MEXICO GREATLY AROUSED
Reports of Lind's Mission Re-
ceived With Indignation.
COULD EXPECT NO IMMUNITY.
+ nm i'm Assertion That Suggestion OF
Mediation or Huerta's Resigna-
ton is Not Acceptable.

Mexico City, Aug. 6.-Increased
antagonism has been aroused among
MeXicans toward President Wilson'S
plan for the pacifcation of the re-
pubic, by the latest news from
Washington that the object of John
Llhu visit here as the personal rep
resentative of President Wilson, is
10 consult with prominent Mexicans
ana advise them that the only basis
on which Mexico will be recognized
by the United States is the elimina,-
ton or President Huerta.
Earlier reports that Mr.. Lind DUR
posed to deal with Huerta, perhaps
by making the direct suggestion that
ne resign, were received with indfg-
nation by Mexican officials and the
new angle Of his visit makes 1t not
improbable that he will be treated
with even less consideration than
otherwise would have been accorded
him.
TREAT AS FOREIGNER.
1t was pointed out by a prominent
Mexican today that in the former
case the government might not con-
slider itself obliged to act until the
suggestion was actually put forward
by Mr. Lind, but that in the second
case the government would be justi-
fed in characterizing him as one who
was melting Mexicans along lines OF
sedftion and in applying the pernici-
our foreign expulsion clause of the
constitution. This. Mexicans also in
dicated that since Mr.. Lind was
coming to Mexico in an unofficial
capacity and with no credentials, he
could not expect more consideration
or immunity than an ordinary for
eigner would receive.
MeXicans familiar with interna-
tional law are unwilling to believe
that Mr. Lind's instructions are for
him to q al with others than the au-
thorized officials of the de facto
government.
These officials are still firm III
their assertion that no suggestions
whatever, involving mediation or the
resignation Of Huerta, will be ac-
ceptable and say that the best that
Mr.. Lind can hope for in this respect
is to be ignored. However, the anti
Huerta element, which is not promi-
nently in evidence in the capital, is
skeptical regarding the firm stand
by the administration.

SEVERE SHOCK
FOR INVESTORS
New Haven Directors Suspend
Dividend Payments.

New York, Dec. 11.-After an un-
broken record of forty years as divi-
dend payer the New York, New Haven
and Hartford Railroad company final
ly has been forced to the necessity of
suspending further disbursements on
its $157 100000 of stock.
This decision was reached here
after prolonged meeting of the d.
rectors. The action. while partly
foreshadowed by the recent acute
weakness of the stock, will come as a
shock to thousands of investors.
New Haven began paying dividends
in 1873 and for twenty years there
after maintained 10 per cent rate.
In 1894 it fell to per cent, in 1895 to
s per cent, which it continued until
the early part of this year, when divi'
dends were cut to per cent.
