How long will it last? Who knows?
Proof of the ill-feeling existing be-
tween the Mexican and United States
Governments is contained in the de-
fiant note sent by order of Huerta no
tifying the United States that if John
Lind came without papers recognizing
the Huerta government his presence
in Mexico was undesirable. John Lind
defying the defiance shown in this
note reached Vera Cruz August s, at
night. A special train conveyed him
to Mexico City, where it is not BEL
lieved there will be any official de.
monstration of displeasure. I'm.
sanctioned violence may take place
upon his arrival. The Mexican papers
applaud the stand by Huerta and this
makes the situation with regard to the
possibility of popular demonstrations
the national desire to have Lind with
out the recognition papers expelled
from the country as a pernicious for
eigner extremely delicate. 1t would
be a. suicidal act for Mexico to allow
any violence to be done the American
representative, and it is doubtful If
such a thing should come to pass,
whether the calmness of the heads of
the national government of the Unit
ed States could longer receive the sup
port of the aroused nation. Huerta
will %strenuously prevent any violence
to attend Lind's arrival in Mexico City
if he is wise, and if he fears that pop
ularly organized indignation meetings
will be held without government ap-
probation he will see that Lind is pro-
tected from the possible mad acts of
these frenzied Mexicans, which same
frenzy has been the curse and cause
of Mexico's present demoralized con-
diti0n. The harming of a hair of
Limbs head may bring down upon
Mexico an appalling horde of aroused
Americans and when their revenge
has been perfectly satisfied Mexico
may be in ruins and the Mexican peo-
pie completely annihiIated. Then may
some lone bronzed survivor standing
amongst the ruins of the National Pal
ace in Mexico City behold the sad re-
suit of Mexican madness and with
tears of sorrow in his eyes and signs
in his throat curse the mad Huerta
that had brought down this ruin up
his country. Let Lind alone and
Mexico may still be a nation, though
divided. with a future chance of pros
perity.
