ARREST OF DEPUTIES.
STATEMENT BY MEXICAN FOREIGN MINISTER. (Received October 14, 12.30 p.m.) WASHINGTON, October 13. President Wilson has instructed Mr Lind, special envoy from the United States to Mexico, to represent to President Huerta that if the Mexican Deputies arrested are injured, the United States will regard it with much displeasure. The Mexican Foreign Minister states that the Deputies will be tried for various offences alleged against them. The "forthcoming election will not be affected. The Deputies are being well treated while in prison. [One hundred and tea Deputies have been imprisoned because they said, when demanding the production of a missing Senator, that if President Huerta refused the demand, they (the Deputies) would leave the capital immediately. Huerta, fearing the defection of the Deputies to the rebels, arrested the whole House in Cromwellian fashion. The Senate had passed a similar demand, but withdrew it' upon learning the fate oif the Deputies.! •*
