WILSON CLASSES
HUERTA WITH FOE
u. S. to Block All Shipments of
Arms Into Mexico.
TO KEEP STRICT NEUTRALITY
PRESIDENTS Plan Supersedes Move to
Admit Weapons to Rival Fac
tions-WiIson Denies Request
to Aid Americans.

Washington, July IS. - President
Wilson will intervene peacefully in
Mexico to restore peace and order to
that distracted country.
Information obtained Wednesday is
to the effect that the president soon
Will appoint commissioners to pro-
coed to the neiehboring republic for
the purpose of inducing President
Huerta and General Carranza, the lead
or of the revolutlonists, to agree to
hold a. special election.
This election is to be absolutely fair
and untrammeled. The result is to be
accepted by all factions, which are to
agree in advance that they will stand
by the man chosen by the people.
Following a conference with law
makers President Wilson has decided
that no faction in the present Mexican
revolution shall obtain arms or am
munition from the United States and
that neutrality must be observed
This was the Interpretation OF the
neutrality laws decided upon after
conferences with Senator Bacon and
representative Flood, chairmen Of the
TWO congressional committees on for
eign relations, at the White House.
While the Mexican rebels have been
getting no arms heretofore, the days
developments mean that the Huerta
administration viii be deprived of the
privilege previously given the Madero
government, and the United States
Will treat all sides alike in the pres
ent dispute. 4G
The situation was precipitated by
the recent complaints of the Constitu-
tionalists and their sympathizers in
this country that If the United States
did not virtually assist the Huerta
government by selling it munitions OF
var termination of hostflittes would
be possible.
Sentiment in favor of q new policy
grew In congress to such extent that a
canvass was made of the foreign reia-
lions committee in both houses deal
Ing with foreign relations.
It was found that there would be lit
tie objections to repeating the Joint
resolution OF March II, 1912, giving
the president discretionary power to
prohibit expectations of arms or mu-
nltlons OF war to countries where do
nestle violence existed, but permitting
him to allow the legally constituted
government of any country to buy var
supplies as usual.
Senator Bacon, however, reiterated
as ne left the White House that the
Huerta administration could not De
considered a legitimate successor OF
the Madero regime or legally constl-
tuted government
The president examined other
phases of the Mexican situation with
Messrs. Bacon and Flood, who said
later that no action OF any kind or
announcement of policy was likely
until Ambassador Wilson had con-
ferred with administration officials
here
Acting Secretary Roosevelt con
ferred at length on the situation with
Rear Admiral Frank E. Beatty, com
mander of the fourth division OF the
Atlantic fleet, who has just returned
with his flagship, the Minnesota, from
a tour of duty in the Gulf of Mexico.
Mr.. Roosevelt said afterwards that
the conference was entirely informal
and unofficial.
