the White House early today, Secre
tary Bryan announced he had receiv
ed the message from Manual Garzs
Adalpe, acting minister of foreign af
fairs, declaring on behalf of Presiden
Huerta that the presence of JOIN
Lind would be undesirable in Mexico
unless he brought recognition of the
Huerta government.
Mr. Bryan said that there was nc
change in plans with respect to Mr.
Linds mission. He declined to say
what the nature Of the American gov.
ernment's reply to the Adalpe message
would be.
Secretary Bryan said that the
message had been trans mitted
through the American embassy at
Mexico City, had been translated duc-
ing the night and was presented early
today to President Wilson. The pres.
ident had taken the position that it
was incredible that the Huerta gov.
ernment would refuse to receive an
envoy bound on peaceful mission.
Receipt of todays message brought
the situation to a diplomatic crisis
No information was forthcoming
after the conference as to what the
next step in the policy of the govern
ment would be, but it was considered
more than likely that message of re.
Ely to the acting minister of foreign
affairs would further outline the
friendly intention of the United
States, which would be expressed by
Mr.. Lind and would probably suggest |
that judgment be withheld concerning
Mr.. Lind's mission until he had an
opportunity. through the American
