This was the status Of the Mexican
situation late tonight. Efforts boy coun-
selors Of liuerto to induce John Lind
at Vera Cruz to reopen the entire
subject had not been successful up
to q late hour. it was reported here.
Mr. Lind refused 90 go back to Mexico

were Forthcoming from General Huer-

latlons committee. In discussing dis
patches from Mexico city stating that
Huertas counselors were seeking TO

the only condition upon which that
could be done was the complete sur

that they were receiving from the
great powers they ala not discuss the

again that Huerta's elimination was
Inevitable.

nouncing General Carranza's absolute
refusal to accept any transaction
with foreign nations looking toward
"a regulation of Mexico's internal af-
fairs were not commented upon by
government officials here. II was sug-
gested in some quarters that General

chiefly to allay any feeling In Mex

with the United States, a situation
that might be made an issue, it Is
realized here, and develop diseord

II is stated on the authority Of per-
sons in President Wilson's confidence
that the Washington administration
has never offered mediation through
William Bayard Hale or any other
interference with view towards
regulating internal affairs in Mexico.

JOHN REDMOND AND
WIFE ATTACKED
BY WOMAN
Suffragette Runs AmuCk and
After Striking Home Rule
Leader EmptieS Bag Of FLOUR
Over His Head,

New Castle Eng, Nov. 14.-John
Redmond, the Irish leader, and his
wife, were attacked by a suffragette
today while on a train at Durham.
The suffragette entered the apart
ment where Mr.. and Mrs. Redmond
were seated, and after declaring that
the Irish leader had not done enough
for the women Of Ireland, struck him
on the head and struck Mrs Red
mond on the back She then scat
tered the contents of a bag of flour
over Mr. and Mrs. Redmond. A train
attendant forcibly elected the woman
from the train and handed her over
TO the police.
Mr.. Redmond, in a speech delivered
in the town hall tonight, said there
was no demand however eXtravagant
or unreasonable, that might be put
forth on behalf Of the Ulster union-
lists which the nationalists would not
be ready to consider, so long as it
was consistent with the principle of
national government for Ireland
If opponents to home rule remained
obdurate and would agree to no
reasonable settlement, Mr.. Redmond
besought the country not to slam the
doors in the face of Ireland because
of fear of fanatics or the budgeons
of bullles."
