Mexico City, October 24.-Nothing
gardinE the exciting events at Vera
Cruz or the arrests OF the members OF
Hucrtas staff last night
1t is generally understood that Felix

he remains under the implied protec-
ton of the United States even though
he has not actually taken refuge in
tho consulate at Vera Cruz.
Much Importance is attached to the
conference of members of the diplo-
matte corps this afternoon in response
to the call Of the French minister. The

was the formulation of some plan by
which the United States government

Some informal talk followed this an
nouncement by tho President, and one
of the ENJOYS mentioned tho question
Of the dissolution of Congress. There

The dissolution OF Congress was
absolutely necessary on the part OF the
governments Congress was a hot bed
of rebellion. AT least fifty deputies
were already in the field with rebels.
and discriminating documents were

This statement was in n decidedly
different tone from ono Huerta issued
at 4. NJ. after long conference with
Sir Lionel Garden, the British ambas-
sador.
At that time he asserted he intended
TO rulo Mexico without interference
from any outside powers and in effect
warned all nations to keep hands off.
