The Mexican Diplomatic Situation.

The Mexican Diplomatic Situation.
Ii has been reported from Wash
sngton that the administration ap-
pears less optimistic over the MeXl-
can sittation. There is no conceal
ing the fact that a grave diplomatic
crisis is pending, but as aforesaid,
the all powerful influence OF the
United States towards peace may
prove effective against war.
What President Wilson's special
envoy. Governor Lind, has accom-
plishph il properly withheld from
the public at least for the present,
but while Huerta may decline TO
consider fayorably the American
plan Of solution of the Mexican
troubles, it is scarcely belleVaD:e
that Governor Lind would be re-
bufTed: It is not improbable that
Huerta may persist that he can not
treat with the representative OF a
government which has declined to
recognize his authority, which
would become an unWelcOme and an
unpleasant situation, but would not
be such an act as would warrant the
United tSates in a declaration OF
war.
At this time there are two radl-
eally antagonistic bodies in Mexico,
one of which is headed by Huerta,
and the other has for leader Car
rama, the Mexican patriot and revo-
lutionist. CarranZa has great influ-
ence in Mexico, but his means are
j limited in arms for warfare. It is
conceded that if the revolutionis's
could secure the arms and the am
munition they need they would soon
oVerWhelm Huerta and depose him
from his assumed authority.
From the meagre information OBJ
tainable, it is not possible to reach
an intelligent conclusion, but ap-
parently the diplomatic situation
with Mexico is not what it should
! be,but as alreday observed, the
cause of the Gonstitutionalists is
growing in faovr and it will not be
surprising If they should be acceded
d the rights Of belligerents.
