Washington, Nov. 1.-THE first
move of the United States against the
Huerta government will be blockade
of Mexican ports, according to reports
sent to foreign powers by their dip
lomatic representatives here following
notice from Secretary Bryan that the
United States had decided not to rec
ognize any acts of the Huerta govern
ment or of the new Congress which
Huerta proposes to install.
President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan were at work on the situation
all day and it is confidently asserted
In official circles that the United
States has practically completed its
plans for ousting Huerta.
One significant report was that
Charge O'Shaughnessy of the Ameri-
can embassy at Mexico City had ar
ranged for the removal of the embassy
archives.
The United States gunboat Wheel
ing made hurried departure from
Vera Cruz. She is proceeding to Tux
pam, 145 miles northwest of Vera
Cruz, in response to an urgent tele-
gram from the American consular
agent, who advised Rear Admiral
Fletcher that rebels were about to at
tack the town and warship was
needed to protect foreign property.
The State Department made public
Huerta's statement the Diplomatic
Corps in Mexico City, the burden OF
which was-that the presidential elec.
tion would be declared null and void
but that the newly-elected members of
Congress would soon be installed.
The Mexican embassy here, which
received copy of the note, declared
in an official statement that ''it may
| be assumed that the dispatches re-
ceived represent the attitude OF
President Huerta and indicate the ma
ture of his reply to the inquiry of the
government of the United States re-
garding his purposes in view of the re-
cent presidential election"
Bryan denied that any negotiations
were being conducted with the Constl-
tutionalists by the United States gov
ernment but those who have discussed
the arms question with President Will
son in the last few days say he seems
| to favor lifting the embargo. while a
month ago he was firmly set against it.

Bare Necessity,

A lecturer was discoursing on the
prodigal son. To show his audience
to what depths the wayward youth
had sunk, by way of a modern illus
tration he said:
"A lady left home with good inten-
tions, but evidently got into bad COM
pany. He eventually had to pawn
his overcoat in order to raise money
to keep himself However, his coat
and waistcoat had to go the same
way. Again he needed money, and
had to pawn his trousers and likewise
his shirt and vest. Then he came to
himself"
