FIRST INFORMATION ABOUT U. S.
ULTIMATUM LEAKS OUT IN MEX
ICO CITY.-HUERTA, THROUGH
f RIENDS, LETS IT BE KNOWN HE
WILL IGNORE WILSON'S NOTE.
NEXT MOVE IS NOW
DUE FROM THE U. S.
Washington, D. C., Nov. 6 The
news that Huerta would reject the
American demands for his elimination
was received in official circles without
comment. Secretary Bryan had a long
conference with President Wilson.
Chairman Bacon of the senate foreign
relations committee, was an early
White House caller. Talk of lifting
the embargo on arms was revived in
congressional circles with consider
able vigor. Some senators have told
the president there was an over
whelming sentiment In congress in
favor of permitting exports of arms
to Mexico. The president In his ad
dress to congress last August, took a
position against lifting the embargo.
Many persons have been pointing out
to him, however, that one of the alter
natives open, if Huerta declined to
resign through the efforts of dpilom
acy, was to lend a moral support to
the constitutional movement. Consti
tutionalists here declare they do not
wish recognition of their belligerency,
but only wish to obtain arms on an
equality with Huerta. Although dis
cretionary power to permit. - exhorta
tions of munitions of war is vested
with the president, some observers
think it unlikely that he would take
such a step without some communica
tion with congress. That phase of the
situation has given rise to expecta
tions that President Wilson might
soon read another message to con
gress outlining the status of the nego
tiations with Mexico and making spe
cific suggestions for future policy.
Officials declined to say today
whether they had received any an
swer directly or indirectly from Huer
ta to the latest demands.
. j
Count Vtt,Bernstorff, the German
ambassador, who only recently has re-1
turned to this country, had an en
gagement to see the president late to
day. Although the ambassador came
to pay his respects, it was believed
not Improbable that the Mexican sit
uation would be discussed. Sir Cecil
Spring-Rice, the British ambassador,
returned to the capital this morning.
The foreign relations committee dis
cussed the Mexican situation at length
and gave principal consideration of
the proposition of lifting the embargo
on arms. Senators said nothing defi
nite had been done. From individual
expressions of opinion it seemed that
most senators on the committee had
not changed their favorable attitude
toward such a move but still were dis
posed to defer to the president and
await some Indication from him.
The battleships Louisiana, New-
Hampshire and Michigan, of the sec
ond division of the Atlantic fleet
which were to be relieved from duty
in Mexican waters, on the arrival of
the four vessels of the third division,
were today formally ordered to re
main at Vera Cruz. Orders were is
sued -for the armored cruiser Califor
nia to remain in Pacific Mexican wa
iters, although original orders to the
Pittsburg were to relieve the Califor
' ': nia.
At the white housetoday it was of
ficially stated that Charge d'Affaires
O'Shaughnessy at Mexico City had
recently been given certain instruc
tions to communicate to the Huerta
government. Whether such instruc
tions were the same as those referred
to as demanding the elimination of
Huerta, officials declined to state spe
cifically, German Warships on Tour.
Berlin, Nov. 6. The newest German
battleships. Kaiser and Koenig Albert,
and the cruiser Strasburg, have been
ordered to ileave early in December
for South American waters.
The cruise is said to be merely a
"test voyage" but the warships, as is
pointed out in the newspapers here,
will evidently be available for service
on the Mexican coast If it should prove
necessary.
German naval circles regard the
'South American cruise as patent evi
dence that Anglo-German tension is
disappearing, as this is the first time
German battleships have been de
tached from the North Sea fleet since
the naval rivalry between Germany
and Oreat Britain became acute.
Mexico City, Nov. 6. There was
still no Indication here this morning
whether Provisional President Huerta
would make a formal reply to the
communication made by the United
States. The nature of the memoran
i dum is said to call for no other reply
than compliance. How long Wash
ington expects to wait for this com
pliance after failing to receive a ver
bal rejoinder, is a question which is
greatly interesting the few here who
are convinced of the passage of the
communication from the United
States government to the provisional
president,
Mexico City itself still is ignorant
of the nature of the new representa
tions made by Washington to Gener
al Huerta. The newspapers here
have printed only denials of the re
ports from the United States until to
day when they partially confirmed j
uieni. me Jieram, m uuu uuguaii i
daily newspaper, published a dispatch!
from Vera Cruz, stating that .Tolin j SENATE BANKING COMMITTEE INCOHPO
Liml, the personal representative ot
President Wilson, had confirmed the
reports of "certain indications being
made by Washington to Mexico."
Notwithstanding the necessary pre
cautions surrounding the transmission
by Nelson O'Shnughnessy, American
charge d'affaires, o the Washington
dispatch, enough has leaked out here
to fill the city with rumors and end
loss speculation today, as to what
General Huerta's course of action will
be.
Opinion generally is in line with the
unofficial information obtainable at
the national palace last night that
General Huerta intends to refuse com
pliance with the United States de
mands, but will proceed with the pro
gram he has been following of re-organizing
the Mexican congress and
abiding by the finding of that body

ultaneously ignoring Washington's
warning that the new congress will
not be countenanced.
The purposes of General Huerta
were voiced this morning by a person
who is close to the provisional presi
dent. The president is determined to
reject all the demands set forth in the
latest American communication and
Is resolved to seat the congress just
elected.
If congress, however, declares the
recent presidential election null and
void and makes arrangements for an
other election, General Huerta would
be disposed to abide by this decision
and submit to the people's choice of
a man who would occupy the presi
dency until the autumn of 1916.
Federals Reoccupy Towns.
The cities of Montemorelos and Cad
erieta .Tiniinez and the town of General
Teran to the southeast of Monterey,
in the state of Nuevo Leon, all of
which were taken by the rebels after
they had been repulsed by the fede
ral garrison of Monterey, were re-oc
cupied yesterday by federal troops, ac
cording to a report sent today to the
minister of the interior by Governor
Botello of Nuevo Leon. Much damage
was done by the rebels while the
towns were in their hands, as they
burned and looted indiscriminately.
Chester Leaves Tonight.
Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 6. The

completed loading supplies today and
will be ready to leave the Philadelphia
yard tonight or early tomorrow. Re

were being prepared for Bailing were"
denied by Captain Benson, command
ant of the yard.
Halt Attack on Pledras Negras,
and Weeks, the resolution was regard
ed by some as the basis of a com
promise belween the White House
and the senators in control on the
committee.
The provision in the house bill to
compel national banks to subscribe 10
per cent of their capital to the new
system, under penalty of losing their
charters, would be eliminated. If after
G days the public had not subscribed
all the capital, the banks entering the
system would be required to take up
the remaining stock. That was one
of the proposals of the Vanderlip
plan.
Control of the regional banks waB
settled by a compromise resolution
offered by Senator Weeks, providing
that each regional bank have nine
directors, five to be selected by the
government federal reserve board and
four by the banks. Under the house
bill, six of the nine would be chosen
by the banks.
The action today is about to have
cleared the way for an agreement in
the committee and may hasten prog
ress of the bill.
President Wilson has been conduct
ing informal conferences with Demo
cratic senators over the currency sit
uation and many are urging a party
conference, not necessarily in the
sense of a caucus but as a movement
to make the Democratic party sponsor
for the bill in the form the adminis
tration wants it shaped.
. Talk of a caucus to take the bill out
of the hands of the committee was re
vived after the administration forces
were outvoted today. , Senate leaders
sent out notices to all Democratic ab
sentees urging them to return at once.

militia had been called out, protested
to Governor Ralston against his ac
tion. John J. Keogan, member of the
last legislature, told the governor he
was going to organize the Btrikera and
meet the militia at the trains.
M. L. Clawson, a labor attorney, on
behalf of the strikers, filed a written
protest with the governor against the
Btate interfering in the Btrike. The
protest asserts that the police and
sheriff have not exhausted their pow
ers, and for this reason the state
should not interfere.
A mass meeting of strikers at noon
on the slate house lawn was attended
by a large crowd. Speeches were
made by J. J. Thorpe, first, vice-president

All the speakers urged that there
be no violence and that the strikers
should assist in preserving law and or
der. When it was announced that the
militia would be here today, the crowd
jeered.
Governor Ralston also addressed
the mass meeting. He told the strik
ers he was not responsible for present
conditions and that he had done ev
erything in his power to arrange a
settlement. "Within the last five
days," said the governor, "lives and
property have been destroyed. From
my window I have Been laws violated.
When I became governor of Indiana
I took an oath to Bee that the laws

The governor urged that law and
order be preserved.

ers, protesting against the calling out
of the troops. Senator Kern was ask
ed to "wire the governor and secure
additional co-operation on the part of

The telegram states that the city
