The relations between the United States and the Huerta government in Mexico are mora strained than at any tlmo slnco President Wilson began consideration of the Mexican problem. The admin istration here is exerting itselt to the utmost of its ability to avoid it pos sible the rupture with the Mexico City government which seems imminent unless Huerta can be broken. So genuinely critical do admlnlstra tlon officials consider tho present as. pects of tho situation that they are unwilling to discuss the Mexican ques tion In any way. Relations between tho two governments are admittedly so delicate that efforts were made to discourage all speculation regarding developments in Washington and Mexico City. Secretary Bryan was at tho state department during the day, in com munication with his representatives in Mexico. He was likewise in con ference with President Wilson. Tho otops taken by the administration were decided on In tho conferences at the White House and in the light of the dispatches received at the depart ment of state. Messages were receiv ed from John Llnd at Vera Cruz, Nel son O'Shaughnessy at Mexico City end William B. Halo at the Carranza headquarters at Nogales. There Is good reason to believe that an attempt will be made by President Wilson to force Huerta. out by threats of a rupture. On this account Instruc tions to O'Shaughnessy to notify Pres ident Huerta that if the congress Is not dissolved nnd himself out of the presidency within a brief period, ho will withdraw tho American embassy from the Mexican capital, would occa sion no surprise here. -The purpose of such action, If finally adopted, will bo to frighten Huerta into tho convic tion that if ho persists in his course he will have the armed forces of tho United States upon him. Tho only cheerful note In the situa tion In Washington is the fact that nono of the European powers are standing with Huerta. REBELS HOLD JUAREZ Celebrate Their Victory by Indulging In Amusements.
