Americans whereas there were sixty thousand several years ago In Mex ico City it is estimated there are less than 1000 Americans today. The dip lomatic relations between the two countries it is understood will remain. retaining an embassy without official recognition, presided over by a charge q af1aires
 Way Open for Future Negotiations Though the president made it plain in his statement that all negotiations thus far have come to naught, and the message of Foreign Minister Gamboa, rejecting for the Hszerta government the American proposals, left no room for doubt as to the situation, the way is open for future negotiations either at the initiative of Mexico or the Uni ted States Meanwhile Nelson o. Shaughnessy probably will remain in Mexico City in charge of the Ameri- can embassy. John Lind, the presi- dents personal representative, still is in Vera Cruz and probably will remain there as long as there is any possible chance for renewal of negotiations
 In his message which was in the na- ture of an appeal to the moral forces of this and foreign nations, the pres ident made it clear that he based high hope upon the effect the announcement of this governments policy will have upon, not only the people of this coun- try and the governments of other na- uons, but upon the people of Mexico themselves. Now that the United States has exhausted the effort to bring about peace and a stable Mexican govern ment, ethe president believes that this governments example to the world will avail great good in the end.
 ''The steady pressure of moral force," he said, will before many days break the barriers of pride and prejudice down, and we shall triumph as Mexi- co.'s friends sooner than we could tri- urnph as her enernies-and how much more handsomely, with. how much higher and finer satisfactions of con- science and of honor"
 Mexico's Reply to Proposals.
 The president told congress that everything this nation did in the sit uation confronting it must be rooted in patience and done with calm. dis interested deliberation." He had no word of rebuke for Mexico and reached the determination to maintain strict neutrality after having presented the whole situation to the members of the foreign relations committee in congress-. Not an essential detail did the presi- dent withhold in his presentation of the case for the public, publishing also to the world the reply of the Mexican government to MT. Lind. in which Sem or Gamboa refers to the American proposals as ''humfliatfng," denies the representation by President Wilson that Mexico had not made progress to- ward peace, and though expressing appreciation of the avowed friendly in- tent of the United States declared that If such good offices are to be of the character of those now rendered us, we should have to decline them in the most categorical and definite manner"
 Everything that Mexico had said, to this government in response to the proposals was made public, including the HueFta alternative that nothing could be welcomed except unrestricted recognition of his government, After he had concluded his message and listened to the applause which greeted it, the president turned toward the White House te await it's effect He believes it will be beneficial.
