| it remains as it has been heretofore IN
| til the elections of October should take
place; but I will always stand Oh the
unavoidable condition which declares
| that we are in reality the ad interim
! constitutional government of the Mex
can republic,
n FlOWery Close.
In my turn. Mr.. Confidential Agent,
I beg again to repeat to you the pleas
ing impression which you leave with
me as a citizen Of the United States Il
of America as an able, righteous and
well intentiOned personal representative
Of his excellency, Mr.. Woodrow Wilson;
1 esteem greatly the gratitude which
you say you profess for the well de-
served treatment which you have re-
ceived in Mexico at the hands of the
ad interim constitutional president of
the republic, from private individuals
and myself. and I reiterate to you as
in my previous note, my perfect con-
sideratiOn."
GambOa Makes Statement.
without comment Federico Gamboa,
minister of foreign affairs, presented
70 the standing committee of the Mex
lean congress last night all the facts In
the controversy between Mexico and
the United States
Senior Gamboa insisted that the ne
gOtiatiOns are not entirely concluded
but should they be. said soon the en-
tire affair will be regarded as a closed
incident
The congressman freely commended
the action Or the Mexican government
aud that snail rOrtion of the public
which is cOgnizant Of the character Of
that action was loud in its praise of
what is characterized as the patriotic
and dignifed attitude of the administra-
ton.
GambOa's Comment.
"Since the strained relations exist
ing between Mexico and the United
States began" senior GambOa says in
this article in Diario, the ad in
term government, with a full under
;standing of the obligations and re-
sponsibiIities purpOsed with the great
est possible spirit OF Cancellation to
preserve national decorum. which was
in great danger Of suffering a serious
and transcendental affrOnt, had an
other line of conduct been adopted from
that which was taken under the pres
ent circumstances. The strictly secret I
character of the negotiations decided
the government upon Withholding the |
publication of the whole of the cor
respOndence exchanged between chan |
cellOries.
In view Of the fact that the presi--
dent OF the United States has already |
submitted the case to congress, the /
constitutional ad interim government |
believes it to be its duty, through the |
official organ, to inform all the in /
habitants of the republic of the state /
of these delicate negotiations.
Many Mexicans believe that the only 4
bar to the. acceptance of the PROPOSE !
tons in the second note was the in /
sistence that president Huerta elimiu- J
ate himself from the electoral contest
Their point is that this was impossible /
tcr him to do since he is a Mexican I
citizen If there have been other ne
gotiations, II is especially certain that /
they cannot be satisfactorily concluded /
II this demand of the United States be
insisted upon"
Mexican Officials silent.
The Mexican government is silent on
the message which the president Of the
United States read before congress
yesterday.
Gen. HUerta has gone to PopoIa, a
suburb, where he is experimenting the
erection of a dwelling.
MexicO's counter-poIicy has been
well understood for several days and
OFFICIALS join in asserting that the
attitude of the United States Will cause
no change in the stand Mexico has tax
en-.
Huerta to Hold On.
A cabinet minister says that Gen.
duerta was determined not to quit Of
lice and the summOning to the capital
IF Gen. Trevino has nothing to do with I
me change in the presidency. Huerta !
appears to believe that the pacification | /
If the country can yet be accomplished !
y him.
As a proof Of the progress already / !
made in this direction, the department |
# war refers to the reports of federal / I
,1ctories in various parts of the reDub- j
ic and characterizes the stories of 9
'ebel successes as falsehOods.
Think Loan Probable.
The minister of finance processes
aith in the happy outcome of the ne q
rotations with London or European {
'ankers in an endeavOr to obtain 90
100000 pesos but it is stated general !
y that even should the loan fail, there i
emains as last resort the possibility :
4 raising money in Mexico through in 7
reased taxes, paid in advance. This n
ian has been seriously discussed. +
In any case the Mexican government
eHeYes it can get money in some man s
er TO carry on its campaign. Ilt
So far as the protection of forefgners
3 concerned. Mexico takes the position r
nat she will do all in her power to | Il
uarantee this. The refusal of the S
nlted States to permit arms and am =
lunition to reach the Mexican govern
lent through American sources will n
OF be such a serious handicap to Gen | I,
-uerta, as he has already begun the 4
urchase Of supplies from Japan and 5
as long been receiving consi gnments h
rom Germany and S. l.
