 Huerta Together.

New York, July 25.-Henry Lane Wilson, ambassador to Mexico, arriv- ed here today on the Ward Liner Mexico and as no reply to his wire less request for instructions had been received from the State Department. he said he would stay at the Wal dorf until a telegram from Washing ton arrived.
 When the reporters boarded the steamer in Quarantine. Mr. Wilson said that he would answer all ques- tions that the regulations of the diplo- sWer, and the first question put was whether the State Department was to blame for not recognizing the Huerta government earlier.
 That I cannot answer" he said.
 He was told that several construc- tions had been placed on the telegram he sent to the American consul in Mexico, telling them to urge general submission and adhesion ,to-tre 1Huer ta government.
 q stand pat on that,' he replied. "1t has been the custom for more than 100 years for American eonsuls to recogpize"a defacto government The many xaIggerated reports that have been received in the United States have been inspired by people who, for their own personal sggain. wanted the American government to intervene. 1 believe that if the Huerta administration does not stand, an archy of the worst kind will prevail General Carranza does not stand out as a big figure in Mexico or as the coming president. He is nothing more or less than a king of bandits. There are million bandits in Mexico. Men have proved it easier to take other peoples property in Mexico than to work"
 Ambassador Wilson was told that an American lumberman, who arriv- ed from the Mexican interior week ago, has reported that the rebels were within 12O miles of Mexico City and that Haciendas had been burned and men and women killed.
 There are no rebels within 300 miles of Mexico City," he replied. "There may be a few bandits, but the lumbermans report that 700 armed rebels burned Haciendas and mur- dered people is untrue. Mexico is the home of natural born liars, no mat ter what their nationality may be. There is no trouble in Mexico City or in the State of Mexico.
 "While the Mexican political situa- tion is bad, it is not as bad as it has been represented to be. The economic conditions, however, are very bad"
 The Ambassador was informed that Mrs. Madero, widow of Mexico's last president had accused him of being instrumental in causing the assassina- tion of her husband.
 "I don't want to bother with Mrs. Madero," he replied. "Her statements are all made for political effect. The State Department knows the inside of the Madero death. Mrs. Madero's ut terances are nothing but politics. She caused to be published letters over my signature that I-never fwrote. If I had not brought Diaz and Huerta to- gether, the City of Mexico might have been in flames"
 MT. Wilson characterized the med iation plan of President Wilson as "rot." The proposal for a tri-partite commission, made up of representa- tives of the United States and the two North American republics to bring about peace, MT. Wilson added was not feasible.
