at Vera Cruz before Saturday even
ing.
Secretary Daniels of the navy de-
apartment explained in this connection
that while the battleship New Hamp-
shire could make the trip from Calves
ton to Vera Cruz in 36 hours minimum
time, her ordinary time for the journey
would be about so or so hours, and he
indicated that the administration did
not regard Mr.. Lind's mission as nee
essarily requiring great haste.
WOULD GIVE HUERTA TIME
Some officials saw an advantage in
proceeding slowly, however, so as to
afford the Huerta administration an
opportunity to become more fully ac-
iQuainted with the purposes of Mr..
iLind's visit.
Administration officials take the posi-
tsion that objections to Mr.. Lind's pres
tence In Mexico are unwarranted, as the
general public is not acquainted with
tthe proposals which he carries, nor the
method by which he intends TO submit
Fhem.
On Mr. Lind's arrival these proposals
Will be made public in Mexico City and
washington simultaneously and trans
United from here 10 all the foreign
governments represented In washing
ton.
Further emphasis was laid by admin
istration officials upon the point that
Mr.. Lind as adviser to the American
embassy would occupy no unprecedent-
ed position; that other embassies and
Legations had their counsellors and at
taches.
INFERENCE UNFOUNDED
The inference that he would interfere
h fah
appears had spread throughout Mexico.
was declared without justification. All
his acts, it was said by them, would be
in accord with the proprieties of the
situation; all his dealings with the
Huerta government would be- through
the charge daffaires of the American
embassy at Mexico City. and in all CIR
cumstances Mr.. Lind would act as the
mouthpiece of the washington admin
istration to any one who sought to OBJ
tain the views of President Wilson and
Secretary Bryan on the situation gen.
orally.
Most of the republicans as well as
the democrats of the two congressional
committees on foreign relations have
indicated that they would support the
efforts of President Wilson to bring
about peace in Mexico.
MANY WOULD LIFT EMBARGO
A great many senators, however are
in favor of lifting the embargo on
arms.
Tomorrow the senate foreign rela-
tions committee has q scheduled meet
ing and undoubtedly the situation will
be discussed There is no indication,
however, that there will be an further
Developments as far as the Washing
ton government is concerned until Mr..
Lind arrives in the Mexican capital,
either Sunday night or Monday morn
