occurring TO justify the gloomy pre-
dictions that had been made.
AS a manifestation of confidence in
the encouragement for Huerta. the
whole affair fell fat The "visas" that
marked the triumphal entry of Fran
cisco /. Madero after he had crushed
Porfirio Diaz were completely lack
ing.
During the entire parade there was
no evidence of anti-American feeling

warned that the relations between

were too unsettled to permit any out
break at the present time.

City Of Mexico, Aug. 11.-Replying
to the second note forwarded by Secre-

are absolutely without foundation.
Mr.. Lind, like any foreigner, may
pass through the country freely with
out being subject to any molestation.
American citizens. like other for
eigners, have enjoyed and will con-
tinue to enjoy the most complete
guarantees on the part of the Mexi-
can government and people. All are

case of Mr.. Lind will not modify our
intentions and presidents.

there likewise is no foundation.
Respecting mediation of which

ment of Mexico already has made it's
declarations"
