The authorities at Washington are IN

Twelve troops Of the Fifteenth U.

ders from Secretary Of War Garrison,
| and the expectation of every man in
the seven regiments, cavalry and in
| fantry, is that they will soon receive
orders to cross the frontier into Mex
| leo.
All this the news OF to-day brings
TO the Mexican Capital, with the sug-
| gestton that affairs, indeed. have
re+c ted crisis In this troubled r,-
public. 1t is generally expected here
that the United States will ATTEMPT
soon the elimination of Victorina
| Huerta, provisional President and
I dictator. The repeated actions Of
frar In, r. g.
constitution and laws of his country,
1 the inability of his arbitrary admin
istration to hold constitutional cleo
ton, his evident defiance of foreign
! intervention-all mark Huerta as An
undesirable in the eyes OF those who
| desire the peace OF Mexico.
A large portion of the Mexican
| press Is intensely loyal to Huerta ana
is bitter against the Americans. Az
| a result OF their editorials and
warped news the feeling of the por>l-
lace is infiamed highly against peoo,e
| Of the United States, and II app.sr.
! that Intervention by the Government
at Washington, or any other action
/ whatsoever, will be thankless task.
Definite Action Expected.
However, some such definite action
| is expected shortly. It is understood
! Tat the conference Of President WI
, sons Cabinet, drawn out through sew
| eral days has about achieved a de-
| cision OF some sort, which will be an
nounced in formal statement to the
| world powers.
One result of the American deci-
sion, It is believed, will be the at
tempt to provide means for holding l.
free and fair election, at which the
Constitutlonalists, who compose the
party OF the rebellion, will have the
opportunity to vote and protection at
the polls This, It is claimed. has
been denied them. The American
Government, It is likely, will suggest
means for holding such election, and
even may direct its machinery. 1t is
known that President Wilson favors
the appointment Of someone accent
able to all factions as provisional
Pr, sident, in order to conduct a satsf.
fact 'ry election.
Everything resolves itself into .le
intention OF the United States TO sea
Huerta eliminated. With the support
of the foreign governments. il is De-
lieved this would be accomplished. al
though by what means Is not estab-
lished. Those who know Huertas
personality de 'lare he will not yield to
any foreign pressure, or to anything
except the force Of the Constitution
allsts' arms, Several things are being
suggested by representa- tives of the
powers, includi..g moral support Of
the Constituencies, and the liftius
OF the embargo on arms as means of
obtaining the dictators elimination.
Powers Scoff at United States
Everyone in Mexico City expects
definite action OF some sort from
Washington. 1t became known to-day
that representatives OF foreign powers
in Mexico are crlticising the United
States for its delay in taking action
looking toward peace In Mexico. The
French Minister was openly critical
of the American policy, and the Span
ish Minister was sarcastic. He made
an ironic reference to the invasion OF
the rights of Spanish natiopsis while
