HUERTA ANGRY AT
PRESIDENT WILSON
SAYS UNITED STATES AMBAs
.SADOR HAS NO STANDING
AUTOMATICALLY.
KEEN INTEREST DISPLAYED
Action of the United States in Conse.
quence of Reputation Of Ambassa-
dor Awaited With Interest.

Mexico City.-Keen interest is being
displayed by the government and the
public generally in what action the
United States will take as a conse-
quence of the virtual reputation of
Ambassador Wilson by President HUI
|erta. The president has made no state
ment either to Ambassador Wilson or
to the public qualifying his statement
that Mr.. Wilson, automatically, has
no standing but foreign. Minister
De La Barra displayed an eagerness
to minimize the incident. Senior De
La Barra said the declaration of Presi-
dent Huerta did not mean the sever
ance of diplomatic relations between
Mexico and the United States. He
draws fine distinction between the
diplomatic representative who per-
forms the full functions of his Office,
and one who confines himself to rou-
tine matters, and said he apprehended
no serious consequences from the in
cident.
Those close to the administration
say they would not be surprised should
word and recall Ambassador Wilson,
That President Huerta during his
conference with Mr. Wilson used
much emphasis in explaining the posi-
ton of his government and that his
remarks were characterized by bit
terness and warmth which clearly re-
fected his deep resentment against
what he termed the unreasonableness
of the Washington government in
withholding recognition of the Next
can government, has been established,
though ambassador Wilson has re-
Trained from discussing it.
In the face of the statement of
President Huerta that a loan had
been arranged through English, Bel
gian, French and German bankers
and was lacking only authorization by
congress, there persists the opinion
that recognition of the Mexican gov
eminent by the United States is an
essential condition to the consumma-
ton of the loan and that this fact
was the chief cause for President
Huerta'S break with Ambassador Will.

$4,000 OFFICES TO FILL
PROVIDED THEY CAN WIN IN
COMPETITIVE EXAMlNA-
TONS.
Taft's Fourtk-Class Postal Order Is
Amended by President
Wilson.

Washington.-All fourth-class post
masterships, except those paying less
than $3.50 year, were thrown open
to competitive examinations by an or
der issued by President Wilson. These
positions are retained in the classified
service, but about $4,000 incumbents
who were "covered' into the classified
service by executive orders of previous
administrations, will have to meet all
corners in competitive examinations to
hold their positions with civil service
protection.
In a statement making this order
public, Postmaster General Burleson
announced that it was the purpose of
President Wilson and himself to eX-
tend the classified service to include
presidential postmasters of the second
and third-class, probably within a
year. This may require legislation by
congress, he said. His plan, which
will be laid before the president, would
provide for a qualification test for in
cumbents and applicants lin keeping

DREADNAUCHT FOR
THE UNITED STATES
NAVY AND GENERAL BOARD
PLANS CONSTRUCTION OF BIG
RATTLESHIP IN 1914.
WILL BE LARGEST IN WORLD
Congress Will Be Asked to Appropriate
Twenty Million Dollars for One
Warship.

hington.-Congress will be ask
ed next year to appropriate for one
battleship, a mammoth dreadnaught
displacing 10000 tons and costing
about twenty million dollars, according
to tentative plans of the navy general
board, made public. This year the
navy department asked for three bat
tleships and got one as it did last year
when two were asked for.
During the debate on the naval bill
this year, members of congress par
ticularly interested in the navy be-
came satisfied that while there we're
two extreme factions, one advocating
appropriations for two or three first
class battleships year and the other
could be counted upon to vote for
single dreadnaught This situation has
been impressed upon the general
board, and as a result the permanent
building program may be revised to
one-dreadnaught basis, with provi-
sion for adequate golfers, destroyers
and other auxiliary craft.
This one battleship, however, will
be a monster, if the boards plans ma
terialize. With a displacement of 49,
600 tons she would be just about one
fourth larger than any ship yet au-
thoriaed by congress and could easily
rank as the largest and most formi-
dable craft of war in the world. The
plans contemplate giving the dread
naught engines that would drive her
through the water at the rate of Is
knots an hour-faster than the unar-
mored greyhounds of the navy could
travel a few years ago-without sacri-
ficing anything in more powerful bat
teries or seaworthiness. Just what
the armament would be has not been
announced, but it certainly would be
equal to that of the last ship author
lied, which is to carry a main battery
of twelve 14-inch rifles, mounted in
four turrets, three guns to a turret.

WOMEN AREREFUSED BALLOT
Measure to Extend Suffrage in Great
Britain Beaten by az Votes.

London:-The fate of the woman's
suffrage bill was sealed by the votes
of more than fifty Irish nationalist,
who voted against it. The bill, where
b yit was sought to enfranchise g.
100000 women, was rejected by a ma
jority of A.; the vote stood 266 to
PIG.
Whether there is any chance that
the present parliament will pass a
bill of more limited character may be
doubted. Possibly the nationalists
fear that if they allow a woman's
franchise bill to pass the second
reading it will lead to parliamentary
struggle, which would not unlikely
end in dissolution of parliament be-
fore the home rule bill becomes a law.
Furthermore, the debate proved that
the militant policy of the suffragists
has done the cause great harm as
far as parliament is concerned. The
cancellation bill of last session was re-
jected by only a small majority COM
pared with the Dickinson bill under
discussion.

cuss Reorganization.
Chicago, Ill.-Proposals to reorgan-
ize the Republican party were dis
cussed at conference here between
six Republican United States senators
and 80 other Republican leaders, rep
resenting nine states. The immediate
subject before the conference was as
to what action shall be sought at the
meeting of the Republican national
committee at Washington on May "a,
looking toward "re-organizing the par
ty along progressive lines" and as to
whether there shall be a Republican
national convention this year.
The conference lasted for more than
four hours and was held in a hotel
overlooking the lake in room where
the seven governors last year drafted
the letter urging Colonel Roosevelt
to be a candidate for the presidency.
Although the public was not admitted
Senator Albert B. Cummins stated
"It was merely an informal talk, a
sort of round table discussion of
what may be done for the best inter-
ests of the party by reorganizing it
