Envoy Lind's Departure FROM

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 15.-Huerta is
doomed. The menace Of Uncle Sams
power overshadows Mexico. The dies
tator maintains his stubborn defiance,
and the United States Government
has lost patience with him. Theirs
win be no more parley, as both John
Lind and Nelson O'Shaughnessy have
notified Huerta.
Whether the dictator wtll fall be-s
fore the force OF American arms oS
whether he will be removed by the
Mexicans themselves who desire
peace, will all depend upon Develop
ments-the developments Of the nexs

John IAnd's departure from Mexico

Huerta or the ultimatum Of the Unite
ed States IL considered the final blow
to hopes OF peaceful nego tiations be.
tween the dictator and the govern
ment at Washington.
President Wilson and secrstary Of
! State Bryan, maintaining their policy
of reserve, have made no commsnG
on Lind's departure. according to the
news that comes to Mexico City, nor
any definite announcement as to sc-
| ton by the United States in regard
| to Mexican affairs. However, II Ia
promised that they win issue within
a few days a statement setting fortn
their policy.
| II IS believed that this statement
will take the form of a message from
President Wilson to the United States.
II will clearly define the attitude ana
the contemplated action OF the Unit
ed States Government. It win re-
iterate the declaration that the Unit,
ed States win never recognize a gov,
eminent established by arbitrary
force. 1t will set forth as well the
reasons for the refusal by the United
States to recognize any acts of the
new Congress Of Mexico.
huerta a Sorry Figure.
Huerta la pitiful spectacle. He 10
seen in public only In places of ths
widest gayety. He is given TO strange
disappearances. and twice during tha
last week his closest friends thought
he had fed only to find that he had
stolen away by himself for a period
Of moody seclusion. He Is broken
figure
Many OF his friends there are who
openly urge him to resign. To these
suggestions he replies CURLY, savage
! ly, but he follows these outbursts byi
| periods Of sullen silence.
Huerta was given until to-day tn
1 decide upon his answer to the United
! States. The first message demanded
an answer ths same day. Failing
to receive z reply, Envoy Lind left
Mexico. Then he sent from Vera
| Cruz the absolute declaration that
! only until Saturday would be vouch-
safed the provisional President in
which to comply with the demands
of the Washington authorities.
The respite was granted mainly be-
cause Of thee intercession of the
friends of the dictator, who assured
Lind that he could not be reached.
and that he had not been given time
TO consider the demands. 1t is said
he will try TO proffer a compromise.
The ultimatum OF the American
Government bears the alternative Of
an immediate blockade of Mexican
ports by battleships OF the United
| States.
The Ultimatum Of U. S.
! The main specification Of washing
/ toms ultimatum, delivered to Huerta
through Charge d'Anaires O'Shaugh-
messy and less directly through John
Lind, was that the dictator prevent
| the newly elected Congress from con,
yening, and at the same time makes
this action known to the members OF
! the diplomatic corps OF tho United
| States and other governments.
! The prevention of the assembly OF
| Congress has been one Of the essential
| points in the negotiations between
| Washington and Mexico City. II was
so regarded because It was believed
| that the new Congress would irnue-
| diately upon converting pass meas
