ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCHl WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-Great i Britain, France and Japan are among the other nations who have inter- posed their influence on the HuertI 1, administration of Mexico in support of the efforts of the United States to bring about a peaceful settlement Of the revolution. Unless some tang ible oVertureS. however, are received within forty-eight hours from the Huerta officials indicating a desire to accept the fundamental proposals of United States, the president will proclaim to congress and to the world, the attitude of this govern ment toward the southern republic. Official reports in the state depart ment show that the Huerta regime is in financial straits and has little prospect of getting funds anywhere to meet the running expenses of the government or to pay to the troops which are already restive because of deferred payments. The insistence of the United States for a consutu- tional election and the elimination of Huerta is reiterated positively by the administration officials and ls the position which Lind has been in structed to emphasize. Only con sessions from Huerta government, it is believed here, will now persuade President Wilson to hold up the presentation of the message. The president finished the document to- day and read it over to Secretary Bryan and will discuss it on Monday with the members of the Senate and House committees on foreign rela- tions In the meanwhile the officials will await word from Mexico City as to a possible change of attitude. The sending of a special envoy rom Mexico to Washington to further discuss the situation with President Wilson is regarded here as dilatory move It is known that the Wash ipgton government made it clear that such a procedure would not alter it's views expressed in the first note It is believed, however, that the Huerta officials have abandoned the idea of an envoy, and are seek ing to develop a new basis or nego- tiatiOns.
