Huerta Must Resign Presidency Saws Wilson.

City of Mexico, Nov. 3.—President Huerta must resign the presidency of Mexico without loss of time and must not leave as his successor General Aureliano Blanquet, his minister of war, or any other member of his official family or of the unofficial coterie that he might be and so. far as could be learned, had expected control. This ultimatum from “ Washington has been conveyed to President Huerta through his private secretary, Senor Rabago, by Nelson O’Shaughnessy, American charge d’affaires, rioting under instructions from the state department. Senor Rabago presented the memorandum' to his chief late Sunday, but up to this evening, President Huerta had returned no answer, an, so far as could be learned, had guarded its contents from almost all his official and intimate counselors. Those who learned of the Washington note regard General Huerta’s position as one in which he will be forced to give one of two answers—refusal point blank to comply with the demand, possibly going so far as to hand the diplomatic representative his passports, or the elimination of himself officially. Those most intimate with the Mexican president insist that the latter course will not be taken for many reasons, chief among which is that sueh action would he tantamount to submission to the rebels. Official Mexico is no longer in doubt that the Washington administration favors the rebel cause, and is convinced that this is the means adopted by President Wilson and Secretary Bryan to assist Carranza to win. General Huerta summoned to the national palace tonight the diplomatic corps, but for what was not revealed.
