HUERTA READY
TO AGREE TO
TERMS WITH
UNCLE SAM
Minister Of Foreign Affairs Is
Sent to Vera Cruz to Reopen
Negotiations with Envoy Lind
Which It Is Believed win Re
suit in Dictator Agreeing to
Terms Insisted Upon by United
States.
CITY OF MEXICO, March 10

CITY OF MEXICO, March 10.
- ASSOCIATED Press by Federal
Wireless) Forced by the increas-
ing seriousness Of the Mexican sit
uation, President Husrta now APP
pears ready to resume negotia-
tions with Envoy Lind, who has
been making his headquarters at
Salina Cruz for some time. This
was indicated yesterday by re-
ports current in semi-ofiicial cir
cles. II is announced that Jose
Lopez Portilla y Rojas, minister
Of foreign affairs, has been direct
ed by the government to reopen
negotiations with the representa-
tive Of the United States. He left
yesterday for Vera Cruz for the
purpose of making unofficial ex-
changes with the representative
Of the United States.
It is believed here that this will
lead to negotiations which may
yet result in Huerta acceding to
the demands of President Wilson
TO resign the presidency and pro-
vide for free election of his sue
cessor.
! In the event of an agreement
it is believed Huerta will 60 into
the field at the head Of the Federal
forces and attempt to put down
the revolution, as he once before
intimated. ~ t
Every effort has been made to
keep the mission Of the minister
Of foreign affairs to Vera Cruz q
secret. Minister Rojas, it is ex-
pected, will hold his first confer
ence with Envoy Lind today.
Huerta's intention of taking up
with more vigor the campaign
against the Constitutionalists was
evidenced yesterday when he sum-
moned to the palace sixty of the
wealthiest residents in the CAPT
tai. In the conference that fol
lowed he intimated TO them in an
indirect way that financial sup
port of the federal government at
tins time would be highly agree
able in view Of the campaign he
purposed inaugurating against the
rebels. Incidentally he reminded
them Of the decree he issued sew
eral months ago, calling upon
each of the owners Of haciendas
in Mexico TO equip and maintain
aforce Of ten men for the purpose
Of the defense Of the government.
He pointed out that this decree
bad never been enforced and an
nounced that it would be. He
urged those present to immediate
~ obey the order. If this decree
is carried out it will give Huerta,
with his present troops, a force of
i've hundred thousand men to
cope with the revolutionists.
