Favor Raising Embargo on Arms. The Idaho senator suggested that if the embargo on arms were lifted the constitutionalists probably could get possession of the reins of government in Mexico City in about thirty days and that the United States ought to give them an_opportunity to establish hemselves. Shoyld they fail, he be- lieves the United States might consider other steps whea that contingency arises. Senator McCumber believes the em- bargo on arms should be raised but realizes the position of the president, he sald, in being emwilling to send munitions of war fnto the rebellion- torn republic which misht add to the humanity of the fighting. He thinks the Huerta resime 18 in such finaneial distress that it will soon collapse of its own accord. Would Be Humane Act. Sensitor Bacon, chairman of the for- eign relations committee, said tonight he believed a majority of the members of that committee weve in favor of raising the embargo. To the suggess tion that raising the embargo would % inhumane, some sepators have de- clarefi that such an act on the other hand would put an end to the revolu~ tion In a Short period and spare the country the bloodshed of an indefinite- Iy prolonged struggie. No developments from Mexico Clty were announced from the state de- partment or White House, Press des- paiches stating that Huerta had de- election null tion of members of congress also would be 50 considered by Huerta. The United States go; ent already has made it clear in its representations to Huerta that it believes the members of the new congress not to have been legally chosen. Naxt Move In Day or Two. The president began conferring with members of the foreign relations com- mittee at the suggestion of Chairman Bacon, Most of the members are not in town, Lut are expected back this week. The discussions thus far, it is learned, haye heen merely an inter- change of views, the president relating {0 the senators what has been done in the last week and getting suggestions as to future policy. The administra- tion will be ready to make ‘lts next moye within a day or two is the gen- eral expectation, and news, from the Mexican capital as to Huerta’s final answer to the American communica- ton of a year ago is awaited with intense interest. INTERVENTION MORE HUMANE. Mexico City Residents Do Not Want Rebel Cause Strengthened. Mexico City, Nov. 9.~—Government officials, foreign Tesidents and the pe ple of Mexico realize that the refa- tions Dbetween this couniry and the Tnited States are strained almost to the breaking point, but there is per- haps no man in the entire republic who knows tonight what Washington tomorrow, 3 John .lind himself, who represents the president of the United States, is ignorantfof the intentions of his chief | and all Joes if Gemeral Hueria is anxious regarding what may deveélop not betray it.

This assumption is based on the Washington note to General Huerta, in which Huerta is assured that refusal to comply with he American demands ‘will resilt in President Wilson's applying Mo con- for power to use sterner meth- < gnd the threat to place a time imit on Huerta’s continuance in of- it §s considered that President Juerta's open note to the diplomats will make it impossible for Wash- ington longer to- withhold the exact Jaracter of Huerta's reply, which was made List week, Opir I Mexico s willely diver- Washingt now.
