ability that a reply VIII be made to For

The information which Mr. Lind has
collected Is calculated to convince him
that General Huerta Is making but little
if any real progress towards the general
restora ton OF peace and that there is a
growing unrest In the CAPITAL itself. Con-
Sress Will convene September Is, and the
opinion most commonly expressed to the
envoy is that General Huerta will recon-
mend In his presidential message q post

In the constitution which provides that
no elections shall be held In case of a too
disturbed state Of the country.
According to reports reaching official
quarters here the aGhercnts OF Zapa ia

WAY OUT OF TROUBLE

PARIS. Sept, s.-The Temps this morn
ing, in It's leading article reviewing the
Mexican situation, concludes:
''The simplest way out Of the perplexi-
ties into which the United states has been
thrown by a false move would be to con-
fine herself to attitude of eXpectant
neutrality. at least until the presidential
election in October The manifested wishes

larly expressed will then Indicate TO the
United States a line of conduct better
defined than Is possible by the attitude
OF suspicious opposition which American
diplomacy is adopting at the present time
towards General Huerta.

vincial Huerta government while wait

and IN accordance with the expressed
wishes OF all the foreign colonies in MeXi-
co. The least untrustworthy opinion In
Mexico Is that Huerta Is capable OF re-
establishing peace. and that the work of
pacification is making undenia BILE pro-
sress despite countless difficulties The
attitude OF the United States. In which
the revolutionists find encouragement. Is
certainly not the smallest of these"
