Lind Sends Message.
A dispatch from John Lind inform
| ed President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan that he had been in conference
| with Provisional President Huerta. He
| characterized his reception and con-
| ference with Huerta as cordial
Dispatches attributing the announce
ment Of an ultimatum by Huerta to
Minister Urrutia, Of the department of
the interior, aroused official circles
here
Secretary Bryan, an early riser, read
the morning newspapers and hurried
to his Office, where he found the reas-
surfing cable from Charge O'Shaughnes-
sy, and then hurried over to the
White House to confer with President
Wilson. While there the message came
from Mr.. Lind, telling of the confer
ence with Huerta.
Senate Committee Alarmed.
Members of the senate foreign rela-
| tons committee, alarmed by the ap-
parent gravity Of the situation, hasten
ed to the White House to ask for
conference with the president There
seemed to be q division of opinion as
to whether Minister Urrutia's an
| nouncement was unauthorized. Some
were inclined to accept that explana-
ton as given by Foreign Minister
Gamboa.
Charge O'Shaughnessys dispatch.
backed up by MIR. Linds, served to dis
pei the impression the first news dis
patches had made and the official
views changed to general belief that
while the situation was delicate one,
there was hope of satisfactory con-
clusion, as long as conferences were
continuing between Huerta and Lind.
It was generally understood that while
the negotiations still were in prog
ress the Mexican governments request
that publication Of President Wilson's
views as presented by Lind be with
held from publication would be re-
spected and that they might not be
given out today.
See O'Shaughnessy Message.
Senators Lodge and Stone were
shown the following cablegram to Sec
rotary Bryan from Charge OShaugh-
messy:
1.-THE correspondents have cabled
| that the Mexican government has stat
| ed that it's note to Lind demands that
| the United States recognize the Huer-
| ia government before II o'clock mid
| night, or statement practically to
| that effect.
Il brought the matter to the urgent
| attention of the minister of foreign
| affairs. He Immediately saw the pres
ident, and Senior Urrutia, who is sup
| posed to have given out the statement
and authorized me to deny this state
| ment to my government as having no
| foundation in fact"
Huerta Cordial, Says Lind.
The senators were shown also a dis
| patch from Mr.. Lind, in which he said:
Spent two hours with Huerta at his
suggestion Very cordial" The mes
sage was received at 2:10 a. NJ.
| The senators conferred briefly with
| President Wilson. They left the White
House satisfied that the alarming re-
ports were not justified. They still
we're hopeful that Mr.. Lind's efforts to
| bring about an amicable understand
| ing would be successful.
| Both senators were acquainted with
the contents of Huerta's note to the
| American government cabled by
| Charge 'Shaughnessy to the state de-
partment. Although the tone OF the
| note is scornful in it's rejection of the
| American suggestions, nothing in it re-
lated to an ultimatum or q demand for
| recognition.
Lind Sees Hucrta.
| Mexico, Aug. 20.-Face to face in
| conference during the night former
| Gov. John Lind, special envoy of Pres
ident Wilson, an. :, President Huerta
are believed to have reached an under
standing which may prevent the break
| Ing of of relations between the United
| States and Mexico and serve to con-
tinue negotiations in which Washing
| ton may play the role OF mediator.
Neither at the national palace nor at
| The American embassy were any de-
! tails of the conference given out, but
| il is known the meeting was cordial
| and that Mr.. Lind considered the So
| called ultimatum, announced through
/ DR.. Aureliano Urrutia, minister OF the
| interior, as unauthorized. The alleged
| ultimatum was to the effect that the
| United States would be given until
midnight to agree to recognition of the
Huerta administration under threat
| of severiGg all relations.
