MEXICO CITY, Nov s.--A major
ity of the ENJOYS of foreign countries
here have informed General Huerta
that they will not support him in his
continued policy of defiance to the
United States
The powers Of Europe are tired Of
the dictators tactics, and this
amounts to their signature to the or
der that he must get out
At the time this became known to-
day there was much activity in off,
cial circles, and 1t was reported that
Huerta was preparing to abdicate as
gracefully as possible under the cir
cumsta noes.
This report was vehemently denied
by an attache Of the National Palace,
who pointed to Huerta's war prepara-
tons as being indicative of his flu
ture program Of action.
Run1ors few thick and fast. Re-
ports that Huerta had already re-
signed were current, but they were
denied. 1t was also reported that
Special Envoy John Lind had pre-
pared a peremptory note. 1t was de-

member Of the Mexican Government.
General Trucy ALBERT, former COM
naander of the military zone, who was

Paying Troops in Advance.

General Huerta has ordered a new
tax OF 20 cents to be imposed upon
every barrel of petroleum sold in Mex

enacted by Congress, and if Huerta is
still in power when the new Congress
convenes this month that will be one
of the first bills introduced.
Callers at the National Palace last
night, most Of the Government bust
ness being transacted at night, said
that Huerta showed signs of excite
ment. The Dictator and two of his
advisors had spent several hours ear
ly in the evening at the Cafe Colon,
and Huerta had consumed a quantity
of wine and brandy, against the ad-
vice of his friends, who, feared that
he might make a move in the tangled
international political situation which
would plunge disaster upon Mexico.
Dlssension in Cabinet.
Dissension has broken out in Huer
ta's Cabinet and it is reported that
Foreign Minister Moheno threatened
to resign unless Minister Of Interior
Aldape is ousted. Political enemies
of Huerta declare that Moheno is
completely under the domination Of
Huerts and that Aldape, who is more
of a conservative, objected to the
radical policies proposed.
Press dispatches from Vera Cruz
stating that the United States battle
ship Rhode Island had entered the
barber and lies anchored with her
guns trained on the city failed to-day
to break the feeling of apathy of the
citizens at large.
II was reported from Vera Cruz,
however, that the incident caused ex-
element there which was heightened
by an increase OF rebel activities in
the neiKhborhood.

lilies fearing that war is imminent,
are preparing to leave the country
