0usting of AIdape, Only Minister
Friendly to America, Closes
Diplomatic Doors.

MEXICO CITY, Nov. IL
General Huerta will fight it out
to the end. Negotiations with
the United States, which aim to
Dust him from office are at an
end. In fact, diplomatic rela-
tons have practically been
broke off. ~
This omnibus statement was made
by an official of the Mexican govern
ment to the International News Serv-
ice to-day. In explaining that part
of his statement as to the breaking
off of diplomatic relations. he said:
Charge d'Affaires O'Shaughnessy
can approach no member of the Cab
met freely. When Envoy Lind left
here only Minister of the Interior AL
dape showed any cordiality to
O'Shaughnessy, 1t was through AL
dape's efforts that negotiations were
renewed, and now that Aldape has
been forced out, O'Shaughnessy is in
a peculiar position.
He is persona non grata to Huerta
because he Is the official representa-
tive of the United States, and Senior
Moheno, Minister of Foreign Affairs,
is a creature of Huerta'
O'Shaughnessy's personal property
all has been packed up and he is ready
to leave for Vera Cruz at a moments
notice. If he does go, and the United
States Embassy officials expect him
to leave within as hours, it is prob
able that his departure will be taken
without any official notice to Huerta.
Assassin After Aldape.
Friends of Senior Aldape, ousted
from his Cabinet by Huerta, declared
to-day that he would be lucky If he
got out of Mexico without being kill
ed. They charged that an attempt
had been made to ASA ssinate Aldape
in his private car as he was leaving
for Vera Cry last night. A man in
civilian clothing, who was found to
be colonel in the federal army. was
discovered in the car. He was turned
over to the rurales.
Probably because he feared for his
own life if he spoke otherwise Aldape
praised the dictator when he left.
81 am on cordial terms with General
Huerta, whom l regard as patriot
and a strong man." said the Minis
ter of the Interior. Il expect the Sen,
ate to confirm my appointment as
Minister to France within ten days"
Aldape denied that he had been
forced out of the Cabinet because
he had counseled uerta to resign.
When Senior Aldape left for Vera
Cruz on his way to France, he car
ried with him an autographed photo
of General Huerta. Aldape called at
the National Palace to say farewell
to the dictator, and the latter, after
cordially embracing him, gave him the
photograph, which bore the following
inscription:
"To Manuel Aldape, the best mem
Der Of my Cabinet and the ablest
civilian to govern Mexico"
There was a touch of irony in this,
for 1t is felt in many quarters that
Huerta brought about the virtual ex-
pulsion of Aldape because he feared
the latter had designs upon the Pres
ident's chair.
Appeal to Powers Hinted.
General Garcia Hidalgo, former
Military Governor of the State Of
Aguas Calientes, held q conferences
last night with Huerta that lasted uu-
I'll after midnight. He probably viii
be appointed to succeed Aldape.
That the dictator is making soma
sort OF appeal to the powers was in
advertently related by Foreign Min
lister Moheno. When asked for SOME
