tons Back Washington.

Mexico City, Nov 5-President
Huerta has been told he must resign
the presidency of Mexico without loss
of time and that he must not leave as
his successor Gen, Aureliano Blan-
quet, his minister of war, or any 9TH
er member Of his official coterie
whom he might be expected to con-
troll.
This ultimatum from Washington
has been conveyed to President Huer-
ia through his private secretary, Senior
Rabago, by Nelson O'Shaughnessy,
American charge d'affaires, acting un-
der Instructions from the state depart
ment.
Senior Rabago presented the memo
randum to his chief late Sunday, but
up to Monday evening President Huer-'
ia had returned no answer, and, SO far
as could be learned. had guarded its
contents from almost all his official
and intimate counselors.
Those who learned of the Washing
ton note regard General Huertas posi-
ton as one in which he will be forced
to give one of two answers-refusaI
point blank to comply with the de-
mand. possibly going SO far as to hand
the diplomatic representative his pass
ports, or the elimination of himself
officially.
Those most intimate with the Next
can president insist that the latter
course will not be taken for many rea-
sons, chief among which Is that such
action would be tantamount to sub
mission to the rebels.
Official Mexico is no longer in doubt
that the Washington administration
favOrs the rebel cause, and is con-
vinced that this is the means adopted
by President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan to assist Carranza to win.
General Euerta summoned to the
national palace at night the diplomatic
corps, but for what purpose was not
revealed.
Three of the ministers, those of
Germany, Norway and Russia, were
absent. They have been in Vera
Cruz, where they were in conference
with President Wilson's representa-
tive, John Lind, who is understood to
be fully conversant with the latest
representations from Washington.
Washington, Nov. 5.-A press dis
patch from Mexico City was read to
Secretary Bryan over the telephone
Monday night. He manifested much
interest, but said he would make no
official comment
All evening the SECRETARY had been
expecting news developments and pre-
pared to stay up late to receive dis
patches.
1t was learned, too, that the Wash
ington administration had indicated
desire to all foreign powers that
any government set up as result OF
the election of October &c should not
be recognized until the United States
had communicated its views on the
subject
The war plans" of the army ord
nance department are completed. and
for the first time in history Uncle
Sam Is in readiness at a moments
notice to arm and equip 100000 men
war with a first-class power. These
plans have been worked out during
the last six years by Lieut.. Col J. T.
Thompson under the direction Of
Brig Gen William Crozier, chief of
bureau.
Reports from John Lind President
Wilson's personal representative in
Mexico, concerning his recent confer
ences in Vera Cruz with the Russian,
German and Norwegian ministers,
conveyed the impression toePresident
Wilson that there was a disposition
on the part of those diplomats to CO.
operate with the United States in sup
porting the plans of the Washington
government
