 ERNMENT AT THIS TIME.
LACK Of FUNDS MAY DO IT
Rumors That Embassy at Mexico City Will Be Closed Are Character. lzed as Fakes-Fiuerta's Cabinet Members Leaving Him.

Washington, Nov. 17.-That the United States in it's policy toward the provisional government in Mexico is content to await the outcome of the steady pressure being exerted to bring about the downfall of the Huerta regime, was apparent today in official circles here. Exciting rumors from Mexico City wholly failed to rufile the calm confidence of Presi- dent Wilson of Secretary Bryan.

O'thaughnessy, the American charge affaires, was about to quit Mexico City and it was stated that no orders had been given either to Mir 'Shaughnessy or John Lind at Vera Cruz, to cave Mexico.

 Indications, based on the few ad- missions of the state department of ficials, are that no action is contem- plated at present that would precipi- tate crisis in the situation On theI other hand, it was remarked that no one here can foretell what action General 'Huerta might take in the about such a crisis.
 Secretary Bryan has been informed by MT. 'Shaughnessy of the reslg- nation of Manuel Garza Aldape, as minister of the interior. but he has heard only rumors Of the intention of General Banquet to surrender his. portfolio as minister of war. While in some quarters there was a disposi- forerunner of disintegration of the Huerta regime, in others it was pointed out that it might mark the adoption by General Huerta of more dCtlNc anu NlSuipuS PNAiSN "iu N'N more defiant of the United States 
 An early development of his pur- pose is expected in view of the fact he must submit his special message to the congress not later than Thurs day.
 The possibility of an interruption of the railroad communication he. tween the City of Mexico and the sea port of Vera Cruz which is now prac' tically the only outlet from the capi- tai. is giving considerable concern 10 the officials here and it is said that any attempt to thus completely isolate Americans and other foreign CTS in the Mexican capital would re suit in quick action by the United States to prevent it.
