demonstration in force is one. Another is a series
Of demands to be made upon the authorities at

to be followed, in the, event Of failure, by the AIRED
cooperation of the United States. with the Mexican
Constitutionalists The third is the cessation Of all
relations with the government now existing in the
City of Mexico, leaving it to file liberal element IN
that city, and the .constitutionallst party to bring
about ,Huerta's elimination and the, establishment 81,
