After giving in full Mr.. Lind's orig
inal instructions and Senor Gamboa
reply of August Is, the government
organ publishes Mr.. Lind's second
note of August %. which follows, II
part:
Mr.. Minister: The president of the
United States of America has not dl
rected me to answer the observations
contained in your note of August 1f
and inasmuch as they are not by me
deemed pertinent to the suggestions
contained in my instructions communl
Gated to you, l refrain from discussing
them AS to the course of action sllg
gested by you to be taken by the Uni
ted States, may say that the presi-
dent of the United States regards the
question of recognition of the de facto
government and of any future govern
ment in Mexico as one wholly for the
United States to determine. In the
exercise of it's sovereign rights in this
behalf the United States will not hesi-
tate to suggest the adoption by the
de facto government of Mexico seek
ing recognition. especially at time
of serious domestic disturbances, or
such course of action as in the judg-
n.ent of the United States can alone
lead to recognition in the future.
In that spirit and in the spirit
voiced in the original instructions, the
president of the United States of
America authorizes me to submit for
the consideration of the de facto gov
ernment in Mexico.
"1-That the election called for
October 26, 1913, shall be held in a,
cordance with the constitutional laws
of Mexico
"2.-That President Huerta, in the
manner originally indicated by the
president of the United States OF
America, give the assurances called
for in paragraph &C. of my original
instructions.
"3-That the remaining propositions
contained in my original instructions
shall be taken up later but speedily
and resolved as circumstances permit
in the spirit of their proposal.
THE president of the United States
of America further authorizes me to
say that if the de facto government
OF Mexico at once acts favorably on
the foregoing suggestions then IN that
event the president will express to
American bankers and their associates
that the government of the United
States of America. will look with fav
or on the extension of an immediate
lean, sufficient in amount to meet the
temporary requirements of the de
facto government of Mexico"
In his reply, Gamboa points out, al.
though Lind says he received no in
structions from the president of the
United States, yet in the name of that
same president, you submit to the con-
sideration of my government three
propositions.
He refers to Lind's statement that
if the foregoing propositions are ac
cepted promptly, "the president of the
United States has authorized YOU 10
say that he will express to American
bankers assurances that your govern
ment then will look with favor on an
extension for an immediate loan suffi.
cient to meet temporary requirements
of the present Mexican situation.
Answering this, Gamboa begs to be
excused from direct reply for the time
being, other than to say this sugges
ton appears to be an attractive ante
cedent prosopal to the end that, NOV
ed by petty interests. Mexico should

Referring to the insistence of Presi-
dent Wilson that Huerta bind himself
not to be candidate for election for
president at the October elections,
