Washington American Gov.
eminent is confronted by what official
Washington regards as the most deli
cate situation in its relations with
Mexico that has yet developed since
armed revolution disturbed the peace
of the southern republic
The official declaration by Manuel
Cara Adalpe, Mexican Minister of
Public instruction, who is acting as
Minister for Foreign Affairs, to the eff
feet that John Lind, the Presidents
personal envoy, would be non grata
unless he brought credentials in due
form and was prepared to recognize
the Government of Mexico caused
decided stir
The threatened rebuff from the
Huerta administration to the mission
Of Mr. Lind, on the way to Mexico to
eXpound the hopes of the United
States for a suspension of hostilities
and an orderly, constitutional election
in Mexico, drew from Senator Bacon,
chairman of the Foreign Relations
Committee, a declaration on the floor
of the Senate that the present situa-
ton was the gravest in years, much
graver than confronted US when the
Cuban question was here"
President Wilson was unmoved by
advices from Mexico City depicting
the Huerta Government as inimical TO
Mr.. Lind's mission. He let it be
known, too, that so far as he was able
to learn there was not the slightest
demand from the American people for
Intervention and declined to discuss
alternatives that might be used in
event the efforts Of the American Gov
eminent to help restore peace in Mex
leo were rejected.
The President is confidently hope
full that a peaceable solution of the
Mexican trouble can be effected He
made it plain to callers that until ad-
vised officially to the contrary he
would continue to regard as incredible
the statements issued on behalf of
President Huerta declaring Mr. Lind's
presence in Mexico undesirable
While there is little disposition to
doubt the veracity of the news dis
patches describing the attitude of the
Huerta Government against Lind. hope
is entertained among Admin stration
officials that upon mature reelection no
such limitations will be formally con
yeyed to the Washington authorities

Huerta To Be Called On To Comply
With the Promise Made When
He Took Charge Of
Government

Washington.-Two hours of confer
ence between President Wilson, Secre-
tary Bryan and the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee brought about no
change in the attitude of the Admins
tration toward Mexico.
The President took the Senators
into his confidence far enough to out
line the following:
That John Lind, his special envoy
to Mexico City, does not bear any solu-
ton of the present situation, but is to
continue this Governments effort to
to redeem his promises for free and
constitutional elections.
That under no circumstances does
the Administration propose to recog-
nize the Huerta Government.
That Mr.. Lind is in Mexico City to
be the eyes and ears" Of the Washing
ton Administration on the ground and
to explain the attitude Of this Govern
ment when he has fully familiarized
himself with the situation.
That by Withdrawing Ambassador
Wilson and sending Mr. Lind, the
President planned to have a man on
the ground who was in sympathy with
the Administration here. and was in
no sense a factor in the situation in
Mexico City
These policies and suggestions OF
the President and Secretary Bryan
came out in general discussion. It
was made clear that the purpose of the
conference was to establish more
frank and intimate relations between
the Senate and the Adn'inistrati ton in
the development of the Mexican policy
and in the furtherance of this idea the
President talked freely and answered
many pointed questions.
There was practically 10 talk Of lift
ing the embargo on the Importation of
arms into Mexico, which some mem
bers Of the committee believe would
put a speedy end to tha difficulties.
The meeting was entirely friendly.
The President did most &C the talking
