lBy Leased Wire 90 evening Herald.
Mexico city. Nov. iS.-The com-
pietion of the preliminary organlza-
tion of both branches OF the new
Mexican congress Is regarded here as
putting the final touch 10 President
Huerta's defiance. Surprise was
caused by the publication of despatch
es from Washington indicating that
President Wilson does not contem-
plate any active measures 10 support
the warning given by John Lind to
General tluerta against permitting
the new congress 10 convene.
Talk OF the possibility of Huerta
resigning is still heard but an the
acts and uttcrances of the provisional
president are calculated 20 dissipato
the idea that he himself has amy such
Intentions. II hns been suggested
that Washington has been given as-
surauces that General Hucrtn viii re-
sign after the new Mexican congress
has ratified his acts since the diSso-
luton of the former congress.
Foreigners here had been keyed up
To "a point az which any action prom
ising relief from the prevailing ten-
sion would have been acceptable.
There is large proportion ct ma
tive population which appears 60 be
keonly alive to the necessity of bring
ing present conditions Co an end and
which looks on Intervention as the
only relief in sight, Mexican Off
Cinls here seem to bc convinced that
tho United States il blufnng and are
quoted M stating that they are satin-
fled thcro viii be no armed interfer-
cncC with their affairs.
a singular fact noticeable here and
much commented op by foreign resi-
! dents is the continued absence of any
onti-American spirit among the Mex
lean populuco. The efforts Of certain
native newspapers 20 stir up Ruch
feeling have met with little success.
Similar efforts nt the time Of the
Madero revolution fillcd the streets
Of the capital with mobs Of the lower
classes Ted by students. who shouted
! against everything American. Mexl-
/ cans explain the difference in scntl
ment ns due to the character of tho
present controversy, which fails to
enlist the sympathy Of the people.
