WASHINGTON, O. C. Oct. 17.
General Huerta plans to assemblo
tho foreign diplomats In Mexico City
today or tomorrow, according to
advices to the State Department, and
make a statement to them concerning
tlio present situation. No inkling
of Huerta's purpose was contained In
the dispatclies. His statement will
bo received bore with keenest Inter
cut, though administration olllclals
doubt wnethor It will alter tho sit
uation. Thoso closest to the admin
istration policy believe tho dealings
with Huerta are virtually ended mid
that veaceful measures to adjust the
situation -will be abandoned and ef
forts exerted in other directions.
Speculation on tho possibility and
extent of dealings with the Constitu
tionalists has been revived, but
brings no definite statement from
President Wilson, who has s.iltl he
would welcome Information of the
purposes of the Constitutionalists.

"H you desire this Information
1 will furnish the same and send
