eral hours were spent today by William
Bayard Hale, President Wilson's envoy,
in comforting with Francisco Eseudero,

been very satisfactory. The lifting of
the embargo, he said,, is the one thing
desirable at the hands of the United

will triumph soon even in spite of the
embargo.

the Constitutionalists' proposals had been
transmitted to Washington and that an
answer is expected tomorrow.
Meager, but official messages from Gen.
