Huerta has held his own. militarily.
In fact, until the recent fall of Tor
reon he was ahead Of the game with
/ the Constitutionalists. II is felt, how
ever, that Huerta may have weakened
| himself in certain quarters. while the
Constitutionalists will be vastly en-
couraged, possibly TO the extent Of
driving Huerta out by force Of arms.
| The ConstitutionalistS might he as
sisted by the United States to the ex-
tent Of having this government recog-
nize their belligerency. This would
enable them to import arms and am
munition with freedom. II would also.
probably, make IT possible for them TO
obtain. particularly If they showed
signs of success, ample funds for cam
paign purposes.
Constitutionalists in Washington are
elated with the turn of events and de-
clare that success for their forces Is
now certain. Friends CT Huerta declare
that Huerta is acting in a constitu-
tional manner and that what he has
done was forced upon him by circum-
stances.
Secretary Bryan made public this af-
ternoon the text of the decree by which
Huerta assumed the powers Of die
tator. Mr.. Bryan had no comment to
make on the decree, nor would he dis
cuss the general situation further than
to say that the United States would
keep the powers informed Of what this
government was doing.

noon, after the meeting OF the Cabinet,
the Foreign Minister. Senior Moheno'
locked himself in his Offices and refused
TO receive callers. His secretary said that

The most startling rumor which be-
CANA current was that the American
Charge was to be given his passports

as such that il could no longer CON
tinue TO receive Washington repre-
sentative. II was also said that Presi-

asked 10 leave Mexico.
Senior Moheno denied that there was
any truth in these rumors.

information as to what the government
of the United States intends. but so
far as my government Is concerned

While the attaches OF the embassy are
dumb respecting the contents OF the
Washington memorandum. II Is learned
from other sources that the American
government has notified President Huerta
that owing TO the high handed manner
I'm which the Mexican Congress was sup
pressed no free elections were possible
and that no President elected under the
conditions existing would be acceptable
to Washington.
