keenest interest by

awaited with keenest interest by
officials here
The administration, which has
been consistently endeaVoring to
work out its plans in the quiet realm
of diplomacy, continued to insist that
negotiations to compose the situation
would be more effective If clothed
with secrecy.
Outwardly administration officials
view the situation calmly and some
OF them express a feeling OF optimism
over the future. It was evident from
canvas of administration officials
that published stories predicting
armed Intervention were not justified
at this time. Persons close to the
White House declared that both
President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan were still hopeful that their
policy OF moral suasion would succeed
and added that any assumption that
plans for Intervention were being
laid was unwarranted
So far as the plans or the admin
istration can be expressed in general
terms, the course that is being pur-
sued is subject to change with the
shifting developments of each day
and high officials admit that daily
different phases of the situation crop
up which make 1t impossible to pre-
dict even their own course far in the
future.
There is a disposition to handle
the present diplomatic efforts by con-
fining the discussion to informal par
leys at Vera Cruz and Mexico City,
unembarrassed by the publication of
any documents or the Lind CORES
pondence. The intention, IL is be-
aeved by many trained observers, is
TO conduct conversation and proposals
with the Huerta officials in secret
until there are tangible developments.
