The next development in the situation
is expected when Mr.. Lind. thru
Charge O'Shaughnessy. presents to
Provisional President Huerta Presl-
dent wilson's proposals to bring about
peace.
These will be published simultane-
ously in Washington and Mexico City
and at the same time will be trans
United AZ q matter Of information to
the powers Of the world.
Whether Mr.. Lind's presence In
Mexico will be, undesirable" as has
been stated by the Mexican minister
Of foreign affairs. will then actually
become known. Officials here are re-
luctant to express what Huerta's atti-
tude will be after he officially knows
the purpose Of Mr.. Lind's visit. They
take the view that hostility has been
aroused by misintrepretation OF the
purpose of the mission.
Ships Speed PurPossIy lssssnsd.
Tho there ie no official confirmation
Of the st& &tement, it IL said the passage
81 the New Hampshire has been slow
one purposely to give the Mexican
government time to digest the situ-
alton. The big ship could have made
the passage In twenty-six hours and
reached Vera Cruz Friday afternoon
There are naturally some physical con-
ditions which will delay Mr.. Lind's ar
rival in Mexico City today until Nom
day.
because Of her heavy draught the
New Hampshire will be obliged to
anchor nvs or six miles OF Vera Cruz,
,ands aayysofficials doubt II any effort
wfI - made to land tho envoy today.
The trip from Vera Cruz up to Mexico
City ordinarily takes twelve hours.
Before Mr.. Lind arrives Charge
O,Shaughnessy is expected to explain
to the Mexican foreign office that Mr..
Lind comes only as an advisor to the
embassy, not to take part in Mexican
politics. and on thoroughly peaceful
mission.
DO Not Fear Molsstation.
The administration IL confident that
when Huerta understands the facts
there will be no obstruction to Cover
nor Lind's mission and that he will
be allowed to discharge his duties as
advisor to the American embassy
without molestation.
That understanding Is based on the
belief that Mr.. Lind will scrupulously
observe the etiquette Of diplomacy and
will not undertake to raise an issue
as TO his status by addressing himself
directly to General Huerta or to the
Mexican foreign Office. availing him
self OF the services Of Charge
O,Shaughnessy as an intermediary
and mouthpiece for anything that he
may care to say.
Ammunition Shipment Permitted.
on representation that should the
aixht and water supply of Mexico City
be damaged all the foreigners in the
city would suffer, President Wilson has
granted the shipment Of three rapid
fire guns and 80 900 rounds Of ammuni-
ton to the Mexican City Light and
Power Company.
The steamer Monterey, sailing from
New York yesterday, carried q con-
signment Of l45 case Of carbines for
the Huerta command at Vera Cruz and
apOuL & week ago the steamer Mexico
took 6A6 cases Of ammunition and 125
cases Of arms to the same place. II
II said these shipments have been
made under q permit Of June Is, for
the expectation Of 10000 rifles and g.
900. 900 cartridges. Small portions have
bein9 going forward from time to time.
No permit has been issued since that
dafA but the Mexican embassy has
nreuented, several applications to the
state department which have remained
unacted on. This 10 taken to indicate
that President Wilson. for the present
at least; intend to carry out his poll

both factions.
