DIAz CUTS HIS LAST TIE

Washington, Oct 29-Statements
from the British foreign Office that
Great Britain would do nothing in the
Mexican situation, now that the cleo
ton had been held in the southern re-
public, without consultation with the
United States, and an appeal from the
French, minister in Mexico for Ameri-
can protection for French citizens
there, added strength to the intima-
tons that the American government
plans a note to the powers which may
result in a concerted policy In the fu-
Iture.
Gig Of Mexico, Oct 2S.-The Mexi-
can elections on Sunday was an abso-
flute farce. Hardly any votes were cast
hand In some precincts there was
knot single vote cast. General Huerta
twill remain In the presidential chair
lad interim"
No official announcement was made.
lbut 1t was estimated. Judging from the
results in the capital, where 1t was ex-
pected the vote would be up to the av-
erage. that less than 10000 of the So
900 eligible voters in the republic
went to the polls. 1t would be no sur
prise If congress, the members of
which also were voted for, declared
the election void when the body is Or
ganized and revises the returns.
The leaders of the Catholic party
claimed a long lead, although they
were unable to estimate the number
of votes polled for their candidates,
Federico Gamboa and General Ras-
con. If this claim is correct, it Is gen.
orally thought that Gen. Felix Diaz and
Senior Requena ran second. The Lib
eral candidates, Manuel Calero and
Flores Magon, had no printed ticket
at the polling places.
President Huerta spent the day at
his Popotla suburban home. A decree
was issued by General Huerta increas-
ing the army from $4,000 men, it's al
legged present number, to 10000.
General Huerta proposed such an In
crease some time ago, but the con-
gress which he dissolved limited him
to $4,000.
Since the deputies and senators are
not subject to the election provisions
governing the presidential elections,
1t Is said that the choice for congress
Is assured. 1t is assumed, on the
showing so far known, the Catholic
party will secure majority in both
chamber and senate.
The elections promised by the provi-
sional president, General Huerta, were
held without a semblance of disorder
IL any quarter of the city. A few
patrols were on the streets, but neither
police nor troops had any but their
usual duties to perform.
Vera Cruz, Oct 2S.-The last shred
binding GEM. Felix Diaz and Gen. Vic
toriano Huerta was severed when
General Diaz telegraphed Sunday to
the department of war his resignation
as brigadier general of the army.
The negotiations regarding the trip
TO Mexico City on the invitation OF
Huerta ended by his fiat refusal to &C
company General Vidaurrazaga, Sec
rotary to General Banquet, war min
lister. giving as his reason the illness
OF his wife. Colonel Vidaurrazaga con-
tinued his efforts to induce General
Diaz to change his decision, but finally
left for the capital on a special train
} az and his family remained here.
