BRYAN MAKES NO COMMENT
He Has Not Been Informed Of RE-
ported Intereat Defnults,

WASHINGTON. Jan. l3.--Sccretary Bryan
had no comment 70 make to-day ON
Huertas announcement that the semi AN
nual interest payments on the external
debt or Mexico would not be made. The
Secretary said he had not been informed
officially OF such an announcement.
Well informed officials here see no rea-
son why the default on these payments
should AFFECT the situation so far as the
United states IL concerned. Most OF TN.
Mexican Government securities are held
In Europe. chiefly In France, Great
Britain and Germany. Am. rican holdings
are confined largely 10 the interest la the
National Railways.
II has been accepted as inevitable that
Huerta would eventually reach the point
where he would find hims II unable to
meet his financial obligations abroad and
that he would be quick to sacrifice them to
meet more pressing needs at home
u Ia not b, 1ievej here that the passing
or the interest payments can be taken to
mean that the collapse Of the Huerta Gov
eminent IL necessarily AZ hand. Accord
Ing 10 the most II cent figures the GUS
toms receipts at the ports held by Huerta
are increasing. II l. assumed that Huefta
intends to spend this money on his army
and governmental salaries al the expense
of the foreign creditors.
There is no likelihood at present ac.
cording to reliable information obtained
here tonight. of the default in paving
interest on the Mexican debt raising com
plications between the United States and
those Governments whose nationals hold
the bulk OF MeXico's securities
II Is conceded that Huerta probably
hasn't the money with which 10 pay the
interest. above his domestic needs. and
that there is no way of compelling him
to give up what money he has without
resorting to force.
Tho European Governments are oh
viously not In a position to undertake to
collect by force under the present condi-
ton Of AFFAIRS IN Mexico.
