No Reply Received from
Huerta on Preventing
Meeting of Congress
PRES. WILSON TOLD
HIM TO STOP 1T
German Legation Advises
Germans to Leave
Mexico City

Mexico City, Nov. l3.-An Official no
tifcation was published here to-day un'
der yesterdays date ordering Mexican
senators and deputies who were elected
Oct. 26 to assemble Saturday afternoon
next, to effect an organization.
John Lind, who reached Vera Cruz
this morning, has not received any reply
from Huerta to the United States de-
mand that he dissolve the next Congress.
1t is assumed here by many who are
familiar with the situation that the log
ical course to be pursued by the United
States will be to recall Nelson 0Shaugh-
messy to- day unless Huerta frankly
yields to the demands.
It was stated late last night that
Huerta had not personally received the
communication and that the minister
of finance had been unable to find him
either at the national palace or his home
or the places where he was accustomed
to go.
The prevention of the convening of
Congress has been one of the essential
points in the negotiations conducted by
Mr.. Lind. This was for two reasons;
First, it was believed that the new Con-
gress would lose no time in passing
measures having to do with the oil con-
cessions, and, second, because the con-
vening of Congress would give an air of
legality to Huerta's government.
U. S. Final Demand Made.
Washington, d. c., Nov. l3.--Propos-
ais made to the Mexican Constantitu-
tionalists through William Bayard Hale
and the final demand that the new Mex
lean congress be dissolved because of a
question of its legality, transmitted
through John Lind, brought the Mexican
situation forward another step to-day.
Their rejection by Huerta, who had not
replied this morning, might involve an
abrupt termination OF all relations with
him, Including possibly, the withdrawal
of the American embassy officials. The
notification sent Huerta yesterday by
Lind requested reply to his demands
by 6 o'clock last evening.
Germans Advised to Leave
Berlin. Germany, Nov. l3.-The Ger
man legation at Mexico City again to-
day advised Germans residing in Tor
reon and Durango to leave those cities,
on account of expected hostilities.
Earlier warnings proved fruitless, as
only four Germans are said to have left
Torreon.
Rebels Rob a Train.
Vera Cruz, Nov. l3.-A passenger train
on the Interocean railway, which was
held up by rebels in the neighborhood of
Puebla, arrived here last evening Seven
passengers in the sleeper were robbed
of all their money and jewelry and the
car was set ON fire. The rebels dyna-
mited the safe and took away large
amount of currency and silver. After
the departure of the rebels the train
crew and passengers extinguished the
flames.
Portsmouth, N. H., Nov. l3.-The cap
ture of the Mexican city of Tuxpam by
rebels, under command of General Cam
dido Aguilar, is predicted in wireless
message from the United States battle
ship Louisiana, at Tuxpam, picked up by
the naval wireless station here to-day.
The message said the federal troops
were about to abandon the city and
that several american women and chill
dren had taken refuge on the Louisiana.
