reply to the United States demands,
which was discussed in detail at last
nights cabinet meeting will set forth
that the United States has no right,
legal or otherwise, to demand General
Huerta's elimination. This state
ment was given out today from one
of the departments of the Mexican
government.
The reply, it is said, will also point
out that Provisional President Huer
has no legal right to accede to the
demands The informant says it was
decided to incorporate in the reply a
declaration that General Huerta in
tends to increase the Mexican army
to 100000 men.
Final stages of the negotiations be-
tween Mexico and the United States
are to be participated in personally at
short range by John Lind, President
Wilson's personal Mexican envoy. He
arrived this morning from Vera Cruz.
The series of delays in Provisional
President Huertas formal answer to

the lack of definite action which
would indicate his attitude in face of
the demands has been annoying 10

tative
1t was known that negotiations had

he consented to pose for several pho

teryiewers he made non-committal re-
plies, thus maintaining the reputation
for tactiturnity which he earned on his
previous trip.
There was much speculation here to-
day as to the character of the discus
sion at the cabinet meeting held last
night. All that is known definitely. is
that the relations between Mexico and
the United States were discussed, but
no determinate action was taken.
