Mexico City, Jan. 7.-The American charge, O'Shaugsnessy, lett for Vera Cruz tonight in response to a request from John Lind. President Wilson S peronal representative, to call on him there. The charge was accompanied by Mrs. O'Shaughnessy, but their lit tie son was left behind. This was cited by the charge AS indicating his early return.

 It is reported here that two Mexi- cans accompanied Mir. Lind on his re- cent trip on the scout cruiser Ches- ter to Pass Christian. These men are said to have been Sebastian Camacho, an old conservative of the Porfrio Diaz regime, and Antonio Paredes, attorney of the Catholic church in the capital. The reported presence of the latter has been taken to indicate the active part being played by Arch bishop Mora in the settlement of the Mexican difficulties. The archbishop and other church dignitaries have been pleading with those close to Huerta to obtain from the president whatever concession might be neces sary to bring about peace. lndepend. ent of these efforts, it is known that others including high military off cers, have attempted to persuade the president of the necessity of resign ing.
 The report that Huerta is inclined to take steps that will leave the pres ent minister of justice, Senor Geros- tieta, as his successor, has gained i'm petus. There is another report cur rent that a news late will be propos- ed, which would place Gen. Jose Ve- lasco in the presidency, Gen. Lauro Vilar, another officer of the DiaZ re zine, in the ministry of war, and Francisco de la Barra in the ministry of foreign affirs.
 The financial situation was not i'm proved today by the presidents de cree making the notes of state banks legal tender, but it is pointed out that no change could be effected until suf fcient time elapsed to learn what number of state banks would be able to subscribe their part of the guaran tee redemption fund.
