AVOID RUPTURE
Administration Is Exerting Itself lo
The Utmost
Huerta Continues Defiant-Treat To Withdraw The Ameri
can Embassy At The Mexican Capital Would Cause
" No Surprise At Washington-Relations With Southern
Republic Admited To Be Most Critical-Latest
Developments
Washington, Nov. 17. 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.
Juarez, Mexico, Nov. 17. The reb
els of General Villa's army celebrated
their capture of tho biggest border
city on the northern frontier. The
church bells chimed merrily, but few
of the victors hesitated as they passed
the ancient mission longer than to
cross themselves or kick the corpse
of a late federal soldier. They only
sauntered to the bull ring, the fiesta
plaza or the keno hall.
Throughout Saturday, rifles and pis
tol b barked at short intervals and late
federal defenders of the border town
crumpled up, ,ono by one, In llttlo
heaps, while the present rebel posses
sors of the border port walked stoic
ally away to a nearby cantlna for re
freshment and to reload or hunt anew
for some man thoy bore a grudge.
So unprepared for battle were the
400 federal defenders that Villa's
troops actually reached the center of
the town boforo a single shot was
fired. It is estimated that 40 persons
wore killed In the fighting. The reb
els lost five men, the federal dead is
estimated at 30 and four or five non
combatants were killed.
