Huertas Note to the Powers
A Washington dispatch, dated
Nov. 10, says: Secretary Bryan made
public the text of the note presented
by the Huerta provisional government
last night to the foreign diplomats in
Mexico City. The note, which was
aligned by Querido Moheno, minister
of foreign relations, follows in full:
"In conformity with the provisions
of article 81 of the constitution, and
in view of the lack of a president or
vice president and of the secretary
of state and of the department of for
eign relations, the provisional presi
dency devolved upon the secretary of
state and of the department of gober
nacion, General Victoriano Huerta,
who from that time by the ministry
of the law has discharged the duties
of the offices. Thus, in accordance
with the will of the Mexican people
formally made manifest in the consti
tution of February 5, 1857, there re
mained established the presidential
succession and the unquestionable
legality of the present government.
The union and the supreme court of
justice of the nation solemnly recog
nized without objection the new
ruler.
Act According to Constitution,
"In this way the three branches of
the government continued the func
tion by whose conduct the Mexican
people exercise' the national sov
ereignty in accordance with articles
89 and 50 of the same constitution
The political program of the pro
visional government, constituted in
this manner from that time, has been
defined perfectly and concentrated on
two fundamental propositions;
"To re-establish peace in order
that extraordinary elections might be
held in compliance with the already
cited article 81 of the constitution, in
order to- turn over tjie1 executive,
power to the one designated at these
elections and the one to make re
spect for the law". l
"In compliance with this program,
the executive launched a call for
elections, taking care that there
should be fixed for their holding a
time which he deemed prudent, not
only that the preparatory work might
be carried out, but also that the re
public might return to a state of
order which has been deeply dis
turbed in some of the northern fron
tier states and also, though in a much
less degree, in other states. Acting
in accord with the initiative of the
executive and in compliance with the
constitutional precept quoted, the
congress of the union convoked spe
cial elections to be held 'October 26,
past, since it was believed by that
time peace successfully would :be
established in all the republic arid
fair elections guaranteed.
Dissolve the Congress.
"In order to comply with the sec
ond of these proposals the executive
made clear his respect for the other
governmental powers, but unfortun
ately one of the houses of the legis
Jative power, the chamber of depu
ties, attempted in such manner to
invade the prerogatives of the execu
tive as to refuse in some cases to
recognize the judicial j)ower, and the
conduct of some of the members who
were shielded by their constitutional
oxemption from arrest, publicly were
fomenting and even, leading an.
armed rebellion, reached such a pass
as to make impossible harmonious
action with the executive, without
which any government Would go to
pieces.
"The president of the rnmihHp. was
forced to determine to disanivA tha
chamber of deputies as a necessary
juHunure ior me salvation of the re
public, foreseeing as ho rilrT th affn.
of anaTchy which' - inevitVihiv wouih
Vhave been brought about if lie had
continued to tolerate revolution in
the midst of one of the constituted
branches of the government. As the
senate alone could not function con
stitutionally he declared the congress
dissolved.
"But as it has never been the pro
posal of the executive to govern out
side the constitution he took care im
mediately to convoke elections to
constitute a new congress and solely
in the meantime assumed extraordi
nary faculties in the departments of
hacienda, gobernacion and war,
where such action was indispensable
and this was done with the solemn
promise to give account of the use
which he has made of such powers to
the new congress as soon as it shall
be installed.
Judicial Powers Upheld.
"It was also a motive of especial
care and attention of the ad interim
government to respect and uphold
the judicial power, which continued
without any let in its august mission
of Beeing that individual guarantees
are respected, so that the march of
the public administration has con
tinued without other obstacles than
those which a state of internal strife,
which even yet prevails in some por
tions of the republic, perforce brings
with it.
"The elections of president and
vice-president of the republic and of
deputies and. senators to the congress
of the union already have been held.
Congress will be installed within a
few days and in accord with the con
stitution will pass upon the election
of president and vice-president and
will render a decision as to their,
validity or nullity.
"At the approach of the date fixed'
