pressed in the Huerta note replying to
the proposals communicated by Mr..
Lind. President Wilson in all probabil.
V will not read his message TO both
houses of congress on Tuesday. as he
intended.
TO prevent the house from adiourning
until Tuesday. 1t had been supposed
that he would read the message on Mon.
day and would ask the leaders in con
gress TO arrange joint session.
Huerta Given Time.
Failure 10 send anv word 70 the
leaders was interpreted in official cir.
cles as meaning that the United States
had practically given the Huerta gov
ernment unlIl Tuesday to make up its
mind finally as TO what it would do.
II is positively reiterated that the
United States will continue TO insist on
the resignation OF Provisional President
Huerta, or an announcement of his in
tention to do so. as we'll as his elimina
tion from the presidential race in the
subsequent election.
President Wilson spent the day in
studying the notes exchanged by Lind
and Hucrta. and preparing his message.
White house officials announced that
no copies OF the document would be
DISTRIBUTED in advance TO the press, as
has been the custom for years, as II
was desired to keep the document
abreast OF developments 20 the last
minute. The message may be modified
by dispatches received Tuesday and
there also is the possibility that the
president may find il expedient to
postpone delivery of the document.
DIPLOMATIC Pressure.
Reports from Mr., Lind declare that
mis- relations with the Huerta officials
are more cordial than before and that
they manifest willingness to find
some new ground for a settlement.
European diplomatic pressure, n is
known mere. is quietly at work in Mexi
CO City in an effort to convince Huer-
IA officials that the policy of the
United States is being ahproved abroad.
The failure Of the Huerta government
to obtain funds abroad, through the
failure of the recognition Of the United
States, is pointed to by the diplomats
as likely to continue pending a more
respectful consideration of the Ameri-
can proposals 1t is learned also from
government is facing a mutinous army,
because no pay has been
forthcoming for weeks
Optimism Apparent.
II was apparent tonight that Wash
ington officials expected word from
Huerta before Tuesday, and unless 1t
comes the notes will be proclaimed TO
the world through the president s mes
sage showing the efforts Of the Ameri
can government TO bring about peace
along with suggestions for a definite
ue OF procedure by the United States
in the future.
White house officials, however, were
confident that the situation would un-
-avel itself. They would not disclose
ipon what their optimism was based,
Dut il is believed that reports from
Mr.. Lind were largely responsible for
he confident feeling.
