BULLETIN.
Washington, Aug. 9.-After a
conference with President Wilson
at the White House, Secretary
Bryan announced he had received
the message from Manual Cara
AdaIpe, acting minister of for
eign affairs, declaring on behalf
of President Huerta that the pres
ence of John Lind would be unde-
sirabIe in Mexico unless he
brought recognition Of the Huerta
government. Notwithstanding the
unfavorable attitude. the admin
istration here intends to follow
out his program Of peace toward
Mexico to the letter. Receipt Of
this message brought the situa-
ton to a diplomatic crisis.
Mexico City. Aug. 9--PresidcLt HUI
erta's prestige among Mexicans in
the capital undoubtedly has been
strengthened by what is regarded as
I his dctiat Of the United States.
Even those who had been lnkewarm
In their support Of the administration
profess admiration for the soldier
president who dared to talk back to
Washington. although not all of them
agree as to the wisdom of his course
and many of them consider. that he
acted precipitately in view of the of.
ficia]ly defined intentions of Washing
ton.
Course Is Speculative.
Just what course President Huerta
will take in the event that John Lind
President Wilson's personal represent
tative, continues his trip to Mexico
City is matter for speculation. No
official declaration has been made as
yet as to what this course will be.
1T is assumed that Mr.. Lind might
enter the republic at Vera Cruz and
come to the capital wit hout molesta.

fla's could not he expected to be an
ewcred until his arrival here, but
whether he shall be expelled or mere.
ly ignored remains undetermined, -
Keen interest is being evinced as

ed as to whether Mr.. Lind will be re.
called or permitted to continue as far
as he can and thus force the issue

Lind May Be Ignored.
Mexlcans. generally of the better
class, appear to believe that IIuerta
will not drive Mr.. Lind from the
country, but will be content with ig.
morning him, except perhaps. for sub
1ectlng him to surveillance in order to
see that he does nothing possible of [

Unless a radical change is effected |
in the sentiment at the palace Mr..
Lind will not be given an opportunity
TO talk with President EIuerta even if
he is permitted to remain in the car
1tal, nor will he be successful in meet
Ing any official of the government.
Washington Realizes Gravity.
WaShingtOn.-The American govern
ment is confronted with what official
considers the most delicate
in it's relations with Mexico.
which has developed since armed revo-
luton disturbed the peace of the SOUTH
ern republic.
The threatened rebuff from the
Huerta administration to the mission
OF John Lind, personal representative
OF President Wilson, enroute to
City to expound the hopes of
the United States for suspension of
hostlitIes and an orderly. constitution,
al election in Mexico, drew from Sen
htor Bacon, chairman of the foreign
relations committee, declaration on
the moor OF the senate that the pres.
ent situation was the gravest in years.

the Cuban question was here"

The president realizes the gravity
Df the situation and manifested dur.
ng the day his displeasure at some
d the minority members in congress-
telling congress that he believed GER
ain Republicans would make it diff.

peaceful manner. On this account
Mr. Wilson justified last night the
strong and emphatic language of Sen.
ltor Bacon, who, during a debate in {
he senate on the resolution of Sem ,
tor Clark of Wyoming, Republican,
general investigation of {
Mexican affairs, had referred to the {
esolution as Openly disrespectful,'

The resolution was finally forced off

President Wilson was unmoved nv t
