Secretary Bryan said today that he
was not prepared to state at present
when he will resume his lecture en-
gagements, although It is probable that
some announcement along this line will
be forthcoming within a few days. He
Is known to have turned down a num-
Der of lucrative lecture offers besides a
number of Invitations to attend large
functions. and has confined his en-
gagements to the Chautauqua circuit.
Concerned Over Nicaragua.
Besides the Mexican situation the Sec
retary is concerned with the proposal
of a new treaty with Nicaragua, which
proposes to establish a protectorate over
that country. The Senate committee,
which had the proposal under advise
ment again this morning, is expected
to come to an agreement which will en-
able the Secretary to make a perman-
ent draft of the proposed treaty. The
government Of Nicaragua has already
agreed to the general terms Of the pro-
posal.
When asked whether he was amplify-
ing bis written report to the President
On conditions in Mexico, the ambassa-
dor said:
AT present I am enjoying the eli
mate Of Washington"
Official Washington has known for
some time that economic conditions in
Mexico as a result Of the revolution
have recently become well-nigh intoler-
able. Industries are idle Merchants
are unable to do business Banking Is
crippled by prohibitive rates of ex-
change, and railroads of the country
formerly prosperous, are said to be
facing the prospect of defaulting on
their bonds and going into the hands of
receivers.
President Brown, Of the National
Railways of Mexico, an American prop
erty, was in Washington yesterday and
saw Secretary Bryan. The National
Railways is among the heaviest losers
from the revolutions. Its lines have been
torn up repeatedly by the warning fac
tions, and its train service suspended.
Alive To Their Peril.
Alive to their peril, the business men
OF Mexico. many of whom have been
Indifferent as to the principles behind
ton, are beginning to bring pressure. II
is reported, and have hopes of forcing
the war to a close.
During the past few days, prior to
Ambassad dor Wilson's interview with the
President. the suggestion has been made
occasionally that a way would be found
to bring about peace and order in
Mexico without imposing on the United
States the alternatives OF recognizing
Huerta or intervention. Where these
suggestions originate no one seems to
know, but they are persistent.
II is now believed that they came
originally from these non-partisan busi-
ness interests OF Mexico.
II is understood to be the suggestion
of these interests, that, II given reason
able time by this country, they will
bring about a reconciliation between the
Carranzistas and the Huerta forces, and
will compel as a price of his reconcilia-
ton, the resignation of Huerta, and the
selection of a strong successor capabl2
of holding both factions in line. 1t is
stated that Huerta could bring peace
Immediately by resigning. Moreover, by
doing this. the United States could
recognize the new government and give
# its moral support without repudiating
it's previous refusal to recognize the
Huerta regime
In the meantime. ii is believed. Pres
ident Wilson will walt. but only long
enough to give these business factors
reasonable time to act. In the mean
time, Ambassador Wilson's fate remains
In the balance 1t is not believed that
he will return to Mexico, but he has
merely been advised to hold himself in
readiness to appear at any time before
the President. the Secretary OF state
or the Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations
At the close Of yesterdays conference
at the White House, both the ambassa-
dor and Secretary Bryan announced
that only matters Of fact as to Condi-
tons in Mexico. set forth in the am
bassadOr's written report, were dis
cussed, and that remedies or matters OF
policy were not touched upon.
This would indicate that the Admin
istratiOn has been advised Of the suE-
gestion Of the business interests Of
Mexico through outside sources. and
strengthens the belief that. in framing
it's policy with regard to Mexico, the
Administration is not relvIng on the
American embassy in Mexico
