The state Department said to-day
1t had no knowledge AS to whether
foreign nations would follow the lead
of the United states in prohibiting the
expectation of arms. The main diicul-
- in following the lead Of the United
states seems TO be that most Of tho
foreign nations have recognized Nuerta
and his government and they cannot
stultify themselves by proclaining laws
against him which would strike a blow
at his commerce. They may act. how
ever, without any direct proclamation.
At the White House to-day il was
stated that the President would carry
out the provisions Of the Taft prCcla-
nation OF neutrality issued last year
In addition. the President will have at
the earliest opportunity consultations
with the Cabinet officers most concern
ed in neutrality laws. and the President
may issue in his own name special
warnings and instructions.
y copy Of the Presidents message
and the documents will be forthwith
sent TO The various legations and en-
bassics at Washington and the sub
stance OF the massage will be commu-
nicatcd at once to Charge dAraires
o'Shaughnessy at Mexico City. and 20
his subordinate officials throughout tho
republic OF Mexico.
Mono Of The officials cared TO predict
what the effect OF the message would
be on Huerta in the belligerent mood
he manifested in the Hucrta reply pub
lishcd to-day. Mr.. O'Shaughncssy is cx-
pectcd To send his views OF the effect OF
the Presidents uttcranccS.
