"SANTA
HUERTA NOT TO
RESIGN IS THE
REPORT
INFORMS WASHINGTON THAT HE
WILL HOLD OFFICE UNTIL AFTER
THE HOLDING OF NEW ELEC
TIONS. NO REPLY YET BY THE
UNITED STATES.
EMBARGO ON ARMS
MAY NOW BE RAISED
Mexico City, Mex., Nov. 10. Gen
eral Vietoriano Huerta's declaration
to the diplomatic corps, in which he
indicated that he would retain his of
fice until after the holding of new
elections, . was praised today by the
Mexican press. The newspapers de
clared that his stand meets with the
approval of the Mexican people.
El Independiente, under the caption,
"Huerta is the only man capable of
solving the situation," points to the
alleged favorable attitude of Europe
and to the press criticism of President
"Wilson's policy.
EI Independiente prints extracts
from London, Berlin, Paris and New
York newspapers and also quote parts
of the speech made by Henry Lane
Wilson at Cleveland, November 8,
when the former ambassador criticiz
ed the policy of tb.3 Washington gov
ernment, John Lind, President Wilson's per
sonal representative here, Bald today
that he was uninformed as to the In
tentions of the United States govern
ment and that, he was awaiting in
structions from Washington before
taking any further step.
Quiet prevailed in the city.
Washington, D. C, Nov. 10. Presi
dent Wilson discussed the Mexican
situation today and cleared the atmos
phere of many reports as to the In
tention of the United States. He mude
it clear that he had no intention at
present of addressing congress, be
cause the situation was not in such
'shape for him to leave anything for
him to say, and that while certain rep
resentations had been made to the
Huerta government, no reply had been Among tnem were seve.a.
received" He declared W' no timef They "rted from Monterey several
limit haa been set for the reply from
, "Huerta.
The president told inquirers he was
not ready to discuss recognition of the
constitutionalists and that his opposi
tion to raising the embargo on arms
'had not been changed.
The text of the statement given to
the diplomatic corps at midnight on
Sunday by President Huerta was re
ceived today from Charge O'Shaugh
nessy. Secretary Bryan would not
comment on It further than to say last
night's dispatch from Mexico City de
scribed it accurately.
Informal comment on Huerta's
statement, however, emphasized that
while the elections of the president
and vice president were to be de
clared null and void, Huerta intended
to consider the election of congress
-valid. By the Washington govern
ment that is regarded as au inconsist
ency of which foreign nations must
take cognizance and the impression
prevailed that repudiation of all acts
of the new congress would be forth
coming by the United States. The
president made it. plain that foreign
governments had been fully advised
within the last week of the steps taken
ly the United States but that the
future policy of this nation was de
pendent on further development. In
discussing the Mexican situation with
newspapermen the president spoke es
pecially against representing the situa
tion as more serious than it really was.
The president pointed out that sensa
tional reports embarrassed the task of
the administration, especially when
the reports were in advance of those
made by the administration.
The first squadron, four troops of the
fifteenth cavalry, commanded by Col.
Joseph Garrard, left Fort Myer. Va.,
today by train for Fort Bliss, Texas,
to relieve the third squadron of the
Fifth cavalry patroling the Mexican
border.
The movement Is in accordance with
orders issued a month ago. Two squad
rons of the fifteenth cavalry at Fort
Sheridan, III., and Fort Leavenworth,
Kansas, are to relieve the other two
squadrons of the fifth cavalry on the
border and the second cavalry Is to
be relieved by the tenth cavalry, now
at Fort Ethan Allen, Vermont
Orders have not yet been issued for
tie transfer of the second and fifth
cavalry to their northern and eastern
stations.
One official, familiar with the ex
changes with Huerta, said today that
the latest representations from Wash
ington were not such as to place Pres
ident Wilson In the attitude of having
said the last word If Huerta cared to
abdicate.
It was said that the language of the
last representations did not directly
call on Huerta to resign, but made
clear that if he had the good of Mexico
at heart and really desired that some
government In Mexico City be recog
nized by the United States, he would
retire from the situation. w
The communication Is '-also under
stood to have communicated that if
Huerta remained in power tne United
States would repudiate all his acts as
well as those of the new congress.
Chairman Bacon, of the Benate for
eign relations committee, who called
at the White House, said tills govern
ment would proceed cautiously, but
with the same fixed purpose.
An official statement was Issued by
Charge Algara, of the Mexican embas
sy, stating that on November 20, next,
"the legislative power assumed bj
President Huerta will be reinstated
and the new congress will pass on the
result of the presidential election."
"The dispatches received by Senor
Algara," says the statement, "and
signed by Foreign Minister Moheuo, it
may be assumed, represent the atti
tude of President Huerta and indicate
the nuture of his reply to the inquiry
of the government of the United States
regarding his purposes in view of the
recent presidential ejections. As the
public realizes, the recent election was
Imperfect, and should the Mexican
congress so decide in its wisdom, the
government will call a new election in
constitutional form. The government
will proceed with its purpose to pacify
the nation, as the imperative condi
tion to a legal and valid election.
"The confidence is expressed by the
government that no obstacle will be
interposed to complicate the situation
or disturb the end designed of a valid
choice of president.
President Wilson, it. was learned lat
er is giving Berious consideration to
raising the embargo on arms. In his
talks with senators he has asked their
advice particularly on that point and
has been advised by most of them to
lift the embargo.
Sends Note to EUgland.
London, Nov. 10 Walter H. Page,
United States ambassador, today pre
sented to the British foreign office an
other message from President Wilson,
the general effect of which is that un
der no circumstances, will the presi
dent recognize Provisional President
Huerta or any of his acts.
President Wilson's message is re
garded here as in the nature of an
interim report not calling for a reply.
Great Britain therefore awaits a
more definite pronouncement from
President Wileon, setting forth pre
cisely the steps he purposes to take to
enforce his policy, before sending a
formal reply.
British officials are inclined to re
sent what they term the persistent
misrepresentation of Great Britain's
attitude current in the United States.
They deny that any British money has
been advanced to support Provisional
President Huerta.

agent. But Hale dropped out of sight
and Tupper had not seen him up to

giving an outline of the policy expect
ed to be followed by the United StateB
in the event of the continuance . of

WILSON SAYS IT WILL
BE NON-PARTISAN LAW
Washington, D. C. Nov. 10. Only
in the sense that the Democratic
party will be responsible for currency
legislation and therefore must direct
its progress, does President Wilson be
lieve the currency bill will be made a
party measure. He told callers today
that he expected it would be a non
partisan bill when completed.
Senator Hitchcock made au attack
today on the proposal to-take the cur
rency bill into secret caucus. He is
the one Democrat on the banking com
mittee standing out against the ad
ministration. In a statement from th
floor, he declared he would not yield
his convictions "to meet the views of
the president." .
"I would not permit myself to be
bound by the decisions of a secret
caucus on an important matter of leg
islation like this,-' declared Senator
Hitchcock.
"I am assured by a number of sena
tors on this side that they are equally
opposed to a secret legislative pro
ceeding. The senate is the proper
place to discuss the bill."
Mr. Hitchcock spoke of "outside in
fluences" brought on the committee
when its members were told the presi
dent could not accept the decision of
the majority.
"I feel that when the senate refers
to a committee an important bill of
this character, the senate is entitled
to have members of the committee
examine it carefully and vote accord
ing to their own convictions and be
liefs." Senator Kern, chairman of the Dem
ocratic caucus, replied to Senator
Hitchcock, declaring it was not. pro
posed to hold a binding caucus nor to
vote on the currency bill in the con
ference. Senator Reed, Democrat, declared
that he believed the problem should
be worked out In a non-partisan way.

UNIFORM, GUARDSMEN AND MANY
FRIENDS MARCH IN FUNERAL
CORTEGE TO NATIONAL CEMETERY.
REV. MR. M'COLLOUGH
DELIVERS THE EULOGY
The funeral of Adjutant General A.
S. Brookes was marked by all the
pomp and impressive ceremonies
which a state may use to extend
final honors to one of her high mili
tary officials.
It was the first funeral for a nation
al guard officer seen in Santa 1'"e, and
was the most impressive of any fun
eral since that, of Major J. D. Sena,
a civil war veteran, held in Santa Ke
21 years ago.
The body of the dead general lay in
state at the capitol from 9 o'clock
yesterday morning until 2 in the aft
ernoon, and hundreds or friends view
ed it. Masses of red roses and other
flowers encircled the coffin near
which guardsmen of company K stood
nn imard. ' !
At 2:30 p. m. the casket was carried
to the First Presbyterian church, the
funeral cortege passing in front of the
executive mansion, down Don Caspar,
past the plaza and out Lincoln ave
nue. At the church hundreds or friends,
including former Gov. Otero, V. S. Dis
trict Judge Pope, ex-Attorney Gener
al Prichard, Major Palen and other
prominent Santa Feans who had
known General Brookes for years
gathered to hear the eulogy. It was
delivered by the llev. 1). '. McCol
lough who chose "Friendship" as his
theme. He paid a high tribute io Gen
eral Brookes for his large hearteduess
and told an incident that touched
everyone.
The Presbyterian choir sang appro
priate selections, the Bweet, fresh
voices of the young singers being ac
companied by Mrs. G. II. Van Stone
on the organ.
The Funeral Cortege.
At about 3 o'clock the final match to
National cemetery began.
First came the band of 24 men, car
rying their silver instruments re
splendent in the afternoon sun. Then
marched forty-five soldier boys in
olive drab, members of company K
under Captain Baca, with the towering
figure of Acting Adjutant General
Norman L. King at the Bide.
Then came the colors floating in the
breeze colors which reminded every
guardsman and ex-guardsmen of New
Mexico of the encampments when
those aame flags waved in front of a
tent In which was seated General
Brookes, thinking every moment of
the comfort of his men camping with
him.
Preceding the hearse were the hon
orary paTl bearers: Levi A. Hughes,
Judge David J. Leahy, General John
W. March, Frands C. Wilson, Alvan
N. White and former Governor Will
iam J, Mills.
On either side walked the active
pall bearers, their gorgeous military
uniforms contracting with the somber
attire of the honorary pall bearers.
They were: Col. K. C. Abbott, Col. J.
A. Massie, Col. Bronson M. Cutting,
Col. Jose D. Sena, all of Santa Fe;
Major de Bujac of Carlsbad; Col. J.
W. Willson of Roswell.; Col. M. M.
(Padgett of Las Vegas, and Major mii-
licken of Silver City.
Officers of the national guard fol

Capt. T. J. Molinari, Capt. P. E. Des
sauer, of Las Cruces; Capt. De Bre
mond, of Roswell; Capt. W. H. Lloyd,
Capt. M. Pacheco, Captain James Sel
igman and Captain Carlos Vierra, all

terfield, Captain Harold Hurd, of Ros
well. In a carriage following came Gov
ernor and Mrs. McDonald with Mrs.
A. S. Brookes, Mrs. J. W. Willson and
Sydney Brookes. There were many
other carriages, bringing state officials
and friends.
Arrived at the cemetery, there was
a brief Bervice, conducted by the Rev.
Mr. McCollough. As the casket was
laid in the Brookes' family vault, com
pany E fired the customary farewell
salute of three volleys.
After the volleys taps were sound
ed in a most impressive manner, as
was afterward remarked by a retired
army musician. Messrs. Mulligan &
Rising, undertakers, had charge of
the funeral arrangements.
The Final Tribute.
After reading an obituary of Gen
eral Brookes, Rev. Mr. McCollough
spoke as follows at the church serv
ices :
"The tribute, the admonition, and
the word of sympathy that I shall
bring this afternoon has to do with
Friendship- grace that is one of the
greatest assets in this earthly life a
"virtue concerning the value of which
we are all agreed." Everyone appre
ciates Its value and its need. For we
I are not hermits today but we are so
cial beings. And Friendship is the
connecting bond that we all need and
highly prize.
