Presidents Confidence Grows
With Receipt of Reports
from O'Shaughnessy. Con-
cessions to British Oil Inter
ests by Huerta.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-Adminis-
tration officials here professed tonight
10 believe that Huerta's retirement and
the satisfactory adjustment Of the
Mexican situation is now close at hand.
No official statement was forthcoming
as TO the basis of this optimism, but
1t was apparent that the presidents
confidence had continued to grow with
the days reports from Nelson
o Shaughnessy. the charge daffaires
at Mexico City
The split in the Huerta cabinet over
the question of rejection or yielding to
the demands of the United States is
now generally accepted here as the
chief reason for the presidents re-
newed confidence In the outlook.
Privately. 1t was made known that
the administration is hasing high
hopes on the movement led by
Huerta's minister of the interior to
bring about the consent OF the pro-
visional president to yield to the In
sistence of the United States govern
ment-
The Woodpilc Niger.
Aside from the great issue as to
whether or not President Huerta IL
going TO yield to the demand that he
get OUT of the presidency, today's dis
closures regarding the oil concessions
and the important part they play In
the present situation. were regarded
as the most interesting development
here. In many quarters the prediction
was made that unless these eonces-
sions to the British oil interests could
be disposed of satisfactorily In the near
future, they eventually would prove a
disturbing element in the Mexican
prcblem-even more than the political
principles involved,
According to advices received here
Huerta has revived a concession, ex-
traordinary in It's terms, which was
granted 10 the Pearson oil interests
during the last days OF the regime of
Porhrio Diaz. This concession was
suppressed by Madero. and has been
brought to life again by Huerta, who
has further hroadened It's terms 80 as

Besides giving the British concern
the privilege of carrying on all sorts
of activities in the oil fields of the
east coast country. and the privilege
of importing all sorts Of materials and
products into Mexico free of duty, the
concession is understood to exempt the
British firm from the payment OF all

This will. Of course. give the British
