Washington Is Firm.
Developments in the Mexican situa-
ton at Washington, d. c., emphasized
the determination of the Washington
government to refuse to recognize any
of the acts of the new Mexican con-
gress. 1t also was shown that Presi-
dent Wilson was considering the ques-
ton of permitting expectation of arms
to all factions in the southern republic.
May Lift Embargo.
Washington.-Pres Wilson's
cabinet stands firmly behind him in
his efforts to force the retirement OF
Provisional President Huerta as nee
essary step to the pacification of Mex
leo. For more than two hours the
cabinet discussed Tuesday every phase
of the eMxican situation. The con-
sensus of opinion was that the United
States should not take a single back
ward step in its program to restore
constitutional government in Mexico.
1t became known that all the secre-
taries favored steps which would con
vince Huerta that the United States is
in earnest in its demands. Some of
the cabinet members recognized in the
lifting of the embargo on arms prac-
teal and perhaps early solution of the
difficulty, but there was no final de-
cision on the point.

Mexico City.-President Huerta has

that the recent elections are null on
account of too few precincts having
participated in the voting and that
therefore when congress convenes it
will naturally annul the elections.

in Juarez Saturday The rebels were
hurrying to Chihauhau to reinforce
General Pancho villa, who had been
assaulting Chihauhau.
Huerta Is Defiant
Mexico City.-General Huerta has
shown no indication that he will COM
ply with the American demands for
his resignation. On the contrary,
those who profess to have his conf
dence say his program includes the
continued occupancy of the presidency
until some time late in the year 1914.
and that he intends to carry out his
plan or organizing the new congress
and defying Washington, even to the
point of war.
Mexico ty.-Government officials,
foreign residents and the people of
Mexico realize that the relations be-
tween this country and the United
States are strained almost to the point
of war and there is much discussion as
to what Washington will do.
Opinion in Mexico is widely diver
gent as to what Washington's attitude
will be.
At the American embassy it is re-
garded as logical that Washington,
perhaps, will furnish vital develop
ments in the relations between the
two countries.
This assumption is based on the
Washington note tc General Huerta,
in which Huerta is assured that re.
fusal to comply with the American
demands will result in President Will
son applying to congress for power to
use sterner methods and the threat to
place a time limit on Huerta's con-
tinuance in office.

ficials most fear perhaps the latter
