his Mexican policy, the government is
prepared to act Immediately on receipt
of Huertas reply to the latest demand
carried by Lind.
President Huerta's program as an
nounced to the members of the diplO-
matte corps in Mexico City in state
ment formulated at a meeting of the
cabinet is another plea for delay and
forbearance
The statement embraces an elabor-
ate defense of the Huerta administra-
ton, including the dissolution of con-
gress and the Imprisonment of the
deputies.
Mexico City, Nov. 10.-There is
some basis for believing the United
States has served on President Huer-
ia a supplementary notice that his Of
fetal career be brought to an end by
tonight.
1t was reported that John Lind,
President Wilson's representative,
was the medium employed by Wash
ington. Mr.. Lind and the Mexican Of
ficials deny this, but the rumor orig
mated in the national palace.
General Huerta has shown no indi-
cation that he will comply with the
American demands for his resigna-
ton. On the contrary, those who pro-
TESS to have his confidence say his
program includes the continued occu-
pancy of the presidency until some
time late in the year 1914, and that
he intends to carry out his plan of
ORIGINATING the new congress and
defying Washington even to the point
of war.
In this connection it was learned
from authoritative source, that he
had secured sufficient money from
British sources to operate the govern
ment at least until the end of the pres
ent month The funds are said to
have been secured through the efforts
of Lord Crowrey, head of the Pearson
syndicate.
The British minister, Sir Lionel
Garden, conferred again with Mr.
Lind. 1t was learned that their ideas
regarding the solution of the situation
are still far apart.
Carranza Sees U. S. Aid.
Nogales, Sonora, Nov. 1O.-Gen.
Venustiano Carranza appeared un-
usually optimistic regarding the sue
cess of the constitutionalist revolu-
ton.
Dispatches from his agents at Wash
ington and New York indicated that
official Washington wanted to know
the exact extent and strength of the
instruction against the Huerta gov
eminent. This Carranza and his fol-
lowers interpreted as strong intima-
ton that the Wilson administration
was considering recognition of the
Mexican insurgents
Such action the rebel chief consid-
ers would insure the success of the
revolution, and he asserted he could
put 100000 men into the field.
Rebels Caught In Federal Trap.
Ell Paso, Tex, Nov. 10.-Twelve
hundred Sonora rebels under Julio
Acosta were trapped by Gen. Jose
Ynez Salazar's command of 700 fed
eral volunteers and were almost an
initiated by the federals.
Rebels Report Towns Capture.
Eagle Pass, Tex, Nov 10.-Muzquiz,
a town of 1000 inhabitants in Goa
hula, Mexico. has been captured by
a constitutionalist force from Tor
reOn, according to constitutionalist
advices. The entire federal garri-
son was said to have been killed. The
strength of the garrison and the date
of the capture were not stated
Waiting in Washington.
Washington, Nov 10.-The admin
istration has entered upon a period of
anxious waiting with respect to Mex
leo.
If Huerta should refuse categorical
ly to relinquish power, this govern
ment will take steps to drive him out.
Intervention will be the final resort.
AS long as possible it will be avoided.
But there is no official of the admin
istration willing to predict that it will
not occur.
Huerta is being given an object les
son as to the force of the United
States, by the assembling of for
midable fleet in Mexican waters.
When the battleship fleet returns from
Europe 1t will be sent to the West
Indies after hasty repairs, and it will
be kept constantly within forty-eight
hours of Vera Cruz. In addition. ma
rines are being concentrated at Guam
tanamo, and vessels for their transpor-
tation to Mexico will lie at anchor in
the Cuban harbor.
In addition a sufficient number of
transports will be made available at
Galveston for the accommodation of
possible military expedition.
