O,SHAUGHNESSY INVITED TO
WEDDING: HANDED PASSPORTS
Huerta Draws Fine Distinction Between His Persona
and Official Relations with the United
States Charge

Whether in the light OF the passport
formality a member Of a diplomatic
staff is entitled to continue social re-
lations with "a person whom, officially,
he is bound 10 disregard Is the prob
lem.
Mrs. O'Shaughnessy has been as
great q favorite with the dictator's
family as her husband. That these re-
lations Of close friendship between the
Huertas and O'Shaughnessys have
tinged the charges diplomatic conduct
has long been openly discussed here,
and the situation is causing much
amusement.
Meanwhile the armed guard at the
American Embassy has been increased
10 100 men under Colonel Luis @. Her
nandez. This guard will escort the en-
bassy staff to special train which will
leave here, probably by way OF Vera
Cruz. A few police also remain on
guard at the embassy, which was
emptied OF its arms and ammunition
on the grounds that the munitions were
unnecessary after the appointment OF
Colonel Hernandez's cavalry detach-
ment

Mexico city. April %. - Nelson
O'Shaughnessy, American Charge d'Af-
faires. seems to be caught here between
his diplomatic duties and his friend
ship for General Huerta. After having
invited him TO attend the wedding to-
day Of his son. Major Victor Huerta'
and Senorita Conception Hernandez
the dictator handed the charge last
night his passports. According 10
diplomatic convention, this act const-
tutes a request to leave the country.
On this account the wedding invita-
ton is regarded here as trebly signil-
cant of the friendship between Mr.
OShaughnessy and General Huerta-
Its Importance Is also magnified, COM
ing after the report said TO have been
made TO President Wilson by John
Lind. who is credited with having OBJ
tected TO the intimacy between the
charge and General Huerta, and to
have cited as proof of Mr.. O'Shaugh-
nessy's diplomatic indiscreetness oc-
casions where he and the dictator ap-
peared together in public cafes.

The landing party now occupies all

are engaged in constructing defensive
works.
Admiral Badger is trying TO induce
the Mexican municipal authorities TO
resume their duties and take up the
administration OF the city. All work
is still stopped and no business Is being
