Mexico City, Nov. 18.-Manuel Gar
IN AIdape, minister of the interior,
who has taken the lead among the
cabinet members in the effort to re-
open negotiations with the United
States which were closed by the de-
parture of Special Envoy Lind, was
BOrced out Of Huerta's cabinet on
Sunday.
1t was learned that the American
charge, O'Shaughnessy, had seen
President Huerta and from the presi-
deat himself had learned that he
would not resign and would listen only
to such proposals as were compatible
wifh his own dignity and that of his
country.
The American embassy denied the
truth of a report that Mr.. O'Shauhnes-
@y had been recalled. 1t had been ru-
znoTed he would leave for Vera Cruz.
He declined to discuss it.
AIdape led that group of the cabinet
which held the conviction that it would
be best to accede to at least that por-
finn OF Washingtons demands which
meant the total abandonment of power
by the provisional president, and Al
&iape is said to have been the only
one with sufficient courage to discuss
the international situation with his
chief.
It was he who called at the Ameri-
can embassy recently and induced
Nelson O'Shaughnessy, the charge
daffaiTes, to send to Washington his
appeal for the reopening of the negoti-
atoms. Senior Aldapes resignation
was demanded at cabinet meeting at
President Huertas house on Sunday.
Hnerta is said to have reiterated at
this meeting the statement that he
would not resign, that with him it was
a case of life or death, and he was
disposed to play out the game

The British minister, Sir Lionel
Garden, explained that his instruc-
Si0ns to British residents in Mexico
were not in the nature of an order to
leave their places of residence, except
IN the case of those located in more
accessible towns. 1t was simply
precautionary measure intended to
prepare them in the event circum-
stances should demand their removal.
