Ambassador Wilson had a talk with 1 Bryan and Chairman Bacon of the foreign relations committee and dis cuSSed the situation with the presi- dent at the White House. But ex- | cept for the announcement Of Lind's mission, no explanation of the policy to be pursued by the American gov ernment Was forthcoming. The state .ment from Bryan reads:
 "EN-Governor John Lind of Min nesota. has been sent to Mexico as the personal representative Of the president to act as adviser 10 the enl-
 II. the president is ready to communicate with the Mexican authorities as to the restoration of peace he will make public his views. Governor and Mrs Lind departed for Mexico tonight bv rail and will proceed via New Or
 leans or Galveston"
 Il became known that further an nouncement will be made by the pre- sident in a few days possibly on the arrival of Lind in Mexico City.
 IL is said the president has ob- served with keen interest the efforts of leading MeXicans ;o bring about peace but will offer no suggestions until these apparently prove futile. It is likely that Lind will be em- powered to explain that to all in- luiries the~e is unalterable opposi- ion.

 In the meanwhile arms and muni- ions or var continue to he denied O the two warning forces and unless he apparent internal efforts to bring bout peace have failed the United States will not offer its services as

 Declarations from both Huerta and ,arranza have been made to the 'reSs rejecting the mediation pro osals, but the administration off ials realize that both sides fear they nay be showing weakness in the ac- eptance of such a proposal at this ime and are not convinced that friendly efforts to mediate will prove Officials here hope the fort to put an end to bloodshed nd destruction of property will ap- cal to public opinion in Mexico and niJe the factions on peace pro ram.

 While officials of the adminiStra- on here look in disfavor on the 'ocesses of the armed revolution to -erthroW the governments in Latin merica there is distinct feeling
