Is It Another Wilson-Bryan
Blunder in Mexican Situation?

Mexico City, Aug. Increased an
tagonism has been aroused among
Mexicans toward President Wilson's
plan fer the paeification OF the fepub-
lie by the latest news from Washlns-
ton that the object OF .lohn Linz WISH

prominent Mexicans and advise them
that the only basis on when Mexico
will be recognized by the United states

perhaps by making the direct susges-
ton that he resign, were received WIN

Mexican. today, that in the former

suggestion was actually put lo' We"
by MIR. Lind, but that in the second
case tie government would be justified
in eharacterizing him as one who was
MEETING Mexicans along lines of sedi-
ton in applying the pernicions for
eign expulsion clause of the Constitu-
ton. This Mexican also indicated that
since Mr. Lind was coming to Mexico
in an official capacity and with no ere
dentials he could not expect more con-
sideration or immunity than an ordi-
nary foreigner would receive.
Mexicaus familiar with international
law are reluctant to believe that Mr.
Lind's instructions are for him to deal
with others than the authorized OFF,
Gals of the de facto government. These
officials are still firm in their assertion
that nc suggestions whatever involving
the best that Mr.. Lind can hope for in
this respect is to be ignored. However
the anti-Huerta element, which is not
prominently in evidence in the cap
ital is skeptical regarding the firm
stand assumed by the administration.

following telegram to the American
legation, tonight;
