HUERTA MUST BK ELIMINATED.U. s. Seeks Co-operation of Foreign

Bowers-Naval Activities.

Washington, Nov. 2.- Thoughevery olficial of the United Statesgovernment has been cautioned tomaintain absolute silence willie theplans of the Washington administra-tion for solving the Mexican problemare worked out. it to-day becameknown that a supreme effort is beingmade to bring about (len. Huerta'sretirement from tho ProvisionalPresidency of Mexico.The success of any plan for a con-

stitutional election »hat may be pro-posed, especially in i,o far as it wouldcontemplate participation by theConstitutionalists, depends, in theview of the United States govern-ment on tho elimination of Huerta.Since he promised to turn over theexecutive power after an election, theAmerican government is now await-ing for some declaration on his part.

Should Huerta retire in favor ofanother there is a possibility that, theUnited States may attempt to com-pose the situation through Iiis suc-cessor. Mut if the elections are de-clared invalid by Huerta, so that liemay continue in power, the Washing-ton administration, it is pointed out,would look upon such a proclamationas an evidence of the incapacity ofthe provisional authorities to con-duct an election and might comeforth with definite proposals to as-sist in rehabilitating the governmen-tal machinery of the country.

Just nov. the future policy of theUnited States is being quietly and in-formally made known in diplomaticcircles abroad, and there are intima-tions that before many days foreigngovernments generally will havebeen apprised of Hie American at-titude. lt is unlikely that there willbe any publication of the Americanpolicy until Europe has formallybeen sounded.What the United States desires, it

is believed, is that the powers shallindicate their support of its effortsto solve the problem so that it mayapproach the Mexico City adminis-tration in a final effort to secure theelimination of Huerta. The confer-ence at Vera Cruz between JohnLind, President Wilson's personalrepresentative, and the Russian, Nor-wegian and German ministers, hasnot been explained here, hut it isthought to be a part of the programOf enlisting the support of foreigngovernments.

Must Use Force.The belief of many officials is that

if the United States can approachHuerta with tho united backing ofthe nations of the world, he mightyield, but prominent Constitutional-ists here, who know Huerta's per-sonality, declare he never will retireunless force is used.

Secretary Daniels, of tho navy de-partment, when asked concerning thefour American ships on the eastcoast of Mexico, for whose relief fourother ships are en route from Hamp-ton Roads, declared that while trans-fer ultimately was intended, theships at Vera Cruz had been notifiednot to leave until ordered. He de-clared the navy department had notyet decided when it would order theships to return, but that for the pres-ent seven or eight American war-ships would be kept in and aroundVera Cruz.

Ready for Immediate War.Washington, Nov. 3.-The United

States to-day, after six months of se-cret work, ls ready for an immediatewar and at a moment's notice canarm and equip 500,000 men for bat-tle with any first-class power.

This is the first time In historythat this country ever has been on awar footing.The plans call for Increasing the

regular army to Its maximum limit;the murdering into regular serviceaf the e¿. ire militia throughout theUnited States and the raising of theremainder of the army of r>ou,ooomen from the rank and file of Citi-zens.

Tacoma Menaces Vera Cruz-Vera Cruz, Nov. 3.-Tho United

States cruiser Tacoma took up acommanding position in the harborto-day and Mexican officials aro wild-ly excited as a result. The Tacomanow lies two hundred feet from thewharf with her guns trained on the.tty, whiçh she is in a position toshell if orders for such action wereSiven.An explanation of the Tacoma's

tction has bee!: demanded by theiori officials.Previously the Tacoma had lain

Mltside Hie harbor. On her way ino-day her propeller was fouled withi submerged cable near the entranceo the harbor. When the cable was.leared away the vessel swungiround in front of tho Mexican emi-ter Vera Cruz and took up a positionjetween that vessel and tho shore.

Mexicans Ex|K>ct Invasion.Mexico City, Nov. 3.-The Mexican

rease the revenues, and all troopshot can be withdrawn from isolatedections are being brought here.Among the well Informed there ls

ULTIMATUM SENT TO MEXICO.

Huerta mid His Minions Aro ToldThat They Must Hotire.

Mexico City, Nov. 3.-PresidentHuerta has been told that he mustresign the Presidency of Mexico with-out loss of time and that ho must notleave as his successor Gen. AurelianoBlanquet, his minister of war, or anyOthér member of his official familyor of the unofficial coterie whom hemight be experted tc control. Thisultimatum from Washington wasconvened to President Huertathrough his private secretary, SenorRahago, by Nelson O'Shaughnessy,the American charge d'affaires, act-ing under instructions from the StateDepartment.

Senor Kabago late Sunday pre-sentad the memorandum to his chief,but up to this evening PresidentHuerta had returned no answer, andas far as could be learned had guard-ed its contents from almost all hisofficial and intimate counsellors.

Must Choose Course».Those who learned of the Wash-

ington note regard Gen. Huerta's po-sition as one in which he would heforced ii give one of two answers-point blank refusal to comply withtho demand, possibly going so far asto band the diplomatic representativehts passports, or the official elimina-tion of himself.Those most. Intimate with the

President insist that the lattercourse will not be taken for manyreasons, chief among which is thatsuch action would be tantamount tosubmission to tho rebels. OfficialMexico no longer is in doubt that theWashington administration favorsthe Constitutionalist cause, and isconvinced that this ia the means ad-opted by President Wilson and Sec-retary Bryan to assist Carranza towin.

Three of Them Absent.Gen. Huerta to-night summoned

the diplomatic corps to the Nationalpalace, but for what purpose was notrevealed. Three of the ministers,those of Germany, Norway and Rus-sia, were absent. They have been lr.Vera Cruz, where they were in con-ference with President Wilson's rep-resentative, John Lind, who is under-stood to be fully conversant with thelatest representations from Washing-ton.Changes in the military situation

throughout the country to-day In-cluded, according to the report, theadvance of the rebels to attack Zac-atecas, but the government believesthat the garrison is sufficiently strongto successfully resist.

Queretara, capital of the State ofthe same name, is surrounded byrebels and practically in a state ofsiege. North of San Luis Potosi anew method has been adopted by therebels to prevent the operation oftrains. Placards addressed to rail-road employees have been posted no-tifying them they will be hanged ifthey attempt to run the trains. As aresult the men are refusing to work.

Georgian Arrested for Theft.

Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 3.-On awarrant charging him with the theftof $0.500, realized from the salo ofthree motor cars, James Brown, anautomobile salesman, of Savannah,Ga., was arrested In this city to-day,and held under $C00 bail by Magis-trate Gorman, while the Southernauthorities are being notified of hisapprehension. Drown, who ls a re-tired army ofTicer, was arrested bycity hall detectives at a lodginghouse at Ninth and Spruce streets.Brown was arrested a couple of

weeks ago for a daring hold-up onEighth street, this city. It wascharged that he entered a candy storeand demanded tho casli from thesalesgirl. When she hesitated be isalleged to have jumped over thecounter, placed a gun at the girl'shoi'd and rifled the cash drawer ofabout $40 and then escaped. Hewas arrested later, but dischargedbecnuso tho girl was unablo toIdentify bim. Ho said at that timehis wife was a wealthy woman resid-ing in Savannah.

tions pointed to success in the nego-tiations. Money ls needed to pay thesoldiers being gathered here. Thearmy is Huerta's one hope.

Tho government is meeting con-stant disaster in Its military opera-tions. Jerez, an Important town inZacatecas, has been captured by therebels in a bloody battle, in whichmore than 1,000 men fell, according ,'to dispatches received early to-day.

Five thousand Constiutionalislsare marching on the city of Zacate-cas, which ls defended only by 300Federals. In Zacatecas are thou-sands of refugees from Fresnillo,which the rebels occupied when theFederals retreated. i

To Recognize Belligerents?Washington, Nov. 3-Negotiations !

for ibo recognition of the MexicanConstitutionalists as belligerents areprogressing rapidly. This was shownto-day when President Wilson indi-cated to his callers that he was in Iunofficial communication with lead- Iers of the forces attempting to over- ]throw Gen. Huerta. i

President Wilson is centering his iattention at present upon tho ques- iHon of recognition. The working <ont of plans for Intervention, if that 1becomes necessary, is being left to tthe heads of the Navy and War De- jpartments. I
