The Ely miner., 1913-08-29

Washington, Aug 28.-Unless Pro-
vincial President Huerta of Mexico
makes up his mind before noon to ac-
| cept the proposals of the United States
| to bring about peace between the war
ring factions of Mexico, President Will
| son will deliver his message on the
situation to joint session of congress
setting forth the policy of this action
| towards it's southern neighbor.
1t is believed that the negotiations
with Mexico will end after the presi.
dent reads his message.
24-hour postponement of the pres
entation of the message, which was tc
have been read Tuesday was agreed
to after joint request from FREDERICK
Gamboa, Mexican foreign minister, and
John Lind, President Wilson's personal
representative in Mexico. 1t followed
repeated efforts on the part of the
Huerta officials to have the reading of
the document deferred indefinitely.
Mr.. Lind left the Mexican capital
Tuesday for Vera Cruz, however, with
the understanding that the United
States would announce it's policy to-
day unless the Huerta government re-
ceded. .-....
.. Proposals CT U. S.
Mr.. Lind had made certain supple
mentary suggestions to Senor Gamboa,
the nature of which was not divulged,
but administration officials declared
these constituted no departure from
the fundamentals of the American
note
Mr.. Lind informed Senor Gamboa
that he would stop in Vera Cruz and
could be reached there in case there
should be any reply to his last sugges-
ton. ... ... ..
1t was said that Mr.. Lind practical
ly had concluded his mission and went
to Vera Cruz chiefly to impress upon
the Mexican administration that today
noon was positively the last minute
the United States would wait before
proclaiming to the world the position
it has taken toward the Huerta gov
ernment and the course which it is
ready to pursue, for years if necessary,
to uphold the principle of orderly and
constitutional government in Latin
America.
Officials were not sanguine that the
it's rejection of the American note and
preparations were being made for the
delivery of the special message by the
president.
Both houses had passed resolution
to meet in joint session at l o'clock.
While administration officials regret
that they were unsuccessful in bring
ing things to a definite point through
the Lind negotiations, information, Of
ficial and unofficial, indicates. to them
that the Huerta government cannot
last much longer. With foreign gov
ernments supporting the American pol
icy there is little hope, according to
the official view here, for the Huerta
government to obtain any funds abroad
to pay it's army or meet running ex-
penses.
Lind and Gamboa Exchange Notes.
Mexico City, Aug. 27.-President
Wilson's personal representative, John
lLlIlu, anu II IeueTlCO UdIlDOd, I06 Mex
lean minister of foreign affairs, are
again exchanging notes on the subject
of relations between the two govern
ments, notwithstanding that Mr.. Lind
has already left the capital and that
President Wilson's other agent, Will
liam Bayard Hale, has planned to
leave today.
Senor Gamboa's note, which he says
is in reply to one he received from the
American envoy, was sent to Mr.. Lind
at Vera Cruz. 1t is believed that it
had to do merely with the request
on the part of Mexico that President
Wilson delay the reading of his mes
sage to congress in order that the
Mexican government might prepare for
simultaneous publicity of portion of
all of the documents in the case.
The government understands that
Mr.. Lind will leave Vera Cruz for the
United States Thursday. Mr.. Hale's
instructions are to leave here right
away.
"Mr Lind will be entirely welcome
in Mexico should he wish to return,
declared Minister Gamboa.
