With Dictator - President Wilson
Denies O'Shaughnessy Is to Leave.
Mexico City; Mex, Nov. Is. - An
early severance Of diplomatic relations
between the United States aud Mexico
is regarded here as inevitable.
Whether the embassy is to remain
or be withdrawn Immediately appears
to be a question of which Nelson
O'Shaughnessy, the American charge
daffaires, himself is uncertain.
The staff is ready to leave at mo-
ment's notice and little surprise would
be felt, although much alarm would
becaused, in case O'Shaughnessy and
his associates should take the train
to Vera Cruz. .
Despite the widespread pessimistic
view the report was revived that zen.
eral Huerta intends to resign the pro.
visional presidency on the convening
of congress in regular session Thurs
day. 1t was based on the alleged de.
claration of member Of the new
chamber of deputies.
Huerta, on the surface at least, re-
CARDS his part in the recent exchange
of communications with the United
States as finished. He expects to find
no difficulty in consummating his plan
to bring his new congress to full or
ganization, and he continues planning
his military campaigns and carrying
out his policies of pacification. The
new house of deputies organized on
Saturday, but the new senate lacked
a quorum.
Huerta emphasized his defiance OF
the United States by removing from
his cabinet Manuel Cara Adalpe, min
lister of the interior, who was leader
in the movement to have Huerta re-
sign and to reopen negotiations with
the United States.
There was considerable gossip In
political circles of further changes In
the Mexican cabinet. General Azure.
lanio Banquet, the minister of war,
Is said to have had misunderstanding
ing with Huerta, which may cause
him to leave the cabinet.
General Huerta will fight it out to
the end. Negotiations with the United
States, which aims to GUST him from
Office, are at an end. In fact, diplo-
matte relations have practically been
broken Off"
This statement was made by an o.
fetal of the Mexican government. u

Aldape showed any cordiality "a
O'Shaughnessy 1t was through Al
dape's efforts that negotiations were
renewed, and now that Aldape has
been forced out, 'Shaughnessy is In
a peculiar position. He is persona NON
grata to Huerta because ne is the OH.
cial representative of the United
States, and Senior Moheno. minister
of foreign affairs, is creature Of
Huerta."
All the ministers Of foreign coun-
tries are still in Mexico City, and 1t
is not anticipated that any of them
will leave their posts, even in case OF
Intervention. Admiral Won Hintze,
the German, declared that he believed
there was no reason for anxiety.
"a plan is being considered" he
said, "by which armed Intervention
will most surely be avoided"
What further move may be taken
at Washington is a question which
neither the Mexicans nor the foreign
ers find an easy one to answer, but
there was noticeable an increasing ex-
preston of opinion that the United
States would continue her hands-of
policy.
