 Dispatches, today, that negotia tions for peace between Diaz and Huerta, would be conducted through the Am erican embassy indicated how big a part Wilson will play in the sftua- ton.
 Unless there are some unforeseen contingencies, the latest events in Mexico have transferred future activ- ities from the Taft to the Wilson ad- ministration. It will be President Wilson's problem to decide whether the new Mexican government shall be recognized; it may be that American naval and military forces will be held at strategic points until the new Pres ident orders their return and it will be Wilson's task to obtain indemnity from Mexico for destruction of Amer ican lives and property.
 There was no change, today, with regard to the disposition of American military and naval forces, which have been ready for intervention orders for the last few days. Troops in the east will continue to hold themselves in readiness for foreign service

BOMB WRECKS
 GEORGES HOME Suffragettes Suspect ed of Outrage by
 Scotland Yard
British ChanCelIOr'S Country Residence Was Destroyed
 Early Today

London, Feb. 19-Chance11or of the ExecheQuer David Lloyd Georges country residence at Walton on the Hill was wrecked by a bomb explo- sion, early this morning, and detectives from Scotland Yard are securing the countryside convinced that the out rage was perpetrated by suffragettes The bomb was planted in the ser wants room and the explosion shat tered the walls on that side of the house. blew out all the windows in the building and broke many of the joists supporting the floors above and below.
 The house new and unoccupied as the finishing touches had not been ed, today, they found the house nearly a complete wreck. In one of the front that had not exploded. Detectives were notified by telephone and came on the rush in automobiles.
 The fact that the house was unoc- cupied and the presence of fresh au- tonobile tracks in the roadway and driveway convinced the detectives that suffragettes had planned the ex- pIosion to destroy the property, know ing there was no danger to human life. Sensational reports that it was a deliberate attempt to murder Lloyd 1ently opposed to the suffrage move ment but it is not believed by the police that anything more serious than destruction of property was con tenp1ated.
 Detectives are following the trial of the automobile that is believed to have driven the bomb planters to Wal ton on the Hill. It is reported that a limousine car containing several women and two men was seen driving in the direction of the George coun- try estate, last night.
 The unexploded bomb was compos- ed of a. ten pound can of black powder to be ignited by a short candle set in shavings, soaked with kerosine. The candle was supposed to burn down until it's flame touched the shavings which flaming up, would reach the powder. The candle was blown out by the first explosion, before it reached the shavings. Remnants of the first bomb showed it had been of similar formation.
 In the full belief the wreclzing was the work of some of her followers, Mrs 'tGeneral'' Flora Drummond, militant suffragette par excellence, expressed great delight.
 ftIt was simply grand ,'' she exclafm- ed f'It shows the great determination of the women of our cause and their fear1essnesS. I heartily approve of all dennonstrations of mflitancy against cabinet members except the taking of human 1ife.''
