HUERTA IS FUSSY AND MAKES THREAT

Usurping President of Mexico Sends Ourt Note to Washington.— May Try To Whip Us. President Huerta, who ascended to the presidency of Mexico after the most cowardly treachery to President Madera and who sanctioned the murder of Madera .in order to prevent the exposure of his act, and who has very properly been denied recognition by both the Taft and Wilson administrations, is now on a high horse because President Wilson has sent John Lind to Mexieo City as a peace maker. Huerta has now sent a note to the officials at Washington to the effect that unless John Lind, the President’s special envoy, brings recognition of the Huerta government he will not be welcomed in Mexieo and will riot be dealt with by Huerta'or his government. A dispatch to Washington from another source is even more threatening, and states that Mexieo will take up arms against the United States if it undertakes either mediation or intervention. Huerta is certainly proving his unworthiness of recognition and his attitude is the cause of activity in Washington official circles. **fhe president and Secretary Bryan regard the situation as tense and there is a growing probability that the United States Will be compelled to send troops across the border for the protection of American lives and to keep them there as a guarantee of a cessation of the Mexican bush-whacking warfare.
