was agreed to after a joint request
from FREDERICK Bamboo, Mexican min

the part OF the Huerta officials to have
the reading of the document deferred
indefinitely. Mr. Lind left the Mex
lean capital early Tuesday for Vera
Cruz, however, with the understanding
that the United States would announce
its policy today unless the Huerta gov
eminent receded.

Mr.. Lind had made certain supple

boa, the nature of which was not di

clared these constitute no departure
from the fundamentals of the Ameri

officially announced as follows:
l. Cessation of hostilities and a
definite armistice.
2. An early and free election.
3 Huerta to bind himself not to be
candidate.
4. Agreement by all parties to abide
by the results of the election.
Mr.. Lind informed Senior Gamboa
that he would stop in Vera Cruz and
could be reached there in case there
should be any reply to his last sug
gestions. For several days Gamboa
and Lind have been fencing, the form

fact that Charles Lee, attorney for
the Southern district. who was his
roommate at Sewanee, is in the city

Williams and Vardaman went to the
department, on separate and distinct
errands, Senator Williams desiring to
introduce President Miller of the Mis-

candidate for judge If the proposed
third district is created. Senator Var
daman was at the department in be
