Washington, Aug. 2S-This was the Mexican situation in brief, today:
 Huerta has withdrawn his request for an exchange of ambassadors and lasR0ed that the present diplomatic status continue until after Mexican elections in October. By some that was interpreted as a concession
 A request for recognition as the Unconstitutional government ad interim which was accepted with the proposal flor an exchange of ambassadors was, however, interpreted by many offiicals las a practical reiteratiOn of the Orfgi- nal stand of the Huerta government.
 Senor Gamboa, minister of foreign affairs, pointed out that the demand of the United States for the eIiInlina- ltfon of Huerta would be met by a iDrovfsion of the Mexican constitution (which makes a provisional president ineligible to reelection. The Wash i1ngton government, however, desires sassurances more definite.
 John Land, President Wilson's en- gVoys Rs Nauthorized to return to Me1r iico City from Vera Cruz, eff, in hss tIHfscretion, 1t seemed advisable" It is believed here he will go and that negotiations over some of the disputed fsSoIu2s, principally the retirement of fHuerta, may be re-Opened.-
 President Wilson and Secretary Bryan regarded the situation as "en- .courag9ng,'' and indicated that they kexpected some change in the attitude Eberore Congress, yesterday, was di- igested-
 American consular officers through eout Mexico were rounding up Aneri- leans, advising them to leave Mexico tand preparing every means to aid them in doing so.
 Major General Wood, chief of staff tof the army, returned to Washington to take personal charge of any D1iIi- tfary measures to carry out the PreSi- ldentss determination for strict neu- ftrality.

 Senor- Gamboa calls attention to a (which prohibits a provisional Presi- dent from succeeding himself and charges that the United States was lover anxious in thinking that Huerta
 
 There is. in the view of administra- ton officials here, also no guarantee -lthat Huerta does not intend resignine lin favor of General Trevino or sorae tother so that he might become a can ,didate The government officials here ifurther1nore called attention to what Ethey eOnstrue as flat declaration Lthat Huerta intends to be a candidate tconstitutfonal barriers not'withstand- ling They point to the following par
 
 isaying-
 @'The request that General Victorian Huerta should agree not to appear as 8 candidate for the presidency of the republic in the coming election cannot fbe taken into consideration because aside from it's strange and unwarrant- led character, there is a risk that the same might be interpreted as g. mat ter of personal dislike. This point can (l be only decided by Mexican public opinion, when it may be displaced al the polls"
 From that, administration officials fi1ere believe, there is every intention in some way to launch the candidacy of Huerta while the government ma clinery is in possession of some trust ed Heutenants-
 On the other hand, the view is taken that the constitutionalists never would Hay down their arms and those fun oamentaIs. the United States takes the poSlton Lhal IL mas lhe rlBnI to In squire into the legality of the execu- tive who seeks recognition. It is . principal issue of constitutional gov eEpment based on law and order whick the United States believes should bc upheld in Latin-AmericaI and for thi. reason it will continue to insist tha lit can extend recognition only to tconstitutiona1y chosen provisiona iTresident or his legally elected success sor-
