HAS NO WORD THAT SENIOR
ROJAS Is ON WAY TO
MEET LIND.
Is Still Firm That Any Proposition
Must BE Acceptable TO
Both Sides.

WASHINGTON. March ls.=The
United States government will wei
come reopening of negotiations with
the Huerta government or the Con
stitutionalists and will be glad to con-
slider any proposal that will tend to
draw the various factions together
into plan for the restoration of
peace In Mexico.
This Is the attitude of President
Wilson as IL was revealed to-day af-
ter reports reached here saying Senor
Portiiloy Rojas. minister for foreign
anairs In the Huerta cabinet. had
gone TO meet John Lind, MIR. Wilson =
personal representatives. TO seek n re-
sumption OF the peace parleys. Senor
Rotas has been mentioned as the man
who would succeed Huerta II he re-
tired. and the object of the visit to

president In talking with callers to-
day. while rsnnarklug that he had had
no Official report OF any new parleys,
spoke In complimentary terms OF the
Mexican minister OF foreign affairs as
man OF high character.
Not Personal Antaaonism.
what the president emphasizes in
MS formal discussion on the Mexican
situation is that he, as president OF
the United States. has never sought
to approve or disapprove of indiyid.
uais VINO may aspire TO the presidency
OF Mexico. and that he has no list OF
men whom he holds under socalIed
ban. because OF alleged complicitv In

lusal 10 recognize Huerta, Il NAV be

10 Huerta. but on the ground that the
constitutionalists would meyer no
reconctled TO the man who had over
thrown Madero and Suarez. and that
governments set up bv arbitrary force
and not rejecting the popular will
should not be dealt with by the United
States,
Must Be Satisfactory.
Likewise in the consideration of in.
