4. ). Demands.

NASIiI y u On, NON. W htN'l-
opments good, bad or Indifferent
this was the word that came from the
White House late today as to the
status Of the Mexican situation, fol-
lowing the presentation to Provisional
President Huerta Of the wish of the
United states that he resign.
Those who had any doubt that such
representations had been made to
Huerta had the situation clarified for
them to an extent today by admins
tration officials. From the White
House it became known that the views
of the United States upon the recent
election in Mexico were set forth In
a cablcgram to Nelson O'Shaughnessy,
the charge daffaircs of the American
embassy at Mexico City. This cable
gram contained certain instructions"
Just what the Instructions were was
not diyulged by the officials. who said
they were of a confidential nature. II
was recalled that when the negotia-
tions began with the Iuertd govern
ment there was no formal note but
instructions to John Lind In this
way recognition OF the Huersa govern
ment through techniCa,lty was
avoided.
Was Not tltimatum
From the way the White House Of
ficials discussed the situation there
existed no doubt in official circles to-
day that the instructions OF Mr..
o Shaughnessy to convey the desires
of the United States to General
Huerta were substantially as outlined
in dispatches from Mexico City last
Monday, although the state depart
ment's denial that any "ultimatum"
had been sent was regarded by many
conversant with the situation as indi-
eating that the United States govern
ment in its communication to Mr..
O'Shaughnessy did not necessarily
mean that it had said It's Last word
in the parleys.
1t became increasingly evident at
the White House today that the presi-
dent considers the elections of Octo-
ber 26 not only invalid as II the vote
on the presidency and vice presidency,
but also as to the election Of members
Of congress. The news dispatches to-
day indicated that Huerta would con-
vene the newly-elected congress and
abide by its decision as to trc legality
of the elections This was looked upon
generally here as an intention on the
part OF General Huerta to have the
election nullifieC While he continued
in power indefinitely.
No Message Received.
Though the president made ii plain
TO callers that he had no intention at
present OF laying the suhjeol before
congress, he is keeping in close touch
with the capital through Chairman
Bacon OF the senate foreign relations
committee. 1t Is not regarded as like
ly that the president will make any
move until he hears from General
Huerta through Charge O'Shaugh-
messy. Though newspapers and press
dispatches have indicated that General
Huerta would refuse to retire official
iy 1t was said nothing along this line
OF definite character had leen re-
ceiVed. The president, incidentally in
discussing the situation. spoke of the
loyal attitude Of Charge OShaugh-
messy.
Alternative measures that the
United States might take in event OF
a rejection by Huerts Of the American
demands were discussed today in Of
fetal circles. Attention centered |
chiefly on the proposal TO reioove the
embargo on arms. The president in |
dicated that nothing new had been de- !
termined upon In this connection. In |
MS recent address to congress he took |
strong position against giving arms |
