a critical stage as to require closing
of the American embassy seems
evident today.

been given passports nor told to
come back.
While details as to persons is
changed, circumstances remained
substantially the same as when the
President expressed a favorable view
of the situation.
IL was made plain at the White
House that the peremptory resigna-
tion of Minister Adalpe does not af-
feet materially the American plan.
1t is pointed out that no cheme

well depend upon the permanency of
any member of the Huerta cabinet.
Official denial Is made of the re-
port that Pan-American mediation is
contemplated. and II was reiterated
that no mediation of any kind has
been offered either faction. American
nations have beeni informed, the
same as European and have ex-
pressed in the main desire to sup
port the American policy.
