ANXIETY AT WASHINGTON.
Washington. Feb PA feeling of
/ anxiety over the situation in Mexico
continued throughout official circles
during the early part Of the day, but
no additional dispatches were made
public TO throw further light on the
| condition existing. 1t was felt that
/ Ambassador Wilson's message stating
! that the diplomatic corps would not
attend luncheon to be given at noon
| to discuss the situation would prove
a sufficient indication to the Mexican
authorities of the purpose of this and
other governments. Chief activity was
manifested in the war department,
where additional plans for mobiliza-
/ ton of troops are being made.
RECOGNITION Is WITHHELD.
The extent to which recognition may
/ be extended by the United States to
the Huerta government has not been
determined. From present indications
this will depend largely upon the rec
/ ommendation OF Ambassador Wilson,
who has been given large discretion,
airy authority in the matter. The ques-
ton is likely to be brought to an is
sue very soon through some applica-
ton from the Husrta government,
when the tragic events Of Sunday will
likely be considered.
