign as outlined. The
government is working hard to obtain
n loan and is assuring the public that
1t will soon have it, but in the mean
time the rebels are steadily increasing
their scope of operations.
The States Of Morelos and Guerrero
are In the worst condition, There are
risings In OaXaca and Tabasco, but
there are reasons to believe these are
mostly Of a local character. In Guer-
rero the government for the present
must be content to hold the larger
towns.
The campaign most resembling ag-
Sressiveness is being waged by Cen
eral Robles in the State of Morelos
where the adherents OF Zapata have
been meeting him more than half way.
This campaign is characterized by
barbarities on the part OF the rebels
and strict adherence to the policy OF
