BY The United Press.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-President
Huerta today made concessions in his
stand against the American mediation
plan. Special Envoy Lind cabled that
the de facto president had withdrawn
his request, made in the original note
rejecting the Wilson proposals, Of an
exchange OF ambassadors and In ef-
! feet had requested that the entire
! situation be allowed TO remain in
4 status quo until the presidential cleo
/ tion in Mexico in October.
! The subject Of Lind's digest of the
latest communication from the de fac
to president was made public here
today Lind did not confirm reports
that Huerta had accepted the peace
plan entirely. lie advised the Presi-
dent he would remain in Mexico in
definitely.
The most significant clause in
Lind's dispatch stated
"The request for exchange of am
bassadors is Withdrawn. but It is
hoped that present embassies continue
in personnel until after the October
elections"
A willy movement by Huerta TO Sc
cure recognition Of his status as the
actual provisional president was re-
ported by Lind The special envoy
said that Huerta covertly asked for
the diplomatic move which would
recognize him as the constitutional
provisional president" He suggests.
Lind stated, that by requesting Huer-
Ia not 10 be candidate for the pres
idency, this government has recog-
! nized the legality Of his provisional
I
tion.
This Is denied by the administra-
tion here. No such Interpretation OF
this governments representations Is
possible, officials asserted today.
The new request made by Huerla
I In effect reopens negotiations upon
the minor counter proposals Of Huer.
$ ta No definite reply will be made
, by President Wilson through LIND
