plans for putting an end 10 strife IN
Mexico. Foreign ambassadors ar
grumbling at the delay of the United
States.
Twelve troops OF the Fifteenth [.
$. Cavalry from three military posts
are on their way to the frontier. Six
regiments of infantry are also on their
way to San Antonio, Texas. under or
ders from Secretary of War Garrison,
and the expectation Of every man III
the seven regiments. cavalry and in
fantry, is that they will soon receive
orders to cross the frontier into Mex

All this the news OF 1o-day brings
to the Mexican Capital. with the sus.
gestion that affairs. indeed. hava
reached a crisis in this troubled "a.
public. 1t is generally expected hero
That the United States will attemra

constitution and laws of his countrv.

ton. his evident defiance of forei m
intervention-all mark Huerta as an
undesirable in the eyes OF those who
desire the peace of Mexico.

free and fair election, at which the
Constitutionalists. who compose the
party Of the rebellion, win have the
opportunity to vote and protection ut
the polls. This, it is claimed. has
been denied them The American
Government, It is likely, will suggesg
means for holding such election. and
even may direct it's machinery. 1t j.
known that President Wilson favors
the appointment of someone accept
able to all factions as provisional
Pre- yident, in order to conduct a satsi4

Everything resolves itself into tho
intention of the United States to see
Huerta eliminated. With the support
of the foreign governments, ii Is pc
lieved this would be accomplished. al
though by what means is not estab-
lished. Those who know Huerta's
personality DE- 'lare he will not yield ~
any foreign pressure, or to anything
except the force OF the Constitution

suggested by representatives of the
powers, including moral support &C
