Not Unlikely He Will be
Received by President
Huerta.
POSITION MADE PLAIN
Foreign Powers Indicating They
Are in Sympathy With the
United States Program.

Washington, Aug. 13.-Dispatches to-
day received by the state department
from John Lind describe his visit to
FREDERICK Gamboa, Mexican minister
of foreign relations. While officials
declined to discuss the dispatches, it
is understood the conversation extend
ed beyond the mere formalities of
social call. Lind said he set at rest
rumors that he was coming to inter-
fere directly in Mexican politics. The
general understanding in official circles
is that Lind intimated the United
States would continue to oppose rec
ognition until a constitutional elec-
ton is held.
News from Mexico City that Lind
relation by personal meeting,
brought encouragement to administra.
tion officials here. 1t was felt by them
that the first step in the program
of the American government to throw
its influence in the direction of a
quiet and peaceful settlement of the
revolutionary troubles had succeeded.
The incident, however, 1t was learn.
ed from official sources, will not change
the procedure previously outlined to
Mr.. Lind before he left Washington.
He will submit all his representations
to Charge O'Shaughnessy, who will
transmit them in accordance with dip.
lomatic proprieties to the Mexican min,
lister of foreign relations.
LIND wILLssFoT1srBEEfS.
While there is nothing in Mr.. Lind's
instructions which would prevent him
from calling on provisional President
Huerta. it is not regarded possible
that he will do so unless the latter
indicated his desire to receive the un-
official envoy.
Certain instrumental aspects of the
situation here added interest to Mr.
Lind's mission in Mexico. 1t became
known that Japan, which hitherto rec
ognized the Huerta government, had
practically decided not to receive Gen.
eral Felix Diag, special ambassador
to express thanks for the participa-
ton by Japan in Mexico's centennial
a few years agt.
POWERS CHANGE STAND.
Likewise the statement of the Brit
ish government explaining that 1t, as
we'll as Germany and France, had rec
ognized the Huerta government after
Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson had
made the congratulatory speech to
President Huerta. encouraged adminis-
tration officials to believe that foreign
powers would give their moral support
to President Wilson In his efforts to
influence the restoration of peace in
Mexico.
The administration has decided to
keep foreign governments fully in
formed as to various steps taken. 1t
is not considered likely that the note
expressing the views of the United
|, States government will be presented
! for several days, either to the Huerta
. government or to foreign nations.
