Although there is mo disposition to confuse President Wilson’s act as rec- ognition of the belligerency of the reb- els, those at the national palace as- serted tonight that it would have prac- tically the same effect. The fact that fhe removal of the embargo permits ihe free exportation of arms from the Tnited States to either faction brings from the officials here a sneer and they point out that the. proximity of the répels to the United States and the admitted impoverishment of the fed- eral government leaves no doubt as to which side will be the greater bene- ficiary. _ Rebels Will Be Able to Get Money. President Huerta, however, a few days ago said that the lifting of the embargo would not improve the rebels position greatly, because already in his opinion they were getting into the country across the international boun- dary, all the arms and ammuniticn they were able to pay for, in spite of the apparent efforts of the American war department to ‘prevent the smug- gling of war material. He added that meney was the thing the rebels need- ed moré than anything else and this they could not get. He appears still 1o believe that this situatien will con- tinge and Senor Moheno has expressed the same opinion, although with less rance, g A thers not so close to the president befieve that the rebeis will now be able #n obtain the money to m;’i:e'thzmu:: amake a swifl »un?aun ainsf Sapical They point out that banking Bomees and capitalists in general will probably regard a loan made fo the irebels under the mew conditions. excellent business proposition, sub- to Tittle risk, Mexicane Ma Applaud Wilsen's President Huerta talived over the tel- ephone with Senor Moheno regarding the affair this afternoon and later the foreign minister was summoned to the president’s office for a conference.

The Daily Chronicle considers that it was impossible for President Wil- son to remain indefinitely a spectator of the chaos of which in some sense, it says, he is the cause, and that he had to choose between suppressing Huerta himself or in helping the reb- els to suppress him. The newspaper adds that the American problem is not to eject Huerta from the presidency, but to replace him by anybody who is better than he.
