'H Washington, April 2nJ6hn Lind,
fornier governor OF Minnesota and
for eight months the personal repre-.
rcsentatiget IN Mexico of the president
6f the United States will sail from,
Vera Cruz tomorrow enroute to Wash
lngtou aboard the presidential yacht,
MayfloWef. ''i..'''iu u
! The announcement of Mr.. Lind's
pfopectiyG visit was made by Prcsi-
dent''Wiison. with the explanation that
his envoy y4'had requested a vacation
from his <labors in a,itropical climate,
and as Soon as that had been obtaiii-
ed he would return TO Mexico.
1T The lf BFesidept declared that Mr..
Lihd's departure TOR tiie United States
should not be construed as In the
ltture or a recall, or as foreeasting
any change 0f policy by the Washing-
ton government Sowaisd either fac
tion IN MsxitD. HeaSAitl ttfst no ne
gotiations OF any chat ttaefer were now
pending! between the Hnerta govern
ment and the United States, and that
the recent conference Between Senor
Portillo Y. 'Rojas, HRerta's minister
of foreign affairs and Mr.. Lind had de-
veloped nothing tangible, or import
ant. - I, ..s.fzi't.@
Mr.. Lind's trip to- washington, new
ertheless, revived speculation in Of
ficial circles about th9 diplomatic side
OF the Mexican situation, and there
were indications from what, Secretary
Bryan tod 7ca1fers, That while the en-
!Foy' request for a Seatfon had been
gsgateS, no definite plan .1iad been
+tnaae for his return, and that the adj
ministration wac disposed 4, to leave
the question open for, the present. It
In believed that both the president and
Secretary Bryan ,jtst now see MO real
sOn for Mr.. Land not going back to
continue his observations of conditions
in Mexico, but arc not binding them
selves as TO the future, Mr.. Lindis
movements hithertoj being dependent
entirely upon day by day develop
ments. - sIet
The president told induirers that
there was no special reason why MIR.
Ltnd should comc to Washington, as
his reports had been comprehensive
and a5e5a.sss -
Except foF The i've day trip 10 Pass
.Christiana, Miss, last January, aboard
ire scout cruiser, Chester, when ne
did not go ashore, Mr.. Lind has been
constantly observing Mexican affairs
during periods alternately critical
and tedious.
When he visited the president at
t'ass Christian, Mr. Lind spoke OF the
iii ehect which the, tropical climate
had had on his health; but declined
the Presidents inYitatfCi to return to
the United states preferring to con-
Etinne his work OF observation. His
sequest for vacation, at this time
was regarded as sighicant In official
circles. It .-sas taken 60 mean that
he saw no prospect OF General HUI
ezra yielding the reias OF govern
ment to Mexico City through tiipIo-
Iiohitttic persuasion. and fhae nffalrs
would ratnain In statua quo, pending
the outcome OF the ,Constitutionalist
forces march south. General Hner-
ta's message to congress yesterday;
IN which he expressed determines
tion to, remain in offiee until aster
his country was at peace. strengthen
ed the belief here that Mr.. Lind saw
no chance to AFFECT the situation in
Mexico by his continued presence and
lopportnneiy sought the vacation.
while no Important matters were
pending. Upon his own council and
discretion 1t is believed, will depend
IafgelT whether he will return to
Mexico,
