U,S, TIRES Of PARLEY|NC
AND IS READY To STRIKE
Arrogant Dictator viii Either Fall
Before Invading Americans or
Be Removed by Those Mexicans
Who Seek to Restore Peace.
Envoy Lind's Departure Front
Mexico City Seems To Be the
Final Blow to Hopes of Settle
ment Without a Clash at Arms.

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 15.-Huerta is
doomed. The menace of Uncle Sans
power overshadows Mexico. The die
tator maintains his stubborn defiance.
and the United States Government
has lost patience with him. There
viii be no more parley. as both John
Lind and Nelson O'Shaughnessy have
notified Huerta.
Whether the dictator will fall be-
fore the force of American arms or
whether he will be removed by the
Mexicans themselves who desire
peace. will all depend upon develop
ments-the developments of the next
few days However it is. Huerta will
be removed. The United States Gov
eminent, through it's representa-
in the Mexican capital, has promised
that much with a determination that
Will not be gainsaid.
Lind's Exit Is Final Blow.
John Lind's departure from Mexico
City, because of the virtual scorn by
HGerta of the utimatum of the Unit
ed States, is considered the final blow
to hopes of peaceful negotiations be-
tween the dictator and the govern
ment at Washington.
President Wilson and Secretary OF
State Bryan, maintaining their policy
of reserve, have made no comment
on Lind's departure. according to the
news that comes to Mexico City, nor
any definite announcement as to ac-
ton by the United States in regard
to Mexican affairs. However, ii in
promised that they will issue within
a few days a statement setting forth
| their policy.
1t is believed that this statement
will take the form Of message from
President Wilson to the United States.
1t will clearly define the attitude and
the contemplated action of the Unit
| ed States Government. 1t will re-
iterate the declaration that the Unit
ed States win never recognize a gov
eminent established by arbitrary
force it will set forth as we'll the
reasons for the refusal by the United
States to recognize any acts of tho
new Congress Of Mexico.
Huerta Sorry Figure.
Huerta is a pitiful spectacle. He is
seen In public only in places of the
widest gayety. He rs given to strange
disappearance, and twice during the
last week his closest friends thought
he had fled, only to find that he had
stolen away by himself for period
of moody secluslon He is a broken
figure.
Many Of his friends there are who
openly urge him to resign To these
suggestions he replies CURLY, savage
ly but he follows these outbursts by
peniods of sullen silence.
Huerta was given until to-day to
decide upon his answer to the United
States. The first message demanded
an answer the same day Failing
to receive a reply Envoy Lind left
Mexico. Then he sent from Vera
Cruz the absolute declaration that
only until Saturday would be vouch-
safed the provisional President in
which to comply with the demands
Of the Washington authorities
The respite was granted mainly be-
cause Of thee intercession of the
friends of the dictator, who assured
Lind that he could not be reached
and that he had not been given time
to consider the demands. 1t is said
he will try to proffer a compromise
The ultimatum Of the American
Government bears the alternative Of
an immediate blockade of Mexican
ports by battleships OF the United
States.
The Ultimatum of u. S.
The main specification of Washing

through Charge d'Affaires O'Shaugh-
messy and less directly through John
Lind, was that the dictator prevent
the newly elected Congress from con
vening, and at the same time make
this action known to the members az
the diplomatic corps of the United
States and other governments
The prevention of the assembly OF
Congress has been one Of the essential
points in the negotiations between
Washington and Mexico City. It was
so regarded because it was believed
that the new Congress would imme-
