Garnboa Still Defiant
But Second Note Shows
Hint at Compromise
Administration Officials Still Believe That Way Ou Of DIFF.
culty Will Be Found
United States Stands Firm on Proposition That Huera Must
Not Be Candidate for President
Mexican Officials Published the Full Text Of Proposals Sub
mitted by Lind in Official Organ

Washington Aug. 2S.-John Lind
Cruz to Mexico City after President
Wilson had received a message from
him described as "very optimistic.
While the administration. officials have
not intimated the next move, the way
appeared to open fora further discus
sion of the disputed points in. the
Mexican situation, such as the elimin-
alton of Huerta.
Lind was directed to return TO Mex
leo City if Gin his discretion it seemed
advisable"
After a conference with Bryan and
Senator Bacon of the foreign relations
committee. President Wilson let it be
known that he believed the situation
in Mexico was encouraging, and some
thing tangible would happen soon
The officials declare the United
States will not yield in the demand
that Huerta must not be a candidate
for the presidency. -
In reply to the intimation of Gam
boa that by the constitution Huerta.
cannot be a candidate, the admins.
tration OFFICIALS declare that to apply
that clause Of the constit tuition to
Huerta was a. areccgfaftfS ffiat Huerta
was constitutionally chosen president
slider is contradicted by the irregulari-,
ties at the time Huerta assumed the
office.
y The officials also decalre that there
is no guarantee that Huerta would not
resign in favor of General Trevino or
some other. that he might become a
candidate. %.
The administration, officials see a,
way out of the difficulty If the Mexi-,
can congress. convoked of its own ac-,
cord, should designate a provisional
president who will call an election. d,
Some criticism Is CLEANED by Off
cials here from the withdrawal of the
request that the United States and
Mexico Immediately exchange ambas-.
sadors. Gamboa merely asks now that
the embassy be maintained with the
present staffs but that they recognize
the provisional government. of Mexico
as constitutional. There is said to be
little likelihood Of the acceptance of
this proposal.

LAFOLLEITE
AMENDMENT
DEFEATED

Washington, Aug. 2s.-The democrt-
10 leaders in the senate were able tc
defeat La Follettes amendments to in
crease the tax on large incomes, only
by indicating that they were prepar-
ed to make concession to carry in
creases Several democrats said they
would vote with the party only after
they had been assured that an in
crease would be made for taxes on in
comes of over 100000. La Follette's
amendment. taxed incomes over $780,
600 at 10 per cent.
McCumber's amendment to start the
tax at incomes of $1,000. increasing to
IN per cent on 100000 and over, was
defeated without a roll call, as was a
similar amendment by Poindexter.
The insurgent movement among the
democrats, which threatened to break
party lines on the income tax, was
headed off by the leaders by an agree
ment to levy heavier tax on incomes
from large fortunes.

erico Gamboa. the Mexican secretary
of the state and foreign affairs to
John Lind at Vera Cruz, the night of
Aug. 26 was published here.
The Gamboa note was in answer
to one in which the United States
said that IL the election under MeNi-
cos constitution with Huerta eliminat-
ed as candidate and promises for tax
ing up the other propositions present
ed by wilson were speedily given,
President Wilson would express TO
American bankers and associates as
surances that the government of the
United States would look with favor
upon the extension of an immediate
loan of sufficient amount to meet the
temporary requirements, OF the Mexl-
can administration.
In connection with the loan PROPOSE
ton Gamboa in the note begs to be
excused from direct reply for the
time being, other than to say that this
suggestion appears 10 be an attractive
antecedent proposal to the end that,
moved by petty interests, Mexico
should renounce right which incon-
troNertibly upholds the country at a
time when the dignity of the nation

In another part of his lengthy note,
referring to the insistence of President
Wilson that Huerta bind himself not
to be candidate at the October cleo
ton. Gamboa quotes from the, consti-
tutional articles of Mexico that a Sec
retary of state in charge of executive
power shall not hold eligible to Office
either the president or the vice presi-
dent when the elections arc hold This
provision, Gamboa intimates,, prevents
Huerta from being a candidate.
All the documents connected with
Lind's mission were published today in
the official government organ in their
proper chronological order.
Among the documents was Lind's
strong note to Gamboa to which the
above is Gamboa's answer. The Lind
note, in addition to mentioning the
loan feature, states that the president
of the United States regards the ques-
ton Of the recognition OF the de facto
government and any future govern
ment of Mexico, wholly for the United
States to determine.

Tart Reply
to Lind's Proposals

The text Of Senior Gamboas reply.
to Lind's proposals follows:
Duly authorized by the president of
the republic, pursuant to the unani-
nous approval of the cabinet, which
was convened for the purpose, have
the honor to make a detailed reply to
such instructions.
"The government Of Mexico has
paid due attention to the advice and
considerations expressed by the gov
ernment of the United States; and
has done this on account of three
principal reasons:
First - Because, as stated before.
Mexico entertains the highest respect
for the personality of his excellency,
Woodrow Wilson.
Regard for Wilson.
Second - Because certain European
and American governments, with
which Mexico cultivates the closest
relation of international amity, hav-
ing in most delicate, respectful way,
highly gratifying to us, made use of
their good offices to the end that
Mexico should accord you a hearing,

Ricardo HuertaJ is -26 years old. He
is not only a diplomat but a tried,
tested and successful one.' He is Mex
ico's consul general at New York City,

tive. of the Mexican diplomatic and
consular, services in this country, in
asmuch as there is no ambassador at

Although he was born in Mexico
City and bear the same name as the
president of Mexico. he is no relation
to President Huerta. His family is

part of the republic. the greater part
Of their wealth being in lands-which
are stable-and in cattle, which have
suffered somewhat by the necessities
of both the federals and the rebels
in the three recent Instructions in
Mexico. BY profession he is a law
yer. For some time he served his
country in Honduras and other South
American countries. Then he was
made secretary of the legation at
Washington, when Manuel Calero
was ambassador
Huerta could speak no English
when he reached Washington, but
has always had : remarkable prof.
cheney in acquiring languages. About
as soon as he became adept in the
tongue Calero resigned as ambassa-
dor, thereby contributing materially
to Madero's downfall. The young
secretary was left in charge of af-
fairs, and so well conducted himself
that upon opportunity arriving, he
was advanced to the most important
consular post of Mexico in the United
States. He is a bachelor and an ad-
mirer of American feminine beauty.
