Washington, Nov, 14-Instructions were sent to Charge O'Shaughnessy tonight indicating to him the extent to which the United States government will go in re-opening the negotiations with those counselIors of Provisional President Huerta who earlier in the day sought to renew the parleys.
 A Favorable Sign.
 The anxiety shown by these officials close to General Huerta was regarded as a favorable sign by high officials here who expected some definite as surances would be forthcoming quick ly upon compliance with the Ameri- can demand that fhe new congress be not covered and that HUerta be elim- mated.
 The position of the American gov ernment, however, is that unless some thing definite is promised by the Huerta- officials the resumption of the negotiations would be fruitless.
 Lind Refuses to Return to Mexico City.
 This was the status of the Mexican situation late tonight Efforts by COunsellors of Huerta to induce John Lind at Vera Cruz to reopen the en- tire subject had not been successful up to a late hour it was reported here.

It was suggest tered with reference to Huerta, ranza's declaration was intended chief Iy to allay any feeling in Mexico that he was entering into alliances with the United States, a situation that might be made an issue, it is realized here, and develop discord among his followers.

 The Washington administration, however, through William Bayard Hale, it is stated on the authority of persons in President Wilson's conf- dence, has never offered mediation nor any other interference with a view toward regulating internal af- the parleys through Mr. Hale, it is pointed cut, has been to obtain as surance of protection for all foreign

Lives of 256
 Sailors Lost
s5ooo PROPERTY LOSS BY STORM
 ON GREAT LAKES
MANY VESSELS WRECKED
Identity of Overturned Freighter Not Yet Positively Deternnined--Another Steamer Had to be Abandoned.

Port Huron. Mich. Nov. 14-For the first time since Sunday, day has passed without revealing more lives lost in the storm which overwhelmed ed the Great Lakes the early part of the week. Only one additional boat dis aster developed today, and that was the WreclItng of the steamer Major of Whitefsh Point. in Lake Superior. She was abandoned by her crew last night after a futile effort had been made to weather the second storm of the week The crew was picked up by passing steamer.
 256 Sailors Lost.
 Tonight the life loss among sailors is estimated at approximating 256 and the property loss is figured at more than $5,000,000. The property loss in- cludes the score or more of vessels driven on the rocks. or shore, and par tially or wholly destroyed, One hun dred and ninety five lives were taken on Lake Huron. if approximate figures are correct: forty eight lives were lost in Lake Superior, seven. on Lake Michigan and six in Lake Erie.
 Overturned Boat Not Yet Identified.
 The steamers, the destruction of which entailed life loss. were: John A. Mclean, Charles $. Price, James s. Carruthers, Regina, Wexford, Argus, Hydrus, Scott, Leafield. William Not tingham, Henry B. Smith, Plymouth and lightship No. S2.
 One of the strangest features of the general disaster is the mystery sur rounding the identity of the overturned vessel in Lake Huron just a few miles northeast of here. A diver went out again today, hoping to learn the name of the boat, but high seas again pre- vented his work.
 Steamer Matea Abandoned.
 Practically everyone acquainted with the situation believes the vessel is either the Price or the Regina
 No further details had been received up to tonight concerning another ves- sel which was today reported lying bottom side up several miles north in Lake Huron She may be any one of the missing vessels, but the reports of her red bottom would indicate that she is apt to be the Carruthers.
 Wreckers at work on the steamer Matea today abandoned her. She s8ept on the rocks eff Point Aux Baiduas and was so badly damaged that noth- ing can be done for her at this time
