On the other hand there is a large
element which believes that President
Huerta took the only possible course
and expresses wonder that he had not
taken the step long ago. Huerta's
friends say that IL l. no secret that
had the deputies believed any sub
stantial part of the army would stand
with them they would have overrid-
den Huerta completely and taken the
reins OF government wholly in their
hands.
The minister OF the interior. Manuel
Cara AldaIe. issued the following an
nouncement today:
Cannot Be Released.
The deputies who have been ar
rested and imprisoned cannot be re-
leased on any writ. They will be tried
for the various offenses OF which they
are accused. Not one of them has
been released by the government 10
date. They will be treated well while
in confinement.
The dissolution OF Congress will
not affect the holding of the ELECTIONS
in the least. The ballots will be cast

election program will be that new
