MEXICO IN NEED OF FUNDS.

Mexico City, Nov. 10.-The acute
stage OF Mexico's economic situation
was manifested today in long con-
unued run on the banks which served
TO accentuate the fears OF the Mexi..
can people. This, combined with re-
ports Of military operations in differ
ent parts Of the republic appears to
have distracted the public mind for
the moment from the possible dan.

United States. AT all the legations
and among the better informed busI-

situation.

National bank. minimized the i'm

than 100000 pesos had been with
drawn In Saturdays run and until
noon today. He explained that most
OF those who withdrew their money
were small depos.tors. the amounts
being rarely more than so pesos.
Senor Cancina admitted that the
banks technically were violating re-.
cent decree, the language OF which
was imperative. that the banks must
not redeem notes with specie. He
added that the banks were acting on
q commonsense basis; however, they
would not continue to pay out silver
when 1t became necessary TO touch
the reserve.

their own in regard to Mexico, we
took line deliberately caculated to

ADVISES HUERTA TO RETIRE
FORMER Dictator Urges Provisional
President to Withdraw From His
Office.

OuuCc.
Paris, Nov 10.-Gen. Porflrio Diaz
has advised Gen. Victoriano Huerta
to retire from the presidency of Mex
ico Two friends of Gen Diaz, each
acting separately and by authorization
OF the ex-president, sent kilograms 10
Gen. Huerta last week to this effect.
In outlining his attitude Gen. Diaz
said that in the present situation Of
the Mexican people in relation to ti.e
United Sttaes it was not q question
Of whether Huerta was the best man
for The presidency, nor was it II Ques-
ton OF whether the revolutionists
were right or wrong; it was n ques.
ton OF patriotism. He counseled Gen.
Hucrta to renounce any feeling of per-
sonal prestige or power and thus save
Mexico from a calamity.
Gen. Diaz said to his friends that
he would have telegraphed to Gen.
Huerta himself. but he thus far hat,
taken no direct step in Mexican at
fairs since he left the country ami
would prefer to convey his convic-
tion through friends Of his and of Gen.
Huerta's.
The denial by a member OF the Dlaz
household on Saturday that Gen.
Diaz had sent a telegram asking
Huerta to resign therefore was tech
nically correct. as he personally had
not done so.
