LONDON, Oct. 2s.-~i our corre~
spondent is In a position 10 deny au-
thoritatively the report from Paris
that Great Britain is trying TO induce
the continental powers to exercise
pressure on the United States with
reference to the Mexican situation.
Nothing Of the sort is being done,
nor is 1t contemplated, the corre-
spondent was informed last night. by
high government official.
Reports from Washington that Sir
Lionel Garden. British minister at
Mexico City. told President Huerta
that Great Britain desired that oam-
boa be president. are officially de-
MED here.
It is declared that EngIand's sole
aim Is identical with that Of the
eminent In Mexico--and that the only
point of divergence arises from the
fact that England recognized Huerta
temporarily. believing that he can
pacify the country, and that America
refuses 10 do so.
Ofricials here say they have heard
nothing new in the Mexican situation
in the last few days. The status quo
will be maintained until the definite
result of the elections Is known. Then
II new conditions are seen to have
arisen, (9TF3l Will IL fGtcS~
sary, withdraw her recognition OF

contingency England, 1t Is stated, will
have the frankest exchange of views

least doubt is felt that any difficulties
will easily he smoothed over.
British officials express much sur
prise at American reports OF strained
relations between the two countries,
and these suggestions are sincerely
depiored.

WASHINGTON WAITING
FOR HUERTA'S MOVE
When Result or Lack of Result
is Known Statement VIII
Probably Follow.
England Not Seeking to Get
Powers Together in Opposi-
ton to Policy of the United
States.

WASHINGTON, Oct 27.-The
state department was today without
complete reports from Mexico on the
elections held yesterday.
To all appearances the departmen mt
has made up Its mind to sit quiet I'M
til the result Of the election, OF lack
Of result, is made known officially,
and President Huerta has disclosed
his plan of action. Department Off
Gals today reiterated that there Is
nothing to be done until Huerta has
come out in the open and shown wha.
he intends to do about 1t.
That some statement of position
will follow Huerta's actions on the
elections lis indicated. It Is not like
ly, however, that there will be a cir
cuiar note addressed to all the pow
ers. The difference is more apparent
than real, however, as President VIII
son has already adopted the policy
of communicating to all governments
interested In Mexico copies Of every
statement addressed to Mexico for
their information.
Europe's Attitude.
III Is likely everything Will go on
Just as before. the United States con-
tinuing its disapproval OF Huerta, and
all his associates and their works.
Information received here today
through unofficial channels has served
TO outline more clearly than ever be-
fore the exact position OF the Euro
pean nations In regard to Mexico.
This information which comes from
London, is In effect that the British
government will gladly cooperate
with the United States in any prac-
teal policy toward Mexico calculated
TO restore peace In that country.
Unofficial advices received here to-
day were that the British government
liz not participating in any exchange
of views with other European gov
ernments regarding Mexico.
Secretary Bryan was III charge OF
the Mexican situation today. SO far as
Washington ts concerned. the presi-
dent being In Mobile. Mr.. Bryan was
totally uncommunicative in regard 10
all aspects OF the situation. and de-
clined to thro@r any light upon the at
tttude of the United States.
1t was announced that the state
department had been informed that
the reports OF the capture of Monte
rev by the reyolution3ats are untrue.
and that the city is still held by the
federals, after three days fighting.

fighting Quiet now exists in the
