ULTIMATUM ORDERS
HUERTA TO RESIGN
DEMAND FROM WASHINGTON HAS
NOT YET BEEN ANSWERED
BY MEXICAN DICTATOR.
Elimination Of Himself Officially or
PointbIank Refusal to Comply With
Demand are Only Courses, Open
TO Provisional President.

Mexico City.-President Huerta
must resign the presidency of Mex
aco without loss of time, and
must not leave as his successor Cen
aeral Aureliano Banquet, his minis
ter of war, nor any other member OF
his official family or of the unofficial
coterie whom he might be expected
to control.
This ultimatum from Washington
was conveyed to President Huerta
Through his private secretary, Senior
Rabago, by Nelson OShaughnessy,
American charge d'affaires, acting un-
der instructions from the state depart
ment.
Senior Rabago presented the memoir
andum to his chief late Sunday, but
as yet President Huerta has returned
no answer and as far as can be learn.
ed, has guarded its contents from al.
most all of his official and intimate
counsellors.
Those who learned of the Washing
ton note regard General Huertas pc
sition as one in which he will be forced
to give one of two answers-refusal
point blank to comply with the de-
mand, possibly going so far as to hand
the diplomatic representative his pass
ports, or the elimination Of himself
officially.
Those most intimate with the presi
dent insist that the latter course will
not be taken for many reasons, chiei
among which is that such action would
be tantamount to submission to the
rebels. Official Mexico is no longer II
doubt that the Washington admins
tration favors the rebel cause, and Is
convinced that this is the means
adopted by President Wilson and Sec
rotary Bryan to assists Carrana to

FOUR REGIONAL RESERVE
BANKS is AGREEMENT
After Two Years the Federal Reserve
Board May Add As Many AS
May Be Deemed Necessary.

Washington.-The senate banking
and currency committee on Friday
tentatively agreed on four regional re-
serve banks for the proposed new cur
rency systm, with a provision that af-
ter two years the federal reserve
board may add as many additional
banks as 1t deems necessary, not OK
ceeding twelve The pending bill
fixes the number at twelve and it has
been understood that the adminisrra-
ton would not consent to have it re-
duced below nine.
The sharp reduction in the number
of reserve banks was the first radical
amendment the committee has agreed
upon and it was earnestly opposed by
the administration supporters in the
committee. Senators O'Gorman and
Hitchcock, however, voted with the
five Republicans for the reduction
leaving but five Democrats, Owen
Pomerene, Hollis, Reed and Shafroth
behind the administration proposal

EFFORTS TO INDUCE
HUERTA TO RETIRE
wilson TRYING TO ELIMINATE
DICTATOR IN ORDER TO SOLVE
MEXICAN PROBLEM.
Policy Of United States Made Known
in Diplomatic Circles Abroad and
General Support is Expected.

ashington.-Though every official
of the United States government has
been cautioned to maintain absolute
silence while the plans of the Wash
ington administration for solving the
Mexican problem are worked out, it
became known from many well in
formed sources on Sunday that su-
preme effort is being made to bring
abut General Victoriano Huertas re-
tirement from the provisional presi-
dency of Mexico.
1t Is the belief of the administra-
ton that any plan for constitution
al election in Mexico depends on
Huerta's elimination, and some dec
laration from Huerta now is awaited.
The future policy of the United
States is being quietly and informally
made known in diplomatic circles
abroad and there are intimations be-
fore many days foreign governments
generally will have been apprised Of
the American attitude. 1t is unlikely
there will be any publication of the
American policy until Europe has
been formally sounded out. What the
United States desires, it is believed
Is that the powers shall indicate their
support of it's efforts to solve the
problem before it approaches the
Mexico City administration in ffnal
effort to secure the elimination OF
Huerta.

POLITICS IN AUSTRIA
After Much Toll a New Party Is
Formed in Dual Empire.
Count Julius Andrassy Has Succeed
ed In Forming a Formidable Poilt-
lcal Group In Hungary Called
the Constitutional Party.

Vienna.-After months Of toll, Count
julius Andrassy, the able son OF a
great father, has succeeded in form
ing a new and formidable political
party in Hungary, the so-called Con-
stitutional party. 1t starts with
strength of "a in the Hungarian par

emperor las their king) and with
Austria proper in 1867, giving Hun

points. The 48ers, on the other hand
otherwise known as the Kossuthers
remain irreconcilable and demand

At present and for many years pas
the 48ers are in the minority.
Now the platform Of Count Andras

points it is identical with the declared
principles of the party now in power

premier, Count Stephan Tisza, ant

The new party, it is true, has takel
