WILSON'S MESSAGE PRAISED

Washington, Aug. 29.-President
Wilson left Washington late to-day
for the summer capital at Cornish,
~ H., still hopeful of favorable cul-
mination of the negotiations under
taken by this country to bring about
peace in Mexico.
Although no affirmative action on
either side had been reported up to
the time of the Presidents depart
ure. encouraging dispatches We're
| received from Nelson O'Shaughnes-
sy, in charge of the American EN-
bassy at Mexico City, bearing on the
general situation. These reached
the President a few hours before
train time and led him to determine
upon Il short rest over Labor Day.
Nothing in the adyices from
Mexico City gave the Administration
officials cause for particular anxiety.
and 1t was the general conviction
that "A lul in the diplomatic en-
changes would be beneficial to all
concerned. The President, it is
known, feels that good may come
from an opportunity for the posi-
ton of this Government, as an
nounced in his message of Wednes-
day, to sink in"
Excitement subsiding over the eX-
change of proposals and replies
would. ii was believed. lead to fur
tber negotiations between the Off
Gals of Mexico City and Mr.. John
Lind. the personal representative of
this Government.
Mr. Lind. it was asserted tonight,
had been instructed from Washing
ton to continue to act at his own
discretion as to whether he should
await developments at Vera Cruz or
return to Mexico City.
Mr.. Lind, it was reported. probab-
ly would make the next move in the
negotiations, which the President
emphatically asserted in his mes
sage had not been closed. and could
be resumed on the initiative of eth
err nation.
The fact that the Mexico City Of
fcials in their second note of reply
had receded from the demand for an
exchange of accredited Ambassa-
doris, il was pointed out. left an OPP
ening for future moves.
Before deciding to go to Cornish
President Wilson discussed the sit
uation at length with Cabinet OIL
GERS. and arrangements were made
whereby he could be notified at once
of any Developments.
Hundreds of kilograms and let
ters reached the White House to-day
from all parts of the country express
sing approval of President Wilson's
message on Mexico. These were not
made public, but the President is
known to have been highly gratfi-
ed at the sympathetic reception his
course has received.
Reports TO the State Department
to-day continued to tell of the exc
dus of Americans from Mexico.
From Tampico came news of large
numbers gathering from San Luis
Potosi and adjacent States and IL
was said hundreds were expected at
Vera Cruz from the Southern inte-
rior States to await embarkatiOB.
while many probably will go to
New Orleans and Galveston. il is en-
pected that not few will seek safe
ty in Cuba. while some will so to
Europe.
Lind Won't Return.
Vera Cruz. Aug. 29.-John Lind .
let II be understood tonight that he
will not return TO Mexico City ex-
cept on the special invitation of
Huerta. He probably will
sail on the next Ward Line steamer
sailing from this port to the United
