Tills ultimatum from Washington was conveyed to President Huerta through hla private secretary, Senor Rabago by Nelson O'Shiiughnessy, the American Charge d'Affalres, acting under Instructions from the State De partment.

The struggle In Mexico will con tinue until one side or the other la beaten Into helplessness, the state ment asserts. It further deolares that the constltutlonallata are confident of wiping out Dlstator Huerta and hla partisans in a short time If the em bargo on arms is lifted.
