Keen Anxiety

Mexico City August 24.-The keen
est anxiety was manifested in the cap
ital today as to what will be the deyel-
opment of the undertaking of the Uni
ted States government in Mexlco's in
ternal affairs. Mexico's attitude is one
of waiting. while the people resident
here. both native and foreign, are dis
playing deep apprehension.
That President Huerta will make
public tomorrow the correspondence
between the two countries is now a
matter of doubt and in official circles
it is thought that President Wilson will
advance the date for the presentation
of his message. Notwithstanding a As
hour limit. No news of such deternl-
nation on the part of the President to
force General Huerta's hand in this
way has reached the embassy. however.
Rumors continue that Huerta is still
considering resigning, possibly in favor
of General Trevinon. but there is no
sound basis for this assertion. Those
close to the executive insisthe will not
alter the stand he has taken and will
await Washington's next move The
opinion is expressed here that there
will be swift elimination of oil peace
able relations If Congress is given op-
portunity for debate on President Will
sons statement of the facts in the
case.
Report Denied
Senior Gamboa, minister of foreign af-
fairs, denies the reports that Mexico
will make any proposal to the United
States, but expresses the hope that
Washington might reply to Mexico's
note rejecting the American demands.
Mr.. Lind. President Wilson's personal
representative, maintains cordial rela-
tions with the foreign office. but little
has been done during the last few days
by him and Senior Gamboa which would
be calculated to alter the situation. At
present official negotiations between
the two countries have ceased. Mr.. Lind
now being a spectator of events rather
than an actor. 1t is not expected that
he will leave here before President
Wilson's message is read.

der. The arrest was made at the Hill
man hospital where Gibson was recu-
perating from gunshot wound inflicted
a few weeks ago
Gibson Is said to be one of the negroes
who killed Policeman NJ NJ. OBrien in
1909. The killing occurred when o'Brien
went on a call to prevent disorder as
several negroes were engaged in "A pistol
battle. As the officer arrived the ne
sroes turned their pistols on him and
killed him. However, Policeman OBrien
shot and killed one negro before he died.
TWO negroes were arrested and con-
victed of killing Policeman O'Brien and
are now serving 99-year sentences in Pratt
Mines. Gibson, who 1t is alleged was
mixed up in the killing, disappeared at
that time and the police never got on
his track until few days ago when
Detectives Tyler and Moser traced him up.

Secretary Bryan had brief conference
with President Wilson during the day.
discussing the Mexican situation. Mr.
Bryan announced that the situation re-
mained unchanged. 1t is expected in many
quarters here. however. that the Huerta
government may withdraw its rejection of
the American proposals and submit a new
basis of negotiations. This action admit
tedly would defer the reading of the Pres
dents message.
The execution near Mexico City of Dep
uty Serapio Rendon because he was al
legged to have plotted to assassinate Pro-
vsional President Huerta, Is regarded by
constitutionalist representatives here as
an act of intimidation deliberately planned
by Huerta to influence other members of
the Mexican congress, which convenes
next month and which is likely to have
before ii important questions of policy.
Rendon is reported to have been one OF
Mexico's most popular deputies, Madero
adherent and well liked by Americans in
Mexico.
