UNITED STATES
Developments in The Situa-

Manuel de Zanacona y
Inclain, Who Will Enter
Negotiations to Bring
About Peace.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Sept. Developments
In the Mexican situation await the ar
rival in Washington of Manuel de Ia
nacona Y Inclan, the personal repre-
sentative Of the Huerta government.
He will continue with the United
States the negotiations begun in Mex
leo by John Lind. .
Administration officials tonight had
not decided whether to accept de Ia
nacona's overtures unless he brought
positive assurance of Huerta's elimi-
nation from the presidential race.
The disposition here is to receive the
Mexican envoy in view of the courtesy
shown Lind. The envoy in the past
was the Mexican financial agent and
his mission here is said to contem-
plate, not only peace terms. but Itoat-
ing any loan that the United States
would encourage.
The envoy's departure from Vera
Cruz yesterday took Washington by
surprise. The note the United States
has been considering preparing in an
swer to the last communication from
Gamboa may be handed TO the envoy
instead of being dispatched to Lind.
The administration here was sound
ed out as to the mission of Senior "a
nacona but had not given answer when
yesterd day. There seemed DO be little
doubt today in official circles that the
Washington administration would re-
ceive Senior Zanacona under certain
conditions, as he IS well known here
and regarded as one Of the ablest Of
Mexicans.
Senior zanacona's affiliations, how
ever, have been with the financial in
stead Of the diplomatic side Of the
Mexican government. Some of the
constitutionalists in Washington look
upon him as the agent of the Glen
tifico'' or financial group. that for a
long time ruled dexico's affairs.
AS he has been so little a partici
pant in Mexican pc'itics because Of
his long absence abroad, others are
inclined to regard him as Of a non
partisan disposition
His coming produced an optimistic
effect in official circles. The offer Of
announcement for a. loan TO Mexico
had been conditioned on acceptance of
