THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. n FETES ORDERED BK HUERTA TO SAVE BASKS Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. MEECJCO CITY, Dec. 28.—With three great, banks on the brink ot failure and rebele menacing even the capital, the Mexican Government to day gave Itself up to fetes in celebra tion of the birthday of Victoriano Huerta, the dictator of the republic. Early in the day a detachment of troops took up their, station at the National Paiace, following announce ment that receptions would take place there throughout the day. All mem bers of the diplomatic corps, with the exception of Nelson O’Shaughnessy. the American Charge d'Affaires, are expected to call on Huerta during the afternoon. While eluborate preparations were being made for the birthday celebra tion. leading financiers were holding a conference at the Bank of l^ondon and Mexico to devise means of avert ing the banking crisis, and deposi tors were besieging the institution, as well ajs the Central Bank and the Banco Nacional. The decree of the Government declaring a legal holiday until January' 2 increased the finan cial tension rather than decreased it. 1'ntil the time set the banks can refuse to meet any obligations, and as a result many business firms which require cash dally will have to close down. Desperate efforts ore being made to have French stockholders come to the rescue of the Bank of London and Mexico, and it is possible that they will have to advance a big loan to save their investments. Reports from Tampico indicate that the rebels are awaiting further rein forcements before making a grand as sault upon the city’s center. They have occupied positions that will pre vent the Federal gun hots giving any aid to the garrison when the attack is ordered. Senator Spooner Aids Women Held For Shoplifting NEW YORK.
