HUERTA BACKS DOWN, CRISIS PASSED
OFFICIALS SEEK RE-OPEN NEGOTIATIONS
MEXICO CITY, Nov. 14.—Officials
of the Mexican government have
made overtures to the American State
department to re-open the negotia
tions broken yesterday when Provis
ional President Huerta failed to re
ply to the ultimatum of John Lind,
that he promise the American ad
ministration that the congress elected
on October 26th be not convened. No
indication can be secured from the
charge d’affaires that President Wil
son will tolerate the renewal of diplo
matic intercourse.
It is believed now that the prepar-’
ations made by President Wilson to
recognize General Carranza and (he
constitutionalists of the north and al
low them to import arms from Amer
ica—the certainty that when that is
done the influx of American volun
teers from the stales who will enlist
in the northern armies, and the finan
cial support sure to be given General
Carranza, who would be able to bor
row money from the American bank
ers, who are interested in the mines
of the northern states, and who would

Carranaaites a certainty.
LONDON, Nov. 14.—The chancel
lors of the European powers are in
constant communication regarding the
Mexican situation and exchanged
many dispatches today relative to the
conditions in the American republic.
The chancellorltes were trying to
agree on a common policy to be pur
sued by all, but in view of the Amer
ican attitude and the statement made
some days ago by President Wilson
that interference in the Mexican mud
dle by European powers would be con
sidered an affront to the United
States, the heads of the foreign offi
ces of the several governments can
not outline any policy. It is evident
that the powers are divided as to
what course to pursue.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.—The of
ficials of the State department have
been under great strain since the ul
timatum was delivered to Provisional
President Huerta but now that all
diplomatic communication has been
severed between the two nations a
feeling of satisfaction prevails. The
negotiations between the department
and the northern rebels continues
and it is said by those in confidence
of the department that General Car
ranza has given to William Hale, who
represents President Wilson at No
gales, the assurances demanded by
the president before recognition
would be given.
Democratic senators expect any
moment the public announcement of
the recognition of the constitutional
ists and the lifting of the embargo on
the exporting of arms.
That the army and navy is ready
for the expected invasion is not de
nied by officers of the two depart
ments, and it is even stated that a
plan of campaign had been mapped
out calling for the capture of all ci
ties on the Atlantic, the landing of
marines, the cutting off of the impor
tations of arms from Europe, the es
tablishment of a blockade and the in
vasion from Texas and Arizona of
the northern states, aided by the reb
els.
General belief at the change in the
conditions is felt by the officials here,
as it is now certain that Huerta will
be forced to grant the demands of
President Wilson. It is even rum
ored here that England and the Uni
ted States are acting in entire accord
in the present crisis.

timated that at least 500 more will
be taken from the ruins of the city
when the debris is cleared away.
The vibrations of the earth were
so sharp that the buildings were
suddenly toppled down, killing those
inside and tilling the streets with the
falling walls so that few escaped. In
the mountainous sections the avalan

Funds are badly needed by the Jted

STILL FIGHTING
CURRENCY BILL
President Determined That Regional
Banks Shall be Established—
Much Opposition.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.—The split
in the Senate Banking and Currency
committee has gone so far both fac
tions are preparing bills to be sub
mitted to the Senate for considera
tion Both bills differ greatly from
the Glass currency bill, passed by the
lower House by a big majority.
One faction favors regional banks
established in all sections of the Un
ited States, while others insist on a
central bank conttoiled by the gov
eminent and by the bankers, who arc
to be forced, under the law, to sub
scribe for a percentage of the stock
and must keep in this bank a re

Objects to New Scheme.
The president made it known in
emphatic terms to’ay that he was op
posed to the central bank plan, as
suggested recently by Frank A. Van
derlip, of the National City bank, of
New York, and as Indorsed informal
ly by many members of the Sen
ate committee. He reiterated through
Secretary Tumulty that the Glass-Ow
en bill with its system of twelve reg
ional reserve banks related only
through the functions of one federal
reserve board sitting at Washington,
was "admirably suited” to the needs
of the country.
It was apparent today that the
course of several members of the
committee probably would be determ
ined finally by the attitude taken by
President Wilson and other party
leaders as to the expediency of the
single bank plan.
May ADanaon ideas.
Senators O’Gorman, Hitchcock and
Reed, Democrats, all favor the idea
of a single federal reserve bank as
opposed to many separate ones, and
it is believed that their advocacy of
the plan will not he abandoned in
committee even if the Democratic
leaders insist that such a measure
could not be passed.
Senator Reed urged the president
today to withhold judgment on the
single bank idea until its details had
been more fully worked out by the
Senate committee. Later, Senator
Kern, Democratic leader, gnd Senator
Stone conferred with the president.
The president made it clear to the
Senate leaders that he did not believe
the Senate committee should attempt
to disturb the foundation of the bill
that passed the House to the extent
that !t would have to he remodeled
tr provide for a_ single bank.
HAVE TROUBLE
WITH THE JAPS
Dispatching of American Cruiser to
Mexican Ports Has Caused
Much Friction.
TOKIO, Japan, Nov. 14.—American
Ambassador Guthrie and the foreign
minister have been in frequent con
ference yesterday and today and it is
believed the two men are anxious to
give the impression that everything
is all right between the governments,
while many diplomats believe that
the friction between the two govern
ments is much strained by the ac
tion of the Japanese government
when the cruiser Izuma was sent from
this port under full speed to the Mex
ican coast.
Many weti informed Japanese as
sert that a complete squadron was
dispatched.
The mobilization of the fleet in
Formosa ports has given rise to the
statement that in the event of war
between Mexico and the I'nited
States the Japanese will land in the
Philippines.
