MEXICO CITY. Nov. 12.-Huerta tacitally refused to accede to the demands of the United States ex- pressed in the uItimatum sent by Lind. Huerta was notified early in the day that unless he returned an answer by six o'clock to the effect that he would prevent the newly elected congress from converting, and furthermore, make this action known to the diplomatic corps by midnight, the United States would have no further parleying with the Mexican government.
 Lind waited until six o'clock and received no answer. He then made arrangements for his departure for Vera Cruz at eight o'clock It was announced, however, that Huerta had one chance more and if he took fact that he had failed to reply to Lind in the time specified, would be overlooked. Lind could see no good reason to believe Huerta intended to accede.
 O'Shaughnessey delivered the ulti- matum, and being unable to get into personal touch with Huerta. left It at his office It was intimated that Huerta had not received the note in time to give it full consideration, but Lind did not consider this q valid excuse for procrastination.
 The prevention of the conVening of congress has been one essential point in the negotiations conducted ry Lind. The reasons tt is thought the new congress would lose no time in passing measures having to do with oil concessions and converting. give an air of legality to Huerta's goveIn- ment.

At the time The Republican went to press, the posses led by county officers had not conclud- cd their search of the cotton fields of the south side. nor had they discovered the murderers- From the preparations made to cover the countryside. it seems practically impossible that the killers will escape. The bright moonlight is aiding the posses in beating through the fields, but it is not quite light enough to make sure of a capture in the shadows under the trees.
 It is probable that men will be working right through to day light, and after, unless the hiding place of the murderers is found All the men in the posses are heavily armed, and if there is an encounter, it is quite likely more blood will flow before the out ragged law of an eye for an eya is satisfied.
