lat his suggestion. Very cordial"
The message was received at 2:10
a. m. today
The senators conferred briefly with
President Wilson and as they left the
White House said they were satisfied
that morning reports were not justi-
fled. They still were hopeful that
Mr. Lind's efforts to bring about an
amicable understanding would be suc-
cessful,
Both senators were acquainted with
the contents of Huerta's note to the
American government cabled by
Charge O'shaughnessy to the state
department. Although the tone of the
note is scornful in its rejection of the
American suggestions, nothing in It
related to an ultimatum or demand
for recognition.
Senators Quash investigation
A general disposition in the senate
to demand some definite statement
from the administration was headed
off by Senators Lodge, Bacon and
Stone, who had direct information
from the White House
Senator Penrose had prepared to
speak again on his resolutions asking
for reports on Mexican conditions and
the official status of William Bayard
Hale. Senator Lodge urged him to
delay and after a conference between
the two on the floor, Senator Pen
rose took his seat without raising the
Mexican question. Later he asked
that his resolution be allowed to go
over for two or three days without
action The Pomdexter resolution,
asking what measures had been taken
to protect Americans in Mexico also
went over without debate Confer
ences took place on the. senate floor
throughout the session and a disposi-
tion on the republican side not to
force a discussion of the situation, but |
to await developments, grew stronger.
Chairman Bacon Of the foreign re
lations committee reiterated today
that the United States would stand
in the eyes of the world,
whatever the outcome of the negotia-
tions, because of its consistent effort
to bring about peace in Mexico.

h.dministration Optimistic but Wary
Washington, Aug. 19.-Charge d
Affaires O'Shaughnessy cabled secre-
tary Bryan from Mexico City early to-
day that President Huerta, through
Foreign Minister Gamboa emphatical-
" denied there was ANY foundation
whatever" for the statement that

ton with the alternative Of handing
Mr.. O'Shaughnessy his passports.
A dispatch from John Lind informed
President Wilson and Secretary Bryan
that he had been in conference with
Provisional President Huerta at an
early hour today He characterized
his reception and conference with
Huerta as cordial"
Last nights dispatches attributing
the announcement by Minister Urritia
of an ultimatum by Huerta stirred Of
fetal circles here deeply.

the morning newspapers and hurried
down to his Office wheer he found the
reassuring cable from Charge o.
shaugnessy and then went to the
White House to confer with President
Wilson While there the message
came. from MI. Lind, telling Of the
conference with Huerta
Charge O'Shaughnessy's dispatch,
backed up by Mr. Lind's served to dis
pei the impression the first news dis
patches had created, and the official
views switched around to a general
belief that while the situation was a
delicate one, there was hope of some
satisfactory conclusion SO long as con-
ferences were continuing between
Huerta and Lind
Senators Lodge and Stone were
shown the following cablegram to
Secretary Bryan from Charge 81
Shaughnessy dated last night and re-

to government before 70 o'clock mid

to that effect

attention Of the minister Of foreign
affairs at 10 p. m. He Immediately
saw the president and the minister
OF gobernacion, Senior Urritia who is
supposed to have given out the state
ment, and he authorized me to deny
this statement to my government as
