JERE'S the dope on Ambrose
II Mcconnell. fresh from mead
quarters.
1t has been announced duly that
Atlanta was trying to get Andy for
second baseman next season. There
was a little Misunderstanding as to
whether the hitch, if any, lay with
the Toronto ball club of the East
ern League, or with Andy himself.
1t is not believed there is any hitch
but if there is, it is not with the To-
ronto club. The purchase papers went
forward Monday night, and Andy
belongs to the Crackers.
Now it is up to Ambrose.
nF course Andy may get fussy and
~ decline to move South. People
have done that before. In that event,
the sale would be considerably null
and void, under the existing ruling by
the National Commissioner very
proper one, too.
But there is no intimation at pres
ent that Andy will pull anything like
that. Andy knows this is good
league, and that this is a good town

Refusal Of Mexico to Receive Amer.
lean Representative.

Washington, Aug. 9.-Despite all at.
tempts to assume an attitude of op-
timism there was some grave appre-
hension in official circles over the re-
ception which will be accorded John
Lind, President Wilson's personal rep
resentatiye, when he lands in Vera
Cruz.
Official circles have insisted and
were still insisting that the open at
titude of opposition adopted by the
Huerta government was a bold blum
in last final attempt to force recog
milton.
Ii it is, all will be well. But, If not,
and Lind, who has been openly &C.
cepted by President Wilson in public
announcements as his personal repre-
sentative, is molested the government
Will be confronted with a situation
Identical with that which followed the
blowing up of the battleship Maine in
Havana harbor in 1898.
Lind may fail In his mission and
no trouble result. The existing gov.
ernment may decline to adopt any
suggestion from him and he may have
to return here with empty hands.
Then 1t would be up to the president
to initiate his second step already
planned, although carefully guarded.
Would Be an Act Of War.
But an indignity to Lind, either by
the Mexican officials or a mob. which
followed official suggestion, would
practically amount to an act of war
which would necessitate armed re.
prisals.
Huerta will very probably force his
hand in Mexico City within the next
three days. The provisional presi-
dent OF Mexico is soldier utterly de-
void of diplomacy. Those who know
him best would not be surprised IL he
curtly orders Lind to remain on board
the New Hampshire and return to Gal
weston.
A press dispatch quotes Huerta as
saying that the limit of patience had
been reached so far as the United
States was concerned and that he had
decided to resist with arms any fur
ther attempt on the part of the Unit
ed States to interfere in Mexican ar.
fairs. While this is not official, per-
sons here who know Huerta say he is
just the type to make such a declara-
tion and IL he has done so its effect
would be to infiame the Mexicans to
such an extent that anti-American ont
breaks can hardly be prevented.

|ULTIMATUM SENT
TO WASHINGTON
huerta Demands Recognition
or Lind'S Recall.
WILSON STILL HAS HOPES

Considers Threatened Repulsior o,
Friendly Representative IncredIb Ible
but Future Plans Are Kept Secret
by the Administration.
Washington, Aug 9.-After a con.
ference with President Wilson at the
White House Secretary Bryan an.
nounced he had received a message
from Manuel Cara Adalpe, acting
minister of foreign affairs, declaring
on behalf of President Huerta that
the presence of John Lind would be
undesirable in Mexico unless he
brought recognition of the Huerta gov.
ernment.
Mr.. Bryan said that there was no
change in the plan with respect to
Mr.. Lind's mission. He declined to
say what the nature of the American
governments reply to the Adalpe
message would be.
Secretary Bryan said that the mes
sage had been transmitted through
the American embassy at Mexico
City, had been translated and was
presented to President Wilson.
The president had taken the posi-
tion that it was incredible that the
Huerta government would refuse to
receive an envoy bound on a peaceful
mission. Receipt of the message
brought the situation to diplomatic
crisis
No information was forthcoming af-
ter the conference as to what the
next step in the policy of the Amer
ican government would be, but 1t was
considered more than likely that the
message of reply to the acting minister
CT foreign affairs further would out
line the friendly intentions of the
United States, which would be ex-
pressed by Mr.. Lind.
