Provisional President Huerta's reply
to Liml's representations. It will
take all day to decipher tho dis
patch, hut it is known that time is
asked to consider President's Wil
son's projiosnls.
(Vrtniu government officials pro
fess to believe that Hiiertn is mere

greatly interested and is anxious far
additional information. The word
ing of tho reply is said to indicate
that Hiiertn is seeking better tcims,
hut at the same time is also kirp
ing negotiations in progress until he
decides whether to tcsign from the
presidency.
Owing to Huerta's latest commu
nication, PreMilcnt Wilson arranged
today n conference with Chairman
Ha con of tho senate foreign rela
tions committee. Under tho cir
cumstances hn wishes to emphnsiro
his decision that there will ho no
removnl of the emhnrgo against tho
khipiner.t of arms into Mexico. The
president believes that this wocld
inflame anti-Americanism there and
might provoke tho adherents of Hii

Huerta's latest note hns already
been sufficiently trnmdntcd to
make certain Hint it opens a door
for further friendly negotiation. It
recites tho federal military suc

they have been since the original

responsible for holding up tho Soo
Spokano passenger train of the O.

Doubt seemed to exist in the
minds of some of the officers this

participated in tho robbery, but tlio
consensus of opinion was that four
men were involved.
