STRONG PRESSURE
NOW ON HUERTA
England, France andJapan Back

MEXICO LIKELY TO YIELD.
Proposal To Send Envoy From
Mexico To Washington Re-
sarded AS Diliatory
Move.

Washington.-Great Britain, France
and Japan are among the nations
which have interposed their influence
upon the Huerta administration in
Mexico in support OF the efforts Of
the Unit states to bring about a
ba5 a9s AN XIII "
While ADMINISTRATION oflicials are
silent regarding this phase OF the
situation, there Is a lively interest
manifest in diplomatic circles here as
to the probable effect of foreign pres
sure on the Huerta government.
Funds Getting Low.
The fact that diplomats from some
of the very countries which not only
have formally recognized Huerta, but
whose bankers hitherto have fioated
loans for him, are using their influence
on the Mexican administration, is cal
culated to produce something definite
shortly. Official reports to the State
Department show the Huerta regime
to be in desperate financial straits,
with little prospect OF getting funds
anywhere to meet the running ex-
penses of the government or pay its
troops, already restive because of de-
ferred payments.
The insistence of the United States
on a constitutional election and the
elimination OF Huerta was reiterated
positively by administration officials
"a position which Mr. Lind has been
instructed to emphasize.
The sending of special envoy from
Mexico to Washington further to dis
cuss the situation with President viii.
son is regarded here as dilatory
move. 1t is known that the Washing
ton government has made it clear that
such procedure would not alter the
views expressed in its first note. 1t is
believed, however, that the Huerta
officials now have abandoned the idea
of sending an envoy and are seeking
to develop q new basis for negotia-
ton.

1t is intended that the President

and that the enthusiasm shall not be
permitted to wane during the course
of his reading of the message Con-
gressmen generally, without regard to

dent that his efforts for peace have
the support of the national Legisla-

these efforts will be intended as an
emphatic answer to the intimations of
President Huerta that he was satisfied
from advices received by him from
Washington that President Wilson's
Mexican policy, and particularly his
refusal to recognize the Huerta gov
ernment, was not popular either in
Congress or among the people.
Foreign Pressure On Mexico.
European diplomatic pressure, 1t is
known here, is quietly at work in
Mexico City in an effort to convince
Huerta officials that the policy of the
United States is being approved
abroad. The failure of the Huerta
government to obtain funds in Europe
through the non-recognition of the
United States is pointed to by the
diplomats as likely to continue pend
ing a more respectful consideration OF
the American proposals.

Five Sticks of Explosives Found
Under His Window.

Discovery Was Made BY Citizen
Passing Through New
York's City Hall
Park.

New York.-A deadly charge of
dynamite-three whole 10-inch sticks
and two halves with fuse and detona-

The bureau of combustibles found that
the explosive was 40 per cent. dyna-
mite, the regulation blasting proper
tion, and the amount found would, if
exploded, have wrecked the City Hall.
The Mayor was in his office when
the dynamite was discovered by citi-
zen passing through City Hall Park.
Mr. Gaynor eyinced little interest when
told of the explosives proximity, and
remained apparently undisturbed at
his desk while police officers hurriedly
drew Gordon about the dynamite to
keep back an excited crowd.
Mr.. Gaynor frequently receives
threatening letters, but he would make
no statement regarding the possible
connection between any previous
threat by mail and the dynamite. It
is Just three years ago this month that
he was shot in the neck by a so-calied

The investigators do not attach
much Importance to the finding of half
burned matches and partly consumed
cigar near the explosive. Hundreds Of
smokers pass the areaway during the

sionally throw dead matches and cigar
butts there.

Washington.-An agricultural cur
rency amendment to the administTa-

House Democratic caucus. After sew
eral preliminary skirmishes, in which
other amendments were beaten, the
caucus, without a dissenting vote,
adopted an amendment, sponsored
both by the insurgent contingent and
the Banking and Currency Committee,
to put paper based on agricultural
products on the same basis as COM
mercial paper for banking purposes.
1t also would extend the maturity of
notes and bills admitted to discount
under the amendment to 80 days, in
stead of the originally proposed 45
days. This action disposed of the last
of the big controversial issues in the
administration currency bill
The amendment. the result of many
conferences and concurred in by ad-
mlnistration leaders and those unsuc-
cessfully seeking other amendments,
reads:
Upon the Endorsement of any mem

may discount notes and bills of ex-

cultural, Industrial or commercial pur-

purposes, the federal reserve board to
