 The galleries of the chamber of deputies were packed before the be- ginning of the session today. Intense excitement characterized the gather ing, and at the close of the reading of Huerta's resignation the deputies and spectators broke into loud and continued applause.
 After the acceptance os Huerta s resignation, 8 commission was. ap. pointed by the president of the cham, ber to escort Senor Carbajal to the floor Of the house.
