FOOD IS HURRIED TO FLEET Order to Prolong Stay Finds Ships With Stores Depleted. WASHINGTON, Nov. 8. The Navy Department today ordered the supply ship Culgoa, now at Norfolk, to. steam to New York to take aboard meats and other provisions for the fleet at Vers Crur and Tamplco. It was explained that this action was in line with th Navy Department policy to make the American squadron, as far as possible. Independent of supplies from shore, and to sustain this explanation it was pointed out that the fleet now in Mediterranean waters was accompanied by the supply ship Celtic for the same purpose. It appears that the second division of the fleet had allowed Its store of provisions to run low, expecting to leave Mexican waters earlier in the week, on the arrival of the third division. The order from Secretary Daniels, detaining the second division Indefinitely, has made It necessary to rush fresh food supplies to the ships.

The rebels retreated to the east of the canyon. Salazar has been in the Santa Clara Canyon for several days awaiting the approach of the rebel forces, which en tered it at El Valle, its western ex tremlty. HCEBTA REPORTED UXBEXDIXQ Washington Reported to Have Given Only Until Monday Night. MEXICO CITY, Nov. 8 General Huerta has shown no indication that he will comply with tne American de mands for his resignation. On the contrary, those who profess to have his confidence say his programme in eludes the continued occupancy of the presidency until some time late in the year 1914, and that he intends to carry out his plan of organizing the new congress and defying Washington, even to the point of war. However, the unexpected in Mexican politics is never surprising and every hour brings a new rumor regarding Huerta. One persistent report was that he had turned the government over to the foreign minister. Senor Mo heno, and had gone to Vera Cruz. An other was that he had committed sul clde. An Indication that Huerta has begun to . break with certain members THE SUNDAY OREGOXTAX, PORTLAND NOVEMBER 9, 1913. of. his latest Cabinet Is the reported: resignation of General Blanquet, the Minister of War. There is some basis for believing the United States has served on President Huerta a supplementary notice that his official career be brought to an end by Monday night. It was -reported to day that John Llnd. President Wilson's representative, was the medium em ployed by Washington. Mr. Llnd and the Mexican officials deny this, but the rumor originated in the National Pal ace. Those who Insist that General Huerta will resist all overtures say he admits financial weakness but is convinced that he can get enough money at in tervals to keep up a dogged, if inter mittent, campaign against the rebels. They add that he is still determined that the new Congress must meet and he expects it to annul th9 recent elec tions, leaving him in the Provisional Presidency until new elections are held at his call. It is insisted by the United States hat the new Mexican Congress must not meet, since it is believed one of the first acts of that body would be to legalize certain concessions that are noL considered desirable. The British Minister, Sir Lionel Car- den, conferred again today with Mr. Llnd. It was learned that their ideas regarding the solution of the situation are still far apart. MEXICAX POLICY CRITICISED Henry Lane Wilson Says Interven tion Will Mean War. CLEVELAND, O., Nov. 8. Henry Lane Wilson, whose resignation as Am bassador to Mexico was accepted by President Wilson, criticised the Ad ministration's Mexican policy In an ad dress before tne Union Club here to night. "I believe that had Huerta been ac corded diplomatic courtesies from this Government, peace and order in Mexico would have been brought nearer than they have been brought," the ex-Am bassador said. "No , one will say that Huerta la an ideal head for any gov ernment, yet, under the conditions that obtain in Mexico, I insist that with him the internationally recognized head of the government, the purposes of peace and order and the protection of the property and lives of Americans would have been conserved far better than they have been. "Mexico is a Latin country, with Latin traditions, and it should be per mitted to govern Itself according to Its own notions." Mr. Wilson concluded as follows: "By what course of reasoning can there be an Insistence from Washing ton that an Anglo-Saxon system of gov ernment can be established In Mexico, where 80 per cent of the population cannot read or write? "American Intervention means war." HUERTA GETS BRITISH LOAN Money Said to' lie Sufficient to Run Through Present Month. MEXICO CITY, Nov. 8. It was said on what appeared to be reliable au thority here today that Provisional President Huerta had obtained from British sources a loan sufficient to op erate the government until the end of the present month. The money, the amount of which is not announced, was procured, it Is said. through the influence of Lord Cow dray, head of the Pearson syndicate, which Is said to hold large oil concessions In the Mexican republic The financial situation in the capital was somewhat improved today.

WAR IN CUBA RECALLED State of Opinion In Empire Like That at Outset of Spanish-American Conflict, Which Has Since Been Justified. BERLIN, Nov. 8. (Special.) The at titude of the German press is in creasingly hostile toward the United States In the Mexican controversy. As at the beginning of the Spanish American War, pan-German papers are hostile to the point of insult. Pro fessor Delbrueck. the famous historian and political writer, said to a corre spondent: "The press does not always reflect the sentiment of the government or the people. Neither press nor people Influences the government's foreign policies, but there Is little doubt that public opinion in Germany Is against America's Intervention in Mexico, as it was at the beginning of the war in Cuba, when I held a different view. "Events proved that the press and the, publio were wrong. The United States did a great service, not only to Cuba and the Philippines, but to humanity and civilization. If the United States repeats in Mexico the great work It accomplished In Cuba and the Philippines, European nations will not be losers. On the contrary, they will benefit by the restoration of commerce and trade. "Other questions, however, are In volved. Who gave the United States overlordship of the Western Hemi sphere? By what right, moral or other wise, does the United States Interfere In Mexico and dictate who 1b to be President?" High Government officials denied to night that the two German warships detached from the North Sea fleet for a voyage to South American waters will be sent to Mexico. It was said that Germany had not the slightest Intention of taking any steps which might offend the United States. The correspondent's Informant said the Government had not yet re ceived any communication from the State Department at Washington re garding the intentions of the United States In the Mexican situation. He added that the German Government. while disavowing any Intention of coercing the United States, hoped that word will come soon of some decisive policy looking to ending the chaos.

GOTHAM AS BAD AS 1XIC0,SAYSB0RAH Southern Republic Needs Time Before It Can Duplicate New York Election. CAMPAIGN CRIES DERIDED Nation as Whole Declared to Be Without Foreign Policy and Nov in Position to Pose as Bet ter Than. Others. NEW YORK. Nov. 1. United States Senator Borah, a member of the for eign relations committee of the Sen ate, who arrived In New York recently, when asked ' first about the Mexican situation and. then for his opinion of the political situation In New York, found a sort of analogy between the two. As for a foreign policy. Senator Bora,h says we practically have none, and he believer the position the United States always has maintained in con nectlon with Latin-American coun tries Is in jeopardy not particularly through fault of the present Adminls tratlon, but because of the attitude of the American people. governments, like Individuals, are not supremely fitted to. censor other nations until they can present ex amples as well as precepts," said Sen ator Borah. "Mexico hasn't anything more deplorable, more debauching to the public mind than New York City has right now. Campalxn Methods Ridiculed. "The poltlcal condition In New York City today would be interpreted by the whole world as being Just as much a travesty on decent popular govern ment as would the political conditions in Mexico. In the greatest city of our country, a city which wields a tre mendous influence throughout the whole country, the only arguments which we can read of as being ad dressed to the voters are 'Liar!' 'Thief! 'Embezzlerl "Corruptionist!' 'Perjurer! Judgeships bought and sold! Justice auctioned off like the drunken Consu auctioned the dictatorship from the Roman ramparts! What grim humorist Huerta must be learning to regard us. we dilate on the beauty and ef ficiency of our way of doing business. and our benevolent and kindly desire to nave all countries imitate our ex ample. 'Mexico Is not prepared to give us i New York election. It takes time. It takes a higher civilization, it takes years and years of training under the most favorable advantages of self government to give us a New York campaign. How can Mexico Nicaragua and Guatemala, and the less expert enced republics be expected to reach our ideals so swiftly? We should be patient and while we are patient, try to avoid being hypocrites before the other republics of the West- Foreign Policy Wholly Lacking. "What do you think of the situation with -respect to Mexico?" Senator Bo rah waa asked. "I am not speaking of Mexico alone, but generally, when I say that a government and as a nation we .are without a foreign policy." said Sen ator Borah. "I do not now refer par ticularly to the Administration, but I refer to our attitude as a people. Our foreign policy Is nebulous, hesitating, undefined. There was a time when the Monroe Doctrine had a definite mean ing. As Monroe announced It, and as It was then thoroughly understood. It was a wise, useful and definite policy. "But its modern additions, and what is worse, its modern possibilities, leave us In doubt, and every (jentrai Ameri can country in dread. We apparently have reached the point where we are going to say Just what kind of govern ment the different people of Central America shall have, so people can feel easy while another people are talking about establishing protectorates over them, or while there Is talk of censor ing their governmental ambitions. "No one can doubt tor a moment. who is familiar with the situation, that our standing with the other countries of this continent Is greatly In peril." Centralis Oddfellows Elect. CENTRALIA.
