Mexico City, March 18. General Huerta, owing to the increasing seriousness of the financial situation in Mexico, is said to be preparing to reopen negotiations with Mr. John Lind, President Wilson's personal representative. General Huerta yesterday summoned 80 of the wealthiest Mexicans, and informed them that a decree had been passed levying 10 men from each owner of haciendas or ranches throughout the country, in order to enable him to take the field against the rebels. It is understood that if the hacienda owners agree a force of 500,000 men will be raised.
