Washington Aug. 26.-The situation tonight as to Mexico, iii the light of statements at the White House and the State Department, is that Presi- dent Huerta has been given until 1 D. m. tomorrow to decide to the demands
 The situation had all the diplomat ic force of an ultimatum. Secretary of State Bryan before leaving the de- partment for the day said:
 ''So far as I see, the message of the president will go into congress tomor- row."
 At the White House it was stated that the message would go in if there was not a compliance with the pres- dents demands, but at both places it was stated. there might be conting- encies that would effect the sending in of the message This was con- strued as meaning that if Huerta ac- quiesced in the demands, of course, there would be no necessity of mak- ing communition to Congress.
 Should Huerta's failure to surren- der force the president to send the message to congress With the presi- rfi 1or dot; +, { the neutrality laws be strictly enforc- ed, thus cutting off Huerta's supply of ammunition and arms, Americans will be urged as heretofore, to leave Mexico while Huerta and the rebels fight it out indefinitely. Many left today with John Lind, special envoy, when he departed for Vera Cruz.
 The strict enforcement of neutral ity will probably necessitate the sending of additional light draught vessels to the coast of Mexico and perhaps some additional cavalry forces on the frontier. The revenue cutter service and Department of Jus tice agents will be expected to keep a sharp lookout on American ports for filibuster expeditions.
 The withdrawal of Americans from the United States simply to preserve neutrality would leave European na- tions to take care of their citizens re- siding in Mexico unless the president announces that he will continue the policy of protecting foreigners.
 There will be nothing also, to pre- vent the shipment of arms and am- intuition to Mexico by merchants of any foreign nation, unless foreign na- tions should also proclaim neutrality and see that it be observed.
 The whole trend of everything that has been said at the White House and at the State Department is substantial ly that foreign nations will not be al- lowed to intervene in Mexico inas- much as the presidents view is that intervention is not permissible under international law. The United States has never objected to warship of a foreign country coming to a port of any country on this hemisphere to pro- tect it's citizens, but there has always been restrictions against any foreign nation getting territorial indemnity and making permanent lodgment in any of the South American or Central American republics.
 The movement of Special Envoy Lind from Mexico City to Vera Cruz was admitted today by Secretary Bry- an, who asserted positively that MT, Lind had not been recalled from Mexi- co. He would not explain why MT. Lind had determined to change his base of communication with the Mexi- can president.
 From another authoritative source it was stated that MT. Lind had deliv- cred last night to the Mexican govern ment the only supplemental thing the president has to say, and that he then straight-way left Mexico City with the information to Huerta that if there was any answer he could be found at Vera Cruz. That was by implication a notice that he would leave unless his demands were compiled with.
 It is from Vera Cruz that the State
