NOTE is READY
FOR PRESENTATION
First Message of State Department at
Washington To the Huerta Gov
ernment in Mexico.

Mexico City, Aug. 1.-THE message
OF the state department at Washington
which John Lind, the personal represent
ative of President Wilson, has for Presi-
dent Huerta is ready for presentation.
Nelson O'Shaughnessy, the American
charge d'affaires, took steps yesterday
to ascertain if the Mexican government
would receive the communication. That
it win do so there is little doubt, since
it has never expressed unwillingness to
accept embassy communications and the
receipt Of this message would not in
volve the reception of Mr.. Lind or DIR.
William Bayard Hale.
All persons concerned in the presenta :
tion of the statement of the attitude
of the United States government to-
ward Mexico are reticent as TO its char
acter but there is reason TO believe that
the first note, if it is accepted, will be
followed by at least one other and that
the full import of Washingtons sugges-
tions or demands will be left for a still
later stage.
Mexican officials are uncommunicatiye
regarding the special mission of Mr.. Lind
but unofficially their attitude of nom
compliance with any plan OF interfer-
tuce On Une pdEb VI tuc Suitcu 0tntSo
government has not been altered.
Mr.. Lind and DIR. Hale were in close
conference for several hours yesterday.
The most of Mr.. Lind's time, however,
was spent at his hotel chiefly in order
that he might be near Mrs. Lind, who
is confined to her room by a slight ILL
ness. The plan to lodge Mr.. and Mrs.
Lind at the embassy was abandoned, as
the building is practically dismantled
Mr.. O'Shaughnessy, acting under in
structions of Secretary of State Bryan
last night delivered a note to the for
ieign office expressing the appreciation of
the United States for the courtesies thus
far shown to Mr.. Lind.
N. A. Jennings and Martin Ferree,
the two American newspaper correspond
ents, who were arrested Sunday night
and held by order of the minister of
the interior, were released from custody
early last night.
Distinct Relief at Capital.
Washington, Aug. l2.-Distinct relief
was apparent in official circles here yes
terday over the course of events in Mex
leo. The statement of FREDERICK Gam
boa, the new Mexican minister OF for
eign relations, that he had great faith
in the reasonableness of the judgment
of the United States" holding the con-
viction that the difficulties between the
two countries "soon would be adjusted
produced very favorable impression in
administration circles, Secretary Bryan
commented optimistically on it and the
White House officials were pleased.
President Wilson pointed out during
the day to callers what seemed to him
efforts ON the part of some people un.
known to him through published mis-
representations to involve the United
States in intervention. He reiterated
that the attitude of this government to-
ward Mexico in the present situation
was one of peace and friendliness.
The safe arrival in Mexico City of
John Lind, personal representative and
officially designated adviser to the Amer
lean embassy, ended some tense moments
in the situation.
With the air cleared OF rumors Of
hostilities in the Mexican capital to Mr..
Lind's presence there, officials were dis
posed to believe the program of the
American government would be carried
out quietly.

Michigan, which proceeded last Thurs
