 Government officials regard the lift ing of the embargo at this time as especially unfortunate, as they claim President Huerta was beginning to show progress in his campaigns against the rebels

 Mexican Officials Sheer.
 Mexicans holding official positions and friends to the administration generally profess not to believe that President Wilson has improved ma 4erialJv the position Of the rebels by lifting the embargo on arms and sal3- uuunition, but the fear that financial assistance might also be accorded them was frankly expressed tonight by Querido Moheno, the minister of foreign affairs.
 Although there is no disposition to confuse President Wilson's act as rec ognition of the belligerency of the Feb- els, those at the national palace as- serted tonight that it would have prae- tically the same effect The fact that the removal of the embargo permits the free exportation of arms from the United States to either faction brings from the officials here sheer and they point out that the. proximity or fhe rebels to the United States and the admitted impoverishment of the fed eraI government leaves no doubt as to which side will be the greater bene- ficiary-
 Rebels Will Be Able to Get Money.
 President Huerta, however, few days ago said that the lifting of the embargo would not improve the rebels position greatly, because already in his opinion they were getting into the country across the international boun- daTv an the arms and ammunition they were able to pay for. in spite Of the apparent efforts of the American war department to prevent the smug- giing of war material. He added that rnonev was the thing the rebels need ed more than anything else and this they could not get. He appears stili to believe that this situation will con- time and Senor Moiaeno has expressed the same opinion, although With iess assurance. tesieye that the rebels will now be able to obtain the money to enable them to rnzke a swift campaign against the capital They point out that panklng ais hrnses and capitalists In general Will rrobab1y regard loan made fo the r.F,s5s 11uf5er the new conditions, as zn excellent business proposition, SUD aect to little risk.
 Mexicans May Applaud Wilson's
 Course.
 President Huerta talked over the tel ephone with Senor Mofeno regarding inc affair this afternoon and later the foreign minister was summoned to the pressdenf's office for a conference.
 Many months ago it was assumed generally that such action by the fTnited States would result in ruptured >[-1 fe countries. and it was believed not irnprooa Die fhat it would result in rioting in the capital. The ignorance Of me puoilc &e to what has occurred leaves as yer Unanswered the question as 70 tne spart @ the people will play. but there is req son to believe there will De no antl- American demonstrations.
 Those who predict that the Mexican people will accept the attitude of the United States calml- point to the iact that the sentiment 'f the peopie mas mas changed. so much n the past lew months that they will secretly applaud President Wilson's action, instead of r1anifesting disa appro1al by assaillng Americans here.
 Extra Cars or Trains Out of Mexico
 City.
 President HueFta has delayed Ifaak- ing a statement either to the public or to the foreign diplomatic repfesehta- lives His attitude as yet IS one ol doubt, although many are relying on his assurance a few days ago that such action would net alter hls attl- tude toward Americans or Charge OShaugfHessy, That he will make any direct statement te the American charge is not certain, as MT. O'Shaugh- messy had no part in notifying him of the new move of tine president or the United States.
 Many Americans are planning to leave tonight for Vera Cruz, the only port by which they can leave the cuun- try and reservations on trains have been so great as te necessitate extra cars Mrs O'Shaughnessy will, remain with her husband at the embassy. REBELS JuBILANT.
