SAYS THERE'S EVIDENCE
OF HUERTAS WILLINGNESS

Mexico City, Nov. 14.-Conf1dence in
the early accomplishment of the aims
of the United States toward Mexico
was expressed today by Nelson
O'SEaughnessy, American charge daft
faires.
The overtures made by the Mexican
minister of the interior, Manuel Cara
Aldape yesterday, are taken as evi-
dence that Huerta is ready to recede
from the stand he had previously
taken.
Although Mr.. O'Shaughnessy was
uncommunicative on the subject and
refused information as to any phase
of the latest development, it was un-
derstood that he expected to have q
further conference with Senior Aldape
late today.
At this conference it is expected
that the ideas of Washington as to
the wisdom of John Lind, personal
representative of President Wilson,
returning from Vera. Cruz to the fed
eral capital and receiving a commit
tee representing Provisional President
Huerta will be made known to the
representative of the provisional pres
ident.
Dispatches from Washington pub
lfshed here today indicating the prob
ability of q. settlement of the Mexican
question without resort to arms. which
during the past week appeared TO be
a. foregcne conclusion created an at
fnosphere of optimism and greatly re-
lieved tho tension.
To most of the foreigners in Mexico
City it appeared today that the storm
cloud had passed for the time being.
