FROM MEXICO.
BIG DEMONSTRATION PLANNED
To Show Approval Of Huerta's
Course People To March Through
Streets and Speeches VIII
~ Be Made.

Mexico City, Aug. 11.-What prom
lses to be a gigantic demonstration
Of popular approval of the attitude
taken by President Huerta regarding
the coming to Mexico of John Lind,
President Wilson's representative. has,
been planned by the student element,
led by their instructors.
The demonstration will not assume
an antiAmerican character, 1t is
stated, although the public generally
finds difficulty in separating the
idea OF anti-Americanism from pro-
liberalism as displayed in the atti-
tude of Huerta toward the United
States.
All to Participate.
1t Is announced that the demon
stration will be participated in not
only by students but all classes of
the people. The crowd will march
through the streets, hating at con-
venient places for speech making.
1t is believed that there will be no
difficulty in securing permission for
the holding of the demonstration, but
that the authorities must be assured
no violence will be committed.
No new official declaration affect
ing the attitude Of the government to-
ward Mr.. Lind was made, but there
Is some reason to believe that the
government Is seriously considering
going to the length Of not permitting
Mr.. Wilson's representative to land
at Vera Cruz.
Friendly Attitude Assured.
Nelson O'Shaughnessy, the Ameri-
can charge d'affaires, acting under
the instructions of Secretary of State
Bryan. again treasured the foreign Of
fee OF the friendly character of Mr..
Lind's visit, reiterating In substance
the previous note of Mr.. Bryan in
which Mexico was requested to re-
serve judgment until the arrival Of
Mr.. Lind.
The alarming character given the
mission of Mr.. Lind was attributed to
sensational newspaper reports. MI.
O'Shaughnessy said, and he added that
not even the embassy in Mexico City
had been advised rs to the character
of Mr.. Lind's instructions.
Intervention Remote Possibility.
New York.-That Intervention by
the United States is scarcely more
than a remote possibility. but should
there be Intervention it would be
fraught with the gravest consequences,
were the opinions expressed by Fran
cisco de la Barra, former provisional
president of Mexico and former Mex
lean ambassador at Washington, upon
his arrival here from Mexico.
Senior de la Barra will sail for Paris
In a few days to I'LL his duties
as Mexican ambassador to France.
Senior de la Barra would not COM
NIT himself so far as to say that all
the warning factions in Mexico would
be united against the United States
In event of Intervention.
Senator de la Barra said he could
not discuss the mission Of ex-Govern-
or Lind as President Wilson's special
representative to Mexico since he had
not read the newspapers the last few
days and 81 was not acquainted with
the facts.
