HUERTA NOW KNOWS HOW WILL
son VIEWS SITUATION.
Formal Message of Mr.. Lind VIII moi
BE Given Out Before Next
Monday IL l. said.

WASHINGTON, Aug. l5.-Tho
IIucrta government through confer
encts in Mexico city between John
Lind, President Wilson'S personal
representative, and foreign minister
Gamboa. now knows the viewpoint
Of the United States and its desires
for only a peaceful and friendly So
luton Of MeXicos troubles. The for
NAL communication Mr.. Lind bears
will not be handed to Mexico before
Monday, at least, when it also will
be transmitted to diplomatic repre-
sentatives of foreign powers In Wash
ington.
What the result Of publishing these
views will be, officials here do not
venture to predict They have no as
surances that the Huerta government
Will accept them but they believe the
spirit thus far shown by the Huerta
officials justifies a hopeful feeling
for the success of Mr.. Lind's mis-
sion
Observers of the situation gener-
ally look for pronOuncement OF
some kind from I1uer,a Immediately
following the presentation of Presl-
dent Wilson's message through Mr..
Lind. II is expected in diplomatic
circles that President Huerta will
formally announce a call for an
early election.
Constitutionalistk hitherto have
claimed they would not engage In
any election in which the Hucrta
government exercised control over
the election machinery
The possibility of an agreement,
however, for a bipartisan commits
sion Of MeXicans to conduct the cleo
tion is being discussed and should
the situation actually progress to that
point it may be that informal efforts
vii be made by Mr.. Lind to secure
participation by the constitutionalists
leaders in such a plan.
Information. however, Of only the
Vaguest character has ben forthcom-
from officials as to the eventualities
that would follow n possible rejection
Of President Wilson's ideas by the
Huerta government. There is no in
tention at present Of lifting the en-
barge on arms, in fact the preSi-
dent is said to have taken a strong
position against 1t, at least until all
peaceful means of settlement have
been exhausted
There is a confident and conspic-
uous feeling of optimism, among ad-
ministratiOn officials that a peaceful
settlement is in sight, though they
admit the delicacy of the situation
forhids any detailed discussion at
his time Of circumstances on which
their hopes are based.
MEXICO CITY, Aug 15.-Presi-
dent Wilson's message to President
Huerta is now I'm the possession OF
the government which may be expect
ed to reject or to return some answer
shortly. Foreign Minister Gamoa in
the Two conferences he has had with
John Lind came to the conclusion,
with the consent OF President Huerta,
that the simplest way to an end was
to accept the document for President
Huorta and his cabinet and study II.
It would appear now that as the
message has been in the possession
of the Huerta government since
Thursday night and no action con-
cerning 1t has yet been announced,
the government is not disposed sum-
marily to reject it. II is argued by
those who have been Watching the
efforts Of President Wilson to effect
n settlement of Mexico's difficulties
that the longer Mexico delays her
answer, up to a reasonable time, the
more reason there os FOR hope that
President Huerta IL disposed to give
friendly consideration to the docu-
ment
The government remains silent re-
garding the entire matter, but Mr..
Lind this afternoon with tho consent
of Senior Gamboa admitted for the
first time to American newspaper
correspondents that he had held con-
ferences with the Mexican minister
of foreign affairs, adding that they
had been cordial in character.
While neither of the principals will
admit the fact. information has been
obtained that the object of Mr..
Lind's visit to Senior Gamboa late
last night was to deliver President
wilson's note. AS an indication OF
the determination OF Mr.. Lind to so
conduct himself that he cannot he
criticised for talking too much In
unofficial quarters, he today refused
to grant an interview to n group OF
well known politicians. including
number Of members of the chamber
Of deputies. The group belongs TO
what is known as the reform ele-
ment and were close supporters of
the late President Madero. Mr. Lind
told them that until his official mis-
sion was fulfilled he did not desire
to discuss Mexican politics with other
