MEXICO CITY, Dec. 28.—With three great banks on the brink of failure and rebels 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 Palace, 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 elaborate preparations were being made for the birthday ceiebra tlon, leading financiers were holding a conference at the Bank London and Mexico to devise means'of avert ing the banking crisis, and deposi tors were besieging the institution, as well as 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. Until the time set the banks can refuse to meet any obligations, and as a result many business firms w hich require cash dally will have to close down. Desperate efforts are 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 gunbots giving any aid to the garrison when the attack is ordered.

Detectives said later that the Senator had told them that he and the women were old friends and that they had not given their right names. When the case came up it was con- tinued. while efforts were made to identify the prisoners. Jjgp Cardinal Aglardi for ! $ Holy See Leadership Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
