MAY FINISH WORK
IN THREE WEEKS

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 1o.-John Lind,
the personal emissary Of President VIII
son, arrived at the capital last night and
has thus far had a comparatively un-
eventful experience In Mexico. Before
leaving Vera Cruz Mr., Lind was visited
by General Gustavo Mas: the military
commander there, he being the first off,
cial Of Mexico to meet the emissary. The
meeting took place at the train just be-
fore Mr.. Lind's departure, and General
Mas also did him the honor to parade
a small detachment OF troops alongside
his train.
The monotony of the trip In the regl-
lar day train from Vera Cruz to the
ca pital was broken by an inforced de-
lay by the wreck OF train ahead which
was the scene Of rebel activity. Mr.. Lind
said he had not the slightest intention
of discussing his mission with private In
terviewers He said his mission was to
President Huert and he could not discuss
1t with anyone else. There Is reason to
believe that before his mission to Mexico
Is ended he will have suggested more
than the mere fulfllment of the promise
byGeneral Huerta that elections be held.
1t has been pointed out that such a de-
mand is not wholly consistent since the
promise to hold elections in October has
already been made and intimations of
bad faith are out Of taste at the present
time.
Mr.. Lind does not propose TO act hast
lily though he will lose no time and II
may be that all his work in Mexico will
be finished within three weeks and pos
sibly much sooner. II General Huerta per-
sists In being unwilling to see him

While the president has mapped out a

Mr.. Lind from time to time will depend

ton was made tonight by Senator Bacon:

PARADERS FAIL TO
SHOW ENTHUSIASM
BY International News Service.
By N. A. JENNINGS.

MEXICO CITY. Aug. 1o.-The Huerta
demonstration, which had been awaited
with great fear by the foreign residents
Of the Mexican capital, took place today
without any untoward incident occurring
to justify the gloomy predictions that
had been made.
The Mexican government kept its
pledge that the occasion should not be
taken by agitators to encourage the
anti-Amercan feeling here. The belief
among the governments supporters here
tonight is that General Huerta has been
rebuked by tho Mexican populace OF the
better class. for the demonstration failed
TO develop the enthusiasm that had been
promised by the provisional preslde 8
friends.
AS a manifestation Of confidence In
encouragement for Huerta the whole af-
fair fell flat. The ''vtvas" that marked
the trtumphal entry Of Francisco I, Ma
dero after he had crushed Porf1Ho Diaz
were completely lacking
During the entire parade there was no
evidence OF enti-AInencan feeling. 1t
Is believed that the leaders were warned
that the relations between this country
and the United States were too unsettled
TO permit any outbreak at the present
time, Dispatches read late last night
from Washington announcing that En-
structions, except to Inv vestigate care
fully the situation in Mexico Is believed
70 have lessened the wrath OF the fiery
Mexicans, who had thought he was COM
ing here to run the country.
AS one man describing today's parade
apt1y put II, 'tf II had not been for the
music the whole affair would have been
taken for q funeral procession"
The only unusual thing connected with
the demonstration was that the marchers
were moi guarded by policemen. This is
believed to be the first time in Mexican n
history that such precaution has been
lacking.
