* ‘QPAGE TWO. LIND’S ARRIVAL CAUSES NO STIR Small Crowd Greets Special American Envoy. NTENDS TO MOVE SLOWLY Believes His Work in Mexico Will Be | Completed in Three Weeks and Pos- sibly Sooner—Has Nothing to Say of Details of His Mission. City of Mexico, Aug. 12.—John Lind, jthe personal emissary of President Wilson, has thus far had a compara- tively uneventful experience in Mex- idco. Before leaving Vera Cruz Mr. Lind (was visited by General Gustavo Maas, the military commander there, he be- ing the first official of Mexico to meet ‘the emissary. The meeting took place at the train just before Mr. Lind’s de- parture, and General Maas also did him the honor to parade a small de tachment of troops alongside his train. The monotony of the trip in the reg- ular day train from Vera Cruz to the capital was broken by an enforced de- lay by the wreck of a train ahead in the region which has been the scene of rebel operations. Mr. Lind have the slightest intention of dis- cussing affairs regarding Mexico with private individuals. He said his busi- mess was with official Mexicans and JOHN LIND. that he would be very careful with | whom he talked. There need be no| apprehension, he added, that he| would embarrass the government by} indiscretion of that sort. There is reason to believe that be-| fore his mission to Mexico is ended Mr. Lind will have suggested more} than the mere fulfillment of the prom- ise by General Huerta that elections be held. It has been pointed out that such a demand is not wholly consis- tent, since the promise to hold elec- tions in October has already been 'made, and intimations of bad faith are out of taste at the present time. Mr. Lind does not propose to act declared here he did not} ; east and southwest, hastily, though he will lose no time and it may be that all his work in‘ Mexico will be finished in three weeks, and possibly much sooner. If General Huerta persists in being unwilling to see him, O’Shaughnessy, the charge d’affaires, will transmit Lind’s com- munications. The arrival of Mr. Lind has been devoid of any thrills. When the per- sonal representative of President Wil- son alighted from his train after a tedious day’s journey from Vera Cruz only*a few persons were about the station. The party was received by Nelson O'Shaughnessy, secretary of the Unit- ed States embassy, who has been act- ing as charge d’affaires since the resig- nation of Ambassador Wilson, and Charles E. Park, a member of the embassy staff. Police in large num- bers guarded the approach to the sta- tion, but as the party was driven off to a hotel where reservations had been made the public generally as- sumed an apathetic attitude.

There is no occasion for alarm in the opinion of the president, who told callers that within the last forty- eight hours the Mexican situation has been improved materially. It was made clear by the president that the instructions to John Lind, his personal representative, chiefly were to inform the American government how things stood generally in Mexico. Sooner or later, it was pointed out, Mr. Lind will make certain sugges- tions to the Huerta government through the American embassy, but in just what circumstances has not been determined upon fully. Any- thing in the suggestions that properly may be made public will be revealed, according to administration officials here, an dforeign governments con- ‘| stantly will be appraised of the va- rious steps taken by the United States.

Washington, Aug. 12.—Senator Hol- lis of New Hampshire, Democrat, flay- ed the cotton manufacturers of New England in a tariff speech in whick he declared that New England had been discriminated against and char- ! acterized as false the charge that tar- iff reduction would ruin the textile | industry. “The cotton manufacturers have taken the highest protection and paid pauper wages,” said he. “They are compelled by statute to work humane hours and conduct their business on humane lines; and not one voluntarily has reduced the hours of labor. “They seek to control the govern- ment, to prevent labor legislation, es- cape just taxes, to control the police and inferior courts and secure mili- tary aid for the suppression of strikes. It is a question whether one-sided de- velopment of this kind is best for any community.” TURKEY’S REPLY 10 POWERS EVASIVE. Force May Be Necessary to Compel Good Behavi London, Aug. 12.—With the Balkan peace treaty signed and out of the way the powers faced a more serious Turkish problem, because of the treaty provisions. The peace treaty provides for the immediate demobili- zation of the Bulgarian army and the question now confronting the great powers is who will force the Turk to treaty of London. A force of more than 200,000 Turks is now in Thrace and their activities menace the peace of the Balkans. Bulgaria, Servia and Greece are ap- prehensive that the Ottomans will be- come more aggressive with the with- drawal of the Bulgarian forces.
