IT,. still hopeful of favorable culmi-
nation OF the negotiations undertaken
by the country to bring about peace
in Mexico
Although no affirmative action on
either side had been reported up to
the time Of the presidents departure.
encouraging dispatches were received
from Nelson O'Shaughnessy, in charge
or the American embassy at Mexico
City, bearing on the general situa
tIOn. These reached the president
few hours before train time and led
him 10 determine upon a short rest
over Labor day.
Nothing in the advices from Mexico
City gave the administration officials
cause for particular anxiety and 1t
was the general conviction that
lull in the diplomatic exchanges would
be beneficial to all concerned. The
president, it is known, feels that good
may come from an opportunity for
the position of this government. as
announced in his message of We'd
nesiay. 10 "sink in.
Excitement subsiding over the eX-
change of proposals and replies
would. il was believed, lead 10 fur
ther negotiations between the officials
OF Mexico City and John Lind per-
sonal representative Of this govern
hesnt.
It's All Up to Lind.
Mr.. Lind. il was asserted Friday
night had been instructed from
Washington TO continue TO act at his
own discretion as to whether he
should await developments at Vera
Cruz or return to Mexico City. Up to
late hour no dispatches had been
received at the state department from
Mr.. Lind. Secy. Bryan said before
leaving for an overnight trip in
Pennsylvania, that he believed the en-
voy ur1uld remain in Vera Cruz Fri
day night. Early in the day Mr..
Bryan conferred with the president
over the reply of Senior GambOa, Mex
lean secretary Of foreign affairs to
Mr.. Lind's second note. They also
considered a message sent by Mr..
Lind TO Washington Thursday after
noon. That these latest communica-
tions gave reason for hopeful eXpecta-
tions was freely admitted.
Mr.. Lind. it was reported, probably
would make the next move in the
negotiations. which the president en-
had not been closed and could be re-
sumed on the initiative of either ma
ton. The fact that the Mexico City
officials in their second note Of reply
had receded from the demand for an
exchange Of accredited ambassadors.
IL was pointed out. left an opening
for future moves. The view was eX-
pressed that the Gamboa reply to
the second American note might actu-
ate Mr.. Lind TO address a third note
10 the officials of the Huerta gov
ernment.
