President Wilson Reaches
Decision After Meeting
With His Cabinet.
REBELS WILL BEHELPED
Supporters of Latter in Wash
ington Declare Concession
Will Bring Early Peace.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 3.-Presi.
dent Wilson has decided to lift the
embargo on expectation of arms to
Mexico. A proclamation under author
ity of a congressional resolution of
1912 which will restore the status of
the arms question to where both the
Huerta forces and the constitutional
lists may import arms from the United
States is soon to be issued from the
White house.
The question of lifting the embargo
was discussed at the cabinet meeting
today. 1t is believed the president
was convinced that by restricting ship
ments of arms to Mexico the United
States was not really showing the
neutrality which was the purpose of
e~embargo, but was in fact showing
partially, as the Huerta forces were
enabled to get large supplies from
abroad, while the constitutionalists,
limited almost entirely to shipments
from the United States, could get arms
and ammunition practically only by
smuggling.
O'Shaughnessy advised.
1t is understood the presidents de-
termination to lift the embargo has
gone to Charge OShaughnessy prob
ably with instructions to advise the
Huerta government. Constitutionalist
agents in Washington learned of the
developments unofficially and declared
the end of the war was in sight.
For many weeks senators of the for
eign relations committee have been
urging the president to permit free i'm
portation of arms to battle fields in the
hope that the war might be ended
and peace restored.
The embargo is to be lifted, with the
idea that, rather than contributing TO
bloodshed, the importation of arms, by
Fastening the end of the war will re-
duce bloodshed. An official statement
will be issued tonight. Foreign gov
ernments have been advised of tie i'm
pending action. 1t is said the develop
ment will not affect the American en-
bassy at Mexico City nor the American
troops on the border
