most important acts of the state land
board since his tenure of office was
taken at the board meeting when it
practically abolished the practice of
requiring bonds from settlers on cer
tificates of purchase. The action of

ft
IB UNITED STATES' ULTIMATUM
TO THE DICTATOR IN
MEXICO.
ACTION ON UNO ADVICE
FIVE HUNDRED THOUBAND SOL*
DIERS IN READINESS FOR
INVASION.
Western Kcwapaper Union New* Serrlc*.
Mexico City, Nov. 4.—President
Huerta must resign the presidency*./
Mexico without loss of time ami
must not leave as his successor Gen
eral Aureliano Blanquet, his minister
of war, or any other member of his of- .
ficial family or of the unofficial co
terie whom he might be expected to
control.
The ultimatum from Washington
was conveyed to President Huerta
through his private secretary, Senor
Rabago. by Nelson O’Shaughnessey,
the American charge d’affaires, act
ing under Instructions from the State
Department. Befior Rabago presented
the memorandum to his chief late
Sunday but up to last evening Presi
dent Huerta had returned no
and, as far as could be learned, had®
guarded its contents from almost uf
his official and intimate counsellors.
Those who learned of the Washing
ton note regarded General Huerta’s po
sition one in which he will be forced
to give one of two answers—refusal
point-blank to comply with the de
mand, possibly going so far as to hand
the diplomatic representative his pass
ports, or the elimination of himself
officially.
Those most intimate with the Presi
dent insist that the latter course will
no be taken, for many reasons, chief
among which is that such action would
be tantamount to submission to the
rebels.
Official Mexico is no longer in
doubt that the Washington administra
tion favors the rebel cause, and is con
vinced that this is the means adopted
by President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan to assist Carranza to win.
General Huerta summoned to the
national palace the diplomatic corps,
but for what purposes was not re-
vealed.
It is understood that President Wil
son’s action was taken upon the ud-
vice of John Lind, his special envoy to
Mexido.
