Dissolve State Legislature.
The state legislature Of Tamaulipas
was dissolved today by order of the
| military governor, Gen. Antonio RAJ

I representative of the federal govern
ment in that state
; Dispatches received here state that
! according to Gen RabagO the lower
! house was in a state of disintegration,
/ most Of the members having disap-
/ peared, presumably to join the rebel
Huerta to install Congress.
In a formal note to the foreign diplo-
! mats Gen Huerta, after calling atten-
/ ton to the efforts he had made to
/ pacify the country and dwelling at
| length upon his reasons for dissolving
! congress, makes the direct statement
/ that the newly elected congress will be
! installed within q. few days and will
/ pass upon the elections of the preSt-
| dent and the vice president
! Gen. Huerta reminds the diplomats
that prior to the elections he told them
! that neither he nor Gen. Banquet
would accept an election on the ground
! that his own election would be illegal
and he calls TO the attention OF the
diplomatic representatives the confer
ence he had with the presidential candi-
dates at which he obtained their prom

elections, even should no one obtain

Must Call New Election
Now, in view Of the fact, according
to the reports which the government
has received, continued the note. that
there exists an earnest presumption
that, because it has been impossible to
carry on voting in the number of poll
ing places prescribed by law, the cleo
lions fail to be considered a true mani
feStation Of the viii Of the people and
because it is fOreseen that said presi-
Dental elections will be declared null,
the executive wishes to make known
once more to the country and to the
whole world, that in accord with this
determination, he shall continue exert
ing himself for the pacification of the
country, IN order to be able to guaran-
new elections which congress must call
as a necessary consequence of that
declaration.
Huerta VIII Decline ONCE.
In the same manner he wishes to
make known once more 10 his friends
and those outside the republic, that /
being regardful of the law and per-
suaded that by virtue Of his having
occupied the post of president of the
republic while the elections We're being !
held, he considers himself constitution /
ally impeded from being validity elected |
and he will on no account take into con-
sideration the vote which may have /
been cast in his favor, and no matter !
what may be the resolution Of congress, I
he viii not accept in this case the presi- /
dency Of the republic.
He relies as president on the solemn !
promise of the honorable citizens who 1
figured as candidates for the presidency !
and vice presidency and who represent /
all the political parties of the republic /
and is sure that perfect harmony will 1
reign between the three powers of the 1
union and that the governments of the /
world viii recommend without excep- I
ton that only the present government (
can call new elections and guarantee 1
their freedom and efficacy. He hopes to /
be able to fulfill easily within the
period which congress shall designate 1
his sacred duty, cOunseling the national !
desire to consecrate by the suffrage OF {
the people, the executive who is to rule
definitely the destinies of the country.
Otherwise, the realization of the
executives program would not be pos
5ible within a long period Of time.
A Program for Peace.
This program consists Of peace and
legality. which are the only mediums
in which elections may become an ex-
preston of the popular will and in
which the individual, native as well as
foreign. may enjoy full guarantees.
