Mexico *ity, Nov. 12, -?General Vic
toriano Huerta tacitly refused to-night
to accede to the demands of the United
States expressed In an ultimatum sent
to him by President Wilson's persona??
representative. John Llnd.
General Huerta was informed esrly
in the day that unless he returned an
answer by ?"> o'clock this evening to the
effect that he would prevent the new!**
elected Congress from convening, and,
furthermore, make this action known
to the members of the diplomatic corps
by midnight, the 1'nited States would
have no further parleying with the
Mexican government.
Mr Lind waited until ?? o'clock and.
received no answer. He then made ar?
rangements for his departure on the
train leaving for Vera Cruz at 8
o'clock. It was announced, however,
that General Huerta had one chance
more?that if he took, the action de?
manded by midnight the fact that he
failed to reply to Mr. Lind within the
time specified would be overlooked.
Mr. Lind would see no good reason to
suppose that Huerta intended to ac?
cede.
U It m at urn Left st Pslsce.
Nelson O'Shaughnessy, the charg?,
was the messenger who delivered the
ultimatum, H?- was unable to get Into
personal touch with General Huerta,
but left the message at the President's
office.
It was intimated to-night at the pal?
ace that General Huerta ha?! not re
cefved the note ir. tlm?- to give it full
consideration. This, however, did not
appear te Mr. Lind a valid excuse for
procrastination.
The prevention of th" convening of
Congress has been one of the essential
points in the negotiations conducted by
Mr. Lind. This was for two reasons:
First, it eras believed that the new
Congress would lose no time in pass?
ing measures having to do with the oil
concession.?-, and. second, because "he
convening of Congress would give an
air of legality to Huerta's government-,
Say Huerta Couldn't Comply.
It was said by Huerta officials to?
night that the government has made
no definite statement that Presidential
elections ?ire invalid and that there?
fore the American demand that the
Congress elections be regarded the
Mime as Presidtntial elections is rather
premature It is further pointed out
that It Is not within the jurisdiction of
Huerta to declare either Presidential
or Congress elections invalid, as both
powers belong to Congress itself.
It is therefore argued that the Amer?
ican government is now itself inviting
the Huerta government to violate the
country's laws. The officials say that
the Mexican government's recent note
to the foreign legations merely stated
that the indications so far available
seemed to point to the invalidity of
the Presidential elections.
Feeling Grows Tenss.
Not since the re? ent revolutions be?
gan has the feeling in the Mexican cap?
ital been so tense as it was to-day.
The most categorical denials by the
American Charge, Nelson O'Shaughn?
essy. and Presid? nt Wilson's personal
representative. John Lind, of knowl?
edge of any developments on which this
feeling could be based failed tu dis?
abuse the minds of the people generally
of the belief that the next twenty-four
hours would sec some decisive move on
the part of Washington.
The reports spread until there was
scarcely a foreign resident in the "npi
tal who had not heard that the Amerl
iiin Charg? had ?Men given, or was
about to be given, his passports. A
large part of the population confidently
expected to see the whole embassy
