j. s. PINS FAITH ON
GUTIERREZ REGIME
Reported Offer of Conditional
Recognition, However De-
MED by Administration.

While there are official deniaIs Of
reports that the Washington Ad-
niuistration has made conditional
p-offers of recognition 10 the Cutter
rcz government I'm Mexico. it was
earned today that President Wilson
sud Secretary Bryan place practical
iy all hope OF restoration of peace in
the Gutierrez regime, and will lend
70 support TO the Carranza cause.
Secretary Bryan declared that the
question Of the recognition of any
government in Mexico has not yet
been considered. He also stated that
here was no confirmation OF resorts
aast Carranza had made proposals to
-urrender TO the Villa forces at Mex
jgo City.
Recognition Offer Reported.
Cnconfrmed reports from Mexico
city were that the United States
Government had agreed TO recognize
Gutierrez on the condition that he
would guarantee protection to all for
cigners in Mexico and grant general
amnesty to officers and enlisted men
IN the army which opposed his &C
-ession to the provisional presidency.
1t is explained here that while no
offer Of recognition was made there
was q pointed request that foreign
interests be protected.
Further representations regarding out
rages TO Spanish subjects at Puebla
Rave been made to the Gutierrez gov
crnment as result of protests made by
The Spanish ambassador to the Depart
nent of State. Secretary Bryan has re-
cciyed several protests from the am
bsssador with respect TO treatment re-
ceived by Spanish subjects at the hands
Of various Mexican factions.

Sonora, were progressing satisfactorily.

the warning factions appear to have a

partment early today showed an IN

diplomatic battles of the war-ridden re-
public.
