OF charges that Ambassador Wilson was
an important factor in the Huerta-Diaz
plot for the overthrow OF the Maderc
government the administration has sent
a message commencing Mr. Wilson on his
course in handling the situation in Mex
leo City during the critical stages.

bassador Wilson by Ernesto Madero and
others as malicious falsehoods' and say
the American colony in Mexico City has
been fulsome In its praise Of the American
diplomat for his efficient service. 1t is
reported that the Americans rendered Mr..
Wilson a silver set as a token OF their
confidence and appreciation.
The officials intimate that the charges
were inspired by the Madero family and
their representatives. a Washington agent
being suspected of aiding in the campaign
against the ambassador. 1t IS true that
the American Embassy was recognized as
