MEXICO CITY. Nov. 1.-Frerce
fighting between rebels and federals
is raging at Monterey. Four Ameri-
can battleships are sailing from
Hampton Roads to Mexican waters.
The authorities at Washington are IN
determined conference concerning
plans for putting an end TO strife IN
Mexico. Foreign ambassadors ara
grumbling ct the delay of the United
States
Twelve troops of the Fifteenth L.
s. Cavalry from three military posts
are on their way to the frontier. Six
regiments Of infantry are also on their
way to San Antonio, Texas, under or
ders from Secretary of War Garrison,
and the expectation of every man in
the seven regiments, cavalry and in
fantry. is that they will soon receive
orders to cross the frontier into Mex
leo
to the Mexican Capital. with the sug-
gestion that affairs, indeed, have
reached crisis in this troubled r@-
public. 1t is generally expected here
that the United States will attempt
soon the elimination of Victortna
Huerta, provisional President and
dictator. The repeated actions Of
Huerta in flying in the face of the
constitution and laws of his country,
the inability of his arbitrary admin
istration to hold constitutional cleo
ton, his evident defiance of foreign
intervention--all mark Huerta as an
undesirable in the eyes of those who
desire the peace of Mexico.
A large portion of the Mexican
press is intensely loyal to Huerta and
Is bitter against the Americans. AS
result OF their editorials and
warped news, the feeling of the por>I-
lace is intiamed highly against people
OF the United States. and it appears
that intervention by the Government
at Washington, or any other action
| whatsoever, will be a thankless task.
Definite Action Expected.
However, some such definite action
is expected shortly 1t is understood
that the conference of President VII
sons Cabinet, drawn out through sew
eral days. has about achieved a de-
cision of some sort, which will be an

world powers
One result of the American deci-
sion, it is believed, will be the at
tempt to provide means for holding =
free and fair election, at which the
Constitutionalists, who compose the
party of the rebellion, will have the
opportunity to vote and protection at
the polls. This, 1t is claimed. has
been denied them The American
Government, It is likely, will suggest
means for holding such election, and
even may direct its machinery. It is
known that President Wilson favo-s
the appointment of someone accept
able TO all factions as provisional
Pr. Sident, in order to conduct a satsi.
fact Nry election.
Everything resolves itself into the
intention OF the United States to see
Huerta eliminated. With the support
Of the foreign governments, it is oe-
lieved this would be accomplished al
though by what means Is not estab-
lished. Those who know Huerta'a
personality de 'lare he will not yield 70
any foreign pressure, or to anything
except the force Of the Constitution
alists' arms. Several things are being
suggested by representatives OF the
powers, includi..g moral support Ct
the Constitutionalists, and the lifting
Of the embargo on arms as means of
obtaining the dictator's elimination.
Powers Scott at United States.
Everyone in Mexico City expects
definite action of some sort from
Washington. II became known to-day
that representatives Of foreign powers
in Mexico are criticising the United
States for It's delay in taking action
looking toward peace in Mexico. The
French Minister was openly critical
Of the American policy, and the Span
ish Minister was sarcastic. He made
an ironic reference to the invasion OF
the rights Of Spanish nationals while
