Washington Sept. 1l-If Senior Manuel
de Zamacona. who is now I'm this country
| on n mission which. he says, has to do
with only his personal business, but which
| in reality has to do with the relations or
the United States and the government or
| President Huerta in Mexico desires to see
/ the President Of the United States or the
Secretary of state he will do so only on
two conditions.
! One Is that the assurance, whlcn TINS
| government considers il has already re-
oeived, that Huerta will not be candi-
date at the next elections, shall be reiter-
I ated and made clear. and the other that
| the Huerta government shall not seek
/ recognition by the United states. There
| is no official announcement to this effect,
but In official circles il is learned that TINS
/ is the administration attitude toward
| Zamacona and his mission.
To the mystincation Of officials, Senior
Zamacona left Washington this morning
| and started by way OF Baltimore for New
| York. where il is understood he is TO en-
! gage in financial transactions in behalf 81
his government. II had been expected
that Zamacona would almost certainly re
main here for a time and probably would
seek a conference either with the secre-
tary Of state or the President. inasmuch
as his government had asked that ne DC

Zamacona will Try 10 negotiate loan Tor
Huerta IN New York. but the embassy
will not admit that this * true.
The question whether lluerta has or
has not actually given assurances TO this
government that he will not be can

time. is still unsettled. II was made clear
again to-day that the administration be

ances but there is some doubt about 1t.
The Huorta people IN Mexico city say
that no assurances have been given that

vision prohibiting the provisional Presi-
dent from being candidate.
The fact seems 10 be that the admins
tration received some indication. when II
construed as an assurance. Sow the ad-
mluistration is not certain that IN" as

there has been mis.utcrpretation or mis-
take. the fact remains that President VIII
