paper Arrested by Order of Huerta
No Cause Given.

Mexico City, (via Galveston), Aug.
1.-John Lind, special adviser sent
by President Wilson to the American
embassy, today held a long confer
ence at the embassy with Charge
dAfairs O'Shaughnessy. DR.. VIM.
Rayard Hale, also representing Pres
ident Wilson in Mexico, attended.
The arrival here of Lind was tame
affair as far as the Mexicans were
concerned, being without excitement,
Crowds of natives and foreigners
watched the American as he alighted
at the railway station, and Mrs. Lind,
and drove to the hotel Lascurian. He
was accompanied from Vera Cruz by
DR.. Hale and was met here by
O'Shaughnessy.
At no time has there been any
demonstration around Lind and ap-
parently the people are but little in
terested in him or his doings. So far,
the Mexicans have learned nothing
about Lind's mission. He has seen no
one but the staff of the embassy.
The lack of interest displayed in
the arrival of Lind was in measure
due to the Huerta demonstration that
was going on at the time the special
envoy reached the capital. More than
1,9Oe students with rifles and ban
ners marched through the streets,
cheering the provisional president for
his attitude on Lind's coming.
Huerta authorized the demonstra-
ton and issued the rifles to the stu
dents.

Of the WASHINGTON Times, was ar
rested last night by order of Huerta.
The charge against him has not been
made public.
