City Of Mexico, Feb. 4.--Charge
1'Shaughne5sy was instructed to IN
orm all foreigners, fas well as Next
cans, Of the lifting of the embargo
against the importation Of arms
rom the United States. The foreign
-alrister, Moheno, Immediately went
20 see General IIuerta. He had been
ssked Il Mr.. O'Shaughnos would be
handed his passports He replied:
That is not known. It depends on
she presidents views
Foreigners are excited and an
American exodus is probable. Many.
Americans planned to leave the cap
ital fer Vera Cruz, the only port by
which they can leave the country
Reservations on trains were so nu-
merous as to necessitate extra cars
Mrs. O'Shaughnessy will remain with
her husband at the embassy.
Huerta Delays Statement.
President Huerta delayed making
a statement either to the public or
the foreign diplomatic representa-
tiyes. Ills attitude is one Of doubt,
although many are relying on his as
surance few days ago that such ac-
ton as lifting the arms embargo
would not alter his attitude toward
Americans or Charge O'Shaughnessy
That he will make any direct state
ment to the American charge is not
certain, as. Mr.. O'Shaughnessy had no
part in notifying him of the new
move OF the president of the United
States.
Those who predict that the Mexican
people calmly will accept the attitude
OF the United States point to the fact
that the sentiment Of the people has
changed so much in the last few
months that. they will secretly ap-
plaud President Wilson's action in
stead of manifesting disapproval by
assailing resident Americans.
President Huerta talked over the
telephone with Senior Moheno regard
ing the arms affair, and later the for
eign minister was summoned to the
presidents Office for conference.
Jose Vera Estanol, q brother of
Jorge Vera Estanol, minister of pub
lie instruction in, the Madero cabinet,
was arrested during the day and sent
to the penitentiary.
Carranza Made Friend of U, S.
Culiacan, Feb. 4.-GenerM Carran-
"a has received confirmation Of the
lifting of the EMBRACE against import.
ing arms from the United States. In
reply to a question as to what effect
it would have, he said:
"Huerta has been saying that we
have been helped by the United
States government to fight him. Up
to this time we have had nothing but
difficulties on the part of the United
States with regard to the Importation
of arms and ammunition.
II have now been advised that the
government of the United States is
permitting us the free Importation OF
arms. Very soon Huerta will see the
difference in the activity of our forces
as compared with the past.
"The Mexican people are satisfied
with this act of justice on the part of
the United States government. The
war will not now be prolonged much
further, but will end in the complete
triumph of our cause. This action
will also bind more closely the friend
1y relations Of the two nations"
Villa Sees Wars End.
Juarez. Feb. 4.-"The Mexican war
will not last much longer" said Gen.
Francisco Villa and other rebel lead
ers, on learning that President Wilson
had lifted the embargo against the
shipment Of arms and ammunition
into Mexico.
A warning was issued by General
Villa that all Spaniards captured in
the Torreon campaign would be sum-
marily dealt with He added he had
proof that Spaniards in Torreon had
taken up arms against the rebels, and
that all these would be shot Others
would be banished from the country.
In this connection said Villa, ''let
me say that Americans may have no
fear. regard the high dignity with
which Americans have conducted
themselves during this revolution as
act toward our cause. I feel
the deepest friendship toward the
United States. All American prop
erty will be protected"
