FORMER LOCAL PASTOR . WRITES FROM MEXICO Rev. R. A. Carhart States That His Wife Has Left
 the Country.

Probably the first communication from Mexico to reach this city since the commencement of hostilities there. was received this morning by a mem- Der of the local Trinity Methodist church. It is from Rev. Raymond A, fishing House in Mexico City, Mexico, who served as assistant to Rev. Dr. Bell at the church in New Britain some eight years ago.
 Although the letter was written early this month. as Che April 10 post mark indicates, it pictures the situa- tion at that time as quite serious. 1t is plain that troyble was anticipated long before that time for the missive kstates' that Mrs. Carhart and her child left the disturbed country the last of February.
 Rev. MT. Carhart, who has a num- Der of friends in this city, writes in part: "a
 ,mConditions down here continue very bad,f though as I have indicated. they have brought us no special un- easiress yet in Mexico City. The present government here has main- tained order where it has had con- trol, and has done unexpectedly well in many ways, considering the diffi- culties ef various kinds it has had to meet. s.e0t the rebels the strongest figure at present seems to be Villa, and he seems to represent anything hut the type under which permanent ordeF and peace could be expected, or tna type to make a ruler. So, while many of us are not Huertistas, and do not approve at all of a great deal in the present order, we fail to see promise of anything else better, if as good, if a change is effected. A s.sR l4S y
 eve have realized that no trouble was likely in Mexico cty for hnz time to come, and probablS, ,t1ot witis. out ample warning = l@S kss

 Plans Are Laid.
 < Administration leaders today laid plans for raising war revenue , in case the army has to go into Mexico. Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo discussed plans for raising revenue with Commissioner of Internal Revenue Osborne and signi- fled his intention of taking it up later with Chairman Underwood of the house ways and means committee and Senator Simm ons, chairman of the finance committee of the senate.
 Summoned By Wilson,.
 Secretary Bryan and Robert Lan- sing, counsellor of the state depart ment were summoned to the White House by President Wilson at 9 o'clock today. The president con- ferred with them in the White House library instead of the executive of flee. tY
 Secretary Lane, the first cabinet member to leave the White House conference, said that the president had decided to issue statement dur ing the day outlining definitely the policy that will be pursued in Mexi- co, It was understood that this statement would deal particularly with the situation in the north of Mexico, as indicated in the Carranza note.
 . Huerta's Action Considered.
 Secretary of State Bryan as he left the White House conference said that the action of Huerta in handing Charge O'Shaughnessy his passports had been considered among other things. No decision had been made, he said, as to what nation would be asked to care for American. affairs in the Mexican capital, or as to what action would be taken as to Ameri- can consuls in Mexican cities.
 General Wotherspoon, chief of staff of the army, and General Wood reached the war department shortly after g o'clock. s Neither would dis cuss the sitaeti wi ofA Heads of depart

RusTta's ACt Believed to Be forc-
 cast Of Declaration Of War.
MEXICAN CHARGE 10 LEAVE
Telegram to State Department Says American Minister Will Leave Mexico City Tonight or Friday Morning.

Washington. April 23.-N elson OShaughnessy, the American charge at Mexico City. has been handed his passports by General Huerta and is preparing to leave Mexico City. He telegraphed the state department Ia st night as follows:
 Having been given my passports, I am leaving tomorrow night or Fri day morning. The message was given out at 3:2O
 Although the message from the charge was not given out until 3:20 a. m.. it was generally believed that it had been in possession of officials for at least three hours and that this was one of the subjects discussed when the President and Secretary Bryan were awakened and talk ed over the telephone about the Carranza note.
 e'. Algara May Leave.
 Charge Algara already had re- ceived an intimation from his gov ernment that he was to use his own Judgment. about quitting Washington and it is probable that when he learns of the prospective departure of OShaughnessy, he, too, will leave.
 Huerta's handing of passports to Charge O'Shaughnessy was regarded as a most sensational developme ent in the situation, as it was believed to forecast a declaration of war on the part of Huerta. The giving of pass ports to a minister or charge d'af- faires in most cases though not in variably, has preceded a declaration of war
 Mexican Charge Silent.
 When MT. Algara, charge of the Mexican embassy here, was informed early today by attaches of his office that Huerta had given Mr. O'Shaugh- messy his passports, he made no com 1 m ent stating that he would make an EHnp ouncement later. MT. Algara, it 1 was. expected, would notify the state aepartment of instructions from Mex icoseCitys to leave his post.
 Demands His Passports.
 Charge sAlgara,S. after conferring 1 with Secretary of State Bryan said that he had made formal demand foi his passports and expected to re ' ceive them late today. He said he 1 would leave Washington tonight and | probably would go to Europe. i Algara said that no foreign rep. resentatives here had yet been desig. mated to handle Mexican affairs,Qabur ] that the situation probably would be ! turned over to the French embassy Documents Being Prepareik ! Secretary of State Bryan, just be. l fore going into conference with tho president today said that Charge Al. gara's passports were being prepared | in the state department, and wouldsbe delivered to- him late today. f1N X Delivered to Charge. | The passports were delivered te 1 Charge Algara late today.
