ted were rejected in q note. the full
text OF which take the liberty OF lay
ing before you.
Il am led TO believe that they we're
rejected partly because the authorities
At Mexico City had been grossly mis-
informed and misled upon two points.
They did not realize the spirit OF the
American people in this matter, their
earnest friendllness and yet sober de-
termination that some Just solution be
found for the Mexican difficulties;
and they did not believe that the
present administration spoke through
Mr.. Lind for the people OF the United
States.
The effect Of this unfortunate mis-
understanding on their part Is to leave
them singularIy isolated and without
friends who can effectualIy aid them.
So long as the misunderstanding con-
tinues, We can only await the time OF
their awakening to q realization OF
the actual facts. We cannot thrust
our good offers upon them. The situa-
tion must be given a little time to
work itself out in the new circum-
stances; and I believe that only a lit
tie while will be Necessary. For the
circumstances are new. The rejection
OF our friendship makes them new
and will inevitably bring its own al
terations in the whole aspect Of AZ
fairs. The actual situation OF the aSr
thorities at Mexico City will presently
be revealed
The president concluded.

the great governments Of the world

erous moral support in urging upon
