The commanding fea- ture was the action of the Spanish Min- teter in Mexivo City calling « meeting of the diplomatic corps to discuss Muerta’s assumption of a practical dic- tetorship. Administration officiaia and 4iplomatista attached deop significance te that. ‘Thie development attracted great tention because of the @panish Minte- ter’e friendship for Henry Lane Wilson, the former Ambassador of the United States to Mexico, and because the Span- {ah Minister never has supported the policy of the United States. President Wilson discussed the situ- ation with Secretary Bryan and several Benators, and later the Foreign Rela- tions Committee of the Senate had a Meeting behind closed doorr.

WILSON'S ‘Nove TO HUERTA ON OICTATORGHIP. ‘The instruction delivered by Charge O'Bhaughnessy to the authorities at Mexico City defning the attitude of tho United States toward Huerta’s ansump- tion of dictatorship was as follows: “The President is shocked at tho law- Jeasness of the methods employed by Gen. Huerta, and as a sincere friend ©f Mexico is deeply Gistrensed at the situation which has arisen. He finds it impeesible to regard otherwise than as an act of bad faith toward the United States Huerta’s course in dissolving the Congress and arresting the Deputies. “It te not only @ violation of coneti- tational guarantee, but destroys all pos- Givility of a tree and fair election. The President believes that an election held this time under the conditions as now iting would have none of the sanc- with which law surrounds the bal- fet and that the reault, therefore, could Bet be regarded as representing the will of the peop! “The Pregident would not fee! justified ig accepting the reaults of such an tion or in recognising the President so chosen.” MEXICO CITY, Oct. 15. — Nelson O'Bhaughnessy, American Charge 4'At- faires, was requested by telepione to @all at the Mexican Foreign Office last Right immediately after the conclusion of the Cabinet meeting, which had dis- cussed the two communications froin the United States Government.
