AWAIT REPLY OF
GENERAL HUERTA
Feeling of Pessimsim Seems to
Reign in Official World,
Pending Mexican Answer.

Administration officials are expect
ing to hear from Mexico City this af-
ternoon whether President Wilson E
suggestions for a settlement of the
Mexican troubles has been accepted or
rejected by President Huerta- That
these suggestions have been laid be-
fore the Mexican executive was off,
cislly confirmed today.
Contrary to the feeling of optimism
in official circles during the last two
days. the feeling today was decidedly
pessimistic. The Administration is
waiting, and the outlook is admitted
TO be doubtful. Senator Bacon, chair
man of the Senate Committee on For
eign Relations, who saw the President
this morning. left the White House
declaring that il the negotiations in
Mexico City fail, this Government will
have at least shown the world that IL
was willing to try every peaceful
means. to bring about a solution OF
the difficulties.
Officials here refused to indicate what
messages have been received from
Jchn Lind. the Presidents representa-
tive in Mexico City. during the last
twenty-four hours. to bring about this
reversal of feeling.
Is Question Mark.
That some such word has been re-
ceived is plainly evident. In the Ian
guage Of those in close touch with the
Administration. the whole situation this
morning was an Interrogation point.
and persons who saw the President to-
Cay declared that he did not express
any hopes, one way or the other.
Intimations from Mexico City that
the Mexicans were making hostile
statements regarding the continued
presence there of William Bayard Hale,
one OF those upon whom the AdmInis-
tration has been relying for informa-
ton. has caused some anxiety here.
Mr.. Hale is a close personal friend or
the President and is regarded highly
by him.
In an official report to the State De
partment this morning the rebels are
reported as retreating from MoncloFa
toward Sabinas, and the report states
that they have burned the town OF
Lampacitos and bridges along the line
of retreat Gen. Jesus Carranza has
left Ciudad PorfiHo Diaz for Sablnas'
and the fedeTals are steadily advancing
northward.

CONVENIENCE OF PARCELS
POST.

Another indication of the value of
the parcels post to Alexandria mer-
chants is contained in the letter re-
ceived by We'll Bros, this morning
from resident of the vicinity of
Gunston, Fairfax county, ordering 4
pounds of meat to be sent by parcels
post. The purchaser stated that if
this meat was delivered in good con-
dition he would have fresh meat mail
ed 20 him daily. From such reports
being received from residents close to
Alexandria, it is evident a great deal
of interest is being aroused which the
merchants of this city should cult
vate and then prepare to anticipate
the demand that is certain to be made
upon them for the delivery Of grocer
les, drygoods and all sort of merchan-
disc which will be ordered by mail and
delivered by the new parcels post SER
