Mexico City. Nov. ia coup
a. etat appears imminent The ex-
pectation is that General Huerta, pro
visional president, will be arrested by
order of General Banquet, who will
have the support of the army chiefs
In this move toward restoring peace
IN Mexico.
Significance is attached by the pub
lie to the fact that General Huerta has
gone to the castle of Chapultepec. It
Is taken for granted that his move is
TO insure his greater personal safety.
He had told his stan and personal
friends that II any disaster came he
would be the only one to suffer
The report has been revived, how
ever, that Huerta intends to resign
after congress convenes In regular SEES
sion Thursday This was based on
declaration attributed to a member OF
the new chamber Of deputies on Mon
day.
General Huerta proceeded with his
efforts to organize the new congress
regardless of the notice given to him
by John Lind that serious conse-
quences would follow such a step.
Therefore an early breaking OF rela-
tons between the United States and
Mexico was regarded as inevitable.
Whether the United States embassy
will be withdrawn appears to be mat
ter Of which Nelson O'Shaughnessy,
American charge d'affaires, is uncer-
tain.
Organization of congress was com
pleted on Monday. Enough senators
we're gathered to form a quorum. Gen.
Francisco Pronces was chosen tenn
porary chairman and a committee on
credentials was appointed. A similar
committee of the chamber Of deputies
began revising the deputies creden-
tails.
President Hue-ta talked at night to
his stan and personal friends regard
ing the possibility of Intervention by
the United States. He intimated that
he would be ready to resist such step.
The opinion was expressed in vari-
Gus circles that the United States soon
would inaugurate a blockade of Next
can ports.
The exodus Of foreigners, especially
Americans, continued all day. The
trains to Vera Cruz we're jammed.
Many American citizens reached the
capital from small towns in the In
terror Many declared the situation
had reached its most acute stage.
A number Of business concerns
whose headquarters are abroad re-
-ceived cabled instructions to send the
women and children of their employees
out of the federal capital.
Admiral Won Hintze, German minis
ter. declared that he believed there
was no reason for anxiety.
"A plan is being considered" he
said. by which armed Intervention
will most surely be avoided"
The German minister, however,
convened the German merchants and
informed them that an American
blockade of Mexicos ports was COM
ing in three days. He asked the
names of the merchants, also an in
ventory of the goods they expected
from abroad in the immediate future,
saying this was for the purpose of
getting the goods through the block
ade IL possible.
Vera Cruz, Nov. 19-Manuel Cara
: Aldape, who recently resigned as
Huerta's minister OF the interior,
sailed from Vera Cruz on Monday on
the steamship Espagne with his wife
and children. Before the steamer left
port Aldape told some OF his follow
ers that Minister Moheno planned TO
poison Huerta. Aldape was escorted
20 the quay by troops from the City
of Mexico and was virtually under ar
rest, secret police following him to
the steamer. He said. however, he
was proceeding to Paris to take up
the duties OF Mexican minister to
France.
