many of these VIII take their chances
ana stay IN the capital.
The financial situation has not i'm
proved Assurances have come from
governmental sources and from the
lmauagers 81 the banks. that the re-
cent runs on the National bank and
the Bank of London and Mexico
have done no harm % these institu-
tions but q rumor Is current tonight
that certain banks VIII close within
three days. True or not. the rumor
is given credence Silver IS difficult
90 secure. except in small amounts.
u is no secret that the funds OF the
treasury are only sufficient 10 enable
the government 20 live from hand 10
mouth. and that those who are en-
trusted with the task OF obtaining
money for the conduct OF official ar
fairs are resorting 20 means that are
unusual and which may be questioned
by any succeeding administration.
one OF the things which Il Is said
the new congress may be expected to
rush through under suspension of the
rules is some measure calculated to
extract additional revenue from the
people.
Mr. O'shaughnessy has preserved
consistent silence regarding AN de-
vclopments Of the situation. There is
iu an Mexico no man more carefully
watched by personal friends as well
as by government agents to see that
he does not leave town and thus con-
firm by act the cver-present rbmor
that he has been recalled.
a question which has been put 20
Mr. O'Shaughnessy innumerable
times by representatives OF the gov
eminent who have called upon him

regarding the Identity Of the man who
might be named 10 succeed Huerta.
Pedro Lascurain has been suggest

minutes, resignlng In favor Of fluerta,
whom he had appointed TO head the
department Of the interior, the rank
Ing cabinet post; he did not name
during his brief incumbency OF the
office OF chief executive "a new min
lister for foreign affairs. Lascurain, as
bis successor. does not appeal 10
lIuerta and there Is reason to doubt
whether he is entirely acceptable to
the consttutionallsts
Another suggestion made is that
General Felipe Angeles who Is now
with the rebels. but who has long
record as an officer in the regular
army. succeed General Blanquet as
minister of war. This suggestion Is
wholly repugn8nt TO Huerta, who re-
Gently brought about the dishonorable
discharge from the army OF Angeles,
who broke his parole following his
arrest some time ago by the rebels in
the north.
It is doubtful whether Huerta
would consent except in the last ex-
tremity. To yield his position to Ven
ustiano Carranza or to anyone identi-
ncd with the rebellion. lt Is certain
that the constitutlonalists will agree
