sion of Congress that will last far
/ Into December.
At the same time Senior Moheno,
4 Minister Of Foreign Affairs, and 9th
or supporters of the government were
ndustriously circulating rumors that
the United States soon would recog-
rlze Huerta's government. Moheno
4 said TO friends who visited him after
4 tho first session of Congress had ad-
Sjourned
81 have reason to believe that Pres
&4dent Wilson will soon recognize Gen
.ral Huerta's Government and apollo
elze for his recent attitude"
4 No credence was given to this re-
i mort among members Of the diplo-
matte corps, who have been officially
advised that it is the intention Of
. President Wilson never to recognize
! Euerta or his acts.
As result of the Congressional in
4 dorsement of General Huerta, the way
IL now clear for him to retire with
honor" but his friends declared to-
day that he had no intention of sur
4 rendering office at the present time.
Mexico will be united if any at
4 tempt is made to force General Huer-
IA from power" said an aide-d camp
Of the dictator. This country is
able to take care of its own internal
j affairs"
Support Promised.
Then he pointed out a part Of the
4 speech made by Senior Tamariz, pre-
siding officer of the Chamber Of Dep
mites after General Huerta's message
had been received last evening as an
evidence that Huerta will have gen
eral support in resisting any demands
by the United States.
senior TamariZ had said:
You can count upon our co-opera-
q ton IN maintaining national sover-
Fl eighty which you have sustained UP
10 to-day, and you can count also
upon US to help you to bring about
& peace and union of all Mexicans."
The failure of 81 Catholic members
81 of Congress to attend the opening
q session shows, however, that Huerta
Fl is unable to dictate to all the legis-
Il lators. These q win be unable &c
81 defeat the plans made by the Huer-
4 yaist members, and it is probable that
Fl they will take no part in the proceed
Il ings,
An additional lement Of danger
was given to the international stu
Il alton to-day by the news that Evaris-
Il TO and Daniel Madero have sought
refuge in the American Consulate al
Vera Cruz. It is understood that Cen
era Mas, the Federal commander
at Vera Cruz. has demanded their
surrender to the Mexican officials.
Legislation Planned.
The real legislative work of Con-
gress is scheduled to begin this even
q ing The original plan of merely in
dorsing Huerta's actions and declar-
ing the presidential and vice presiden
tial elections void Id apparently beer
supplanted by a program of ambitious
legislation embracing ways and
4 means Of raising money so as to make
4 foreign loans unnecessary.
In fact, the length of the term Is
4 uncertain, for General Huerta is I'M
derstood to be insisting that Congress:
officially go on record with program
for the pacification of the country
The grave question of raising money
and pacifcation are so closely linked
that General Huerta and his adviser:
believe that the legislators can Worl
upon both at the same time.
The method of replenishing the ma
tional treasury, now thought to b.
4 the most feasible, is the granting o
mineral concessions in consideration
4 for sums Of cash paid directly to the
Government 1t is estimated that the
Government could raise probably S1O,'
UOOO00 without much difficulty by
granting oil concessions and rights
for railroad construction. The com
pany foremost in the struggle fol
these rights is the Pearson corpora
ton, headed by Lord Cowdray, blu
President Wilson has specifically OPP
posed the concession of the oil right!
TO the British corporation.
Belgian Financiers Ambitious.
Belgian financial group has of
Tered the Huerta Government a bis
sum for conce ssion to build 5000
miles Of railway in spite of Presiden
wilson's attempts to force the elimi'
nation of Huerta through "financia
strangulation."
In the meantime conditions in the
Capital are going from bad to worse
IN addition to the scarcity of money
and the famine conditions among the
poor, there is a possibility that al
me industrial companies may be com
peHed to close down on account o
me lack of fuel. There are less thar
4V0O tons of coal in the Capital now
