Huerta Government Dis
posed to Regard Him
With Hostility.
REASSURED BY BRYAN
Fresh Outbreak of Anti-Ameri-
can Demonstrations Has
Been Reported.

! Washington, D. c., Aug. AT the
White house, the state department, and
in official circsss TO-DAY the impression
put ont wss tnat Wien the Huerta
government was fully apprised of Pres
ident Wilson's views as transmitted
by John Lind, different construction
would be placed upon Lind's errand
and Mexico would realize it as "a mis-
sion of peace"
MERELY IAN ADVISER.
1t was pointed out today that Lind
| goes merely as an adviser to the
American embassy and carries creden-
tials to neither the federal nor the
cCnstitutionalist government. He will
deal with the Huerta government only
through the charge d'affairs of the
American embassy so there will be no
necessity of his being received by Pres
ident Huerta.
EXPECT NO DEMONSTRATION.
While broad intimations from the
Mexican capital that Lind will be per-
soma non grata attracted wide atten-
tion today, officials were confident no
contingency will occur to afford oppor-
tunity for any overt remonstrance
against Linds presence.
SHOW DISLIKE FOR AMERICANS.
Washington, D. c., Aug. Anti
American demonstrations and attacks
on American property about Acapulco
have been renewed, according to ad
vices TO the state department. The last
attempt was on the Stephens Bros.
ranch, where the bandits demanded
money and stole horses and cattle.
CLARK Is PERSISTENT.
Further demand for the passage of
his resolution for the investigation OF
Mexican condition by the foreign re-
lations committee was made today by
Clark of Wyoming. Chairman Bacon
asked that the resolution be referred
to his committee before being acted
= on, but Clark objected. The admin
= istration probably has a policy, but
We don't know what it is" said Clark
The president has sent his third
confidential representative to the re-
public but we are left without infor-
. nation while American lives are being
lost and American property destroy

; Bacon said conditions were such
no hasty action should be taken by
the senate because of the importance
of the subject.
CALLED GRAVE EMERGENCY.
There is no higher duty rest
ing on us than to approach it
with the utmost gravity" said
Bacon. '-The president of the
United States is face to face with the
grayest emergency that has confront
ed US since l have been a mep .bor of
the senate. 1t is much graver than
that which faced US in the Cuban stu
alton. That was a tempest in a tea
pot compared with what we may be
required to do to establish order IN
Mexico and maintain it a generation
or two" Bacon said the Clark resolu.
tion "fouted" the president in the face
> The Clark resolution was forced
aside. 1t can be taken up again but
