VOL. LV.—NO, 207 The Bulletin’s Circulation In MEXICAN SITUATION MORE HOPEFUL - President Wilson Receives Long and Encouragipg Message from John Lind at Vera Cruz ' PRELIMINARY AGREEMENT PROBABLY REACHED Silence at White House Regarding New T'um of Affairs, But it is Definitely Stated That Situation is Now More En- couraging Than at Any Time—Senor Gamboa Gives As- surance That Huerta Won’t be Candidate for Presidency ‘Washington, Aug. 28—President Wilson received a leng message from John Liad at Vera Cruz late tonight outlining the prespecis of a settlement of the Mexican problem in most opti- mistic terms. While absolute silence ‘was, malntained at the White House, there was a well defined impresston in official circles that the Huerta govern- ! ment and Mr. Lind had reached a ! preliminary agreement which might ; e ta peace in the southern republic. It was stated on high authority that the situation was more encouraging than it has been at any time since Mr. Lind went to Mexico. The message to the president was essentially a summary of the points made by the Huerta government in its last note which was carried to Vera Cruz by Colonel Manuel M. Guasque. While no detafls were made public, it is understood that both the United States and the Huerta government feel that they can now renew negotiations on a franker basis. There were persistent rumors cur- rent that Huerta had stated he would make public announcement of his in- tention not to be candidate in the com- ing election, but they lacked tion in official quarters. Day’s Developments Pleasing. Administration officals expressed themselves as pleased with the day’s development. President Wilson re- garded as hopeful the tone of the note sent by Frederico Gamboa, Mexican minister of foreign affairs, in reply to supplementary sugmestions made by John Lind before leaving Mexico City for Vera Cruz last Monday. The full text of the two communications was received here and while neither side, according to the official interpretation, Yields any of the essential points in situation grows acute, will leave late tomorrow, The machinery of the government continued to operate in enforcement of the policy outlined by the president tn his address to congress. Customs agents and military authorities alons the southern frontier were ordered to hold up all shipments of arms or am-y munition destined for any point ini Mexico. Major General Wood, chief of staff, U. S, A, who returned to Washington toffay, did not go to the war department, but remained at the beddide of his sick wife. He kept in touch, however, with the situation on the border, where it is expected more troops will be used to enforce neutral- ity. Secretary Daniels of the navy department aanounced that no more additional battleships would be or- dered to Mexican waters, Palace of Peace Inaugurated. The Hague, Netherlands, Aug. 28.— The Palace of Peace was inaugurated here this afternoon. The ceremony of handing the edifice over to the charge of the Dutch foreign minister was car- ried out in the great court in the pres- ence of Queen Wilhelmina, the dowager queen Emma and Prince Consort Henry. These were surrounded by a distinguished gathering of representatives Gf peace Societi: people prominent in all the arts and sciences. 3 AMERICANS ALARMED. President Wilson’s Warning Message Causes Consternation. Mexico City, Aug. 28.—Americans resident in the capital are at a loss to know how- to interpret the peremp- tory warning issued by President Wil- son to leave the republic. Somewhat its contentions, the method of proaching the difficulties at hand is admittedly more friendly and framed with more regard for a practical so- Jution. Would Aid Mexico to Get Loan. The two motes exchanged Lind and Gamboa were published full here today and official Washington read them closely. » Much interest was manifest in ‘the suggestion made by Lind that all pro- Posals be laid aside for the present ex- cept that which asks Huerta not to be a candidate in the coming elections. It was learned that while President Wilson knew the gist of Mr. Lind's second proposals, he was not acquaint- ed until today with the text of the communication in which , Mr. Lind promised that if his last’suggestions ‘were accepted, assurances would be given American bankers of the moral support of the American government for a loan to rehabilitate the finances of the present Mexican regime. The White House view of the offer of the Joan was that should the present ef- fort to bring about peace appear to be bearing fruit, it would be fncum- bent upon the United States to help Mexico straighten out her financial tangles. Huerta Not Likely to Be a Candidate. The argument of Senor Gamboa that Huerta as provisionai president of Mexico was prohibited by the Mexi- can constitution from succeeding him- seif and that the American contention therefore Wwas unnecessary was scru- tinized closely and some offictals point- ed out that no guarantee existed that Huerta would not resign at some time prior to the election and thereby make himself eligible. It was suggested, too, that to accept the citation of the Mexican constitution as sufficient re- striction on Huerta's ‘candidacy might be construed as a recognition of Huer- ta as the constitutionally chosen ruler of the southern repubik Notwithstanding this view, however, hope was found in_the vigorous dis. claimer_of Senor Gamboa that any- one should have suspected Huerta of desiring o become a candidate for this was regarded as a taclt implicdtion t Huerta finally would not enter presidential race, Mexican Pride Involved, The chief difficulties/of the present situation, it is recognized by admin- tration officials, are the questions of ide and natlonal honor invelved. Protestations by Senor Gamboa that to yleld to the contentions of the TUnited States would be a surrender reassured by the declaration that armed intervention is not intended, they are now wondering whether there is a hidden meaning back of the lat- est warning. ‘The American consulate-general was crowded throughout the day by Amer- icans of all classes, seeking detailed information. The copsul-general, Ar- nold Shanklin, ‘'was unable to give any advice other than that based upon in- structions from the state department to send to all consuls in his district a message which is to the effect that they should advise all Americans in efr serritory to leave Mexico at once, going to the nearest seaport where ships would be in readiness to take them off. % Most of the Americans who called at the consulate are planning to ‘reg- ister their property and obey Wash- ington’s injunction. A few are avail- ing themselves of the fund appropri- ated for the refugees; a great many put the cost of transportation in a secondary place. The great majority of those who have been able to arrange their affairs have already departed from the cap- ital and some from other places. Those who remain have for the most part interests to leave behind which would mean the sacrifice of their only means of_livelihood, The warning has created something like consternation on the part of not a few Americans. It will undoubtedly, however, result in a new exodus and the general determination is to aban- don everything they possess in the be- lief that their lives are endangered but in what way they are unable to find a reasonable answer, REBELS HOLD SABINAS. Federal Detachment of Eighty Men But Forty Miles Away, Constitutional = Field Headq near Lampacitos, Coahuila, Au. (Via Eagle Pass, Texas, Aug. 28),—A checkerboard with each side apparent- ly breaking into its oppoment’s’ king row describes the situation today with respect to the federal and constitution- alist armies in northeastern Mexico. An_Associated Press correspondent was permitted to come here on a mili- tary train to verify or disprove reports that federals had captured Sabinas, an important constitutionalist refugee station, 50 miles from the Texas bor- der. The constitutionalists still hold Sabinas, but there is a federal detach- mentysaid to include 80 men under Guajatdo 40 miles northwest. Federals hold Monclova, 100 miles south of the horder, Constitutionalists, however, have a defachment at Bajan, stll further south, between Monciova and the federal main line near Mon-~ rters, 27— of sovereignty and would permit a forelgn government to veto the candi dacy of Individuals in Mexican sl tions, hereafter, have been met by the, statement of officials here that the United States has not the slightest desire to interfere with the sovereign rights of Mexico, There was confldence in official circles that by the exchange of other communications both Mexico end the United States would further clarify their positions on this point, imputations of dictation would be re- moved, and any changes hrought about in Mexice, at any rate, would result from the voluntary acts of the Mexi- ean administration. Administration Cautions Press. So far as the Washington govern- ment is concerned, it has heen made plain that it hopes merely that a peaceful settlement of the difficuities may be reached regardless of how the Mexican authorities are influenced to compose the situation. Evidence of this was given today through frequent eautions by administration officials to the press to aveid injuring the sem- sibilities of the Mexican people by ref- erence te ‘“concesslons” ‘“triumphs,” or “defeats,” In this connection poini- ed reference was e to the réemark of Semor Gamboa in his Jatest note: “We are really in the way of arriv- ing ut an arrangement equally digni- fled for beth sides” Less Tension at Wa: gton. mflu as a whole was strip- of the tension which held The s national capital in its grip during last few days. terey, On the war checkerboard the consti- tutionalists claim an advantage in the last few days, asserting that, except for Guajardo’s band of 80, they con- trol all the northern half of Coahuila on a line drawn east and west roughly through Cuatro, Cienagas, Nadansres and Candela., GERMAN PRESS HOSTILE, o~ President Wilson Blamed for Present Mexican Situation, Berlin, Aug, 28.—Fhe evening papers of Berlin paid little attentien te Pres- ident Wilson's message on the Mexi- can situation, What little comment there was, as usual, was in an unm- friendly spirit, The Taegliche Rundschau in a lead- ing article entitled “Wilson Tries His ’Prentice Hand,” says: “President Wil- gon by his mistaken insistence on the nen-recognition of Previsional Presi- dent Huerta has made himself respon- sible for.the presemnt situation. It is hard to understand why he so obsti- nately adheres to his 0ld standpoint. President Wilson’s assurances of sin- cere and umselfish sympathy toward Mexicq are in the sharpest contrast with the American government('s poli- o EXODUS OF AMERICANS. - Believed There Won't Be 1,000 There Cabied Paragraphs British Steamship Campanello Floated.

She listened Intently, rigidly, wincing at passages of the tes- timony. Concluding her testimony for the day, Marsha Warrington walked to a seat at the table of counsel for the govérnment.

Sherbrooke, Que;-Alg. 28 —Harry K. Thaw’s lawyers, successful so far in keeping their client in jail, safe from the immigration authorities,rejoiced to- night when they received word from Quebec that the trip of William Trav- ers Jerome to see Sir Lomer Gouln, provincial premier and attorney gen- eral, had been in vain. Jerome Sought the Premier, Mr. Jerome, leader of the New York state forccs seeeking Thaw's return to Matteawan, accompanied by Deputy Attorney General Franklin Kennedy. lert here last night hoping to lay be- fore the premier facts that would per- | suade him to sweep ‘aside the.com- mitment on which Thaw is held in Sherbrooke \and place him in the hands of the immigration authorities. Presumably, Mr, Jerome did not know that the premier. was to leave Quebec for New York to join those paying tribute to Lord Haldane, who is to ar- rive there from England tomorrow. Thompson to Be Arraigned Today. Similarly, this fact was not known to Louis St. Laurent, €ngaged by the Thaws to defend “Gentleman Roger” Thompson,. the chauffeur. Although concerning ~ himself “chiefly with the Thompson case, Mr, St. Laurent is a resident of Quebec, a lieral and a sup- porter of the premier, and he was_de- spatched-thither, it was understood, to use whatever influence he could bring to bear agaihst the premier taking any action in the Thaw case at this time. He will return here tomorrow to de- fend Thomnson when the latter is ar- raigned before the distriét magistrate, Mulvena, on a charge of aiding an un- desirable to cross the frontier. / Thompson Won’t “Squeal.” If Thompaon can prove he is a Brit- ish subject he cannot be deported, but he can be fined a maximum sum of $500 or imprisoned for three months. Thompson said tonight that he would plead not guilty and absolutely would not “squeal” as to the details of Thaw's detivery from Matteawan. Must Prove Thaw Insane. It will doubtless be necessary for the prosecution to prove”Thaw insane be- fore they can establish that he is an undesirable alien and thus sustain the charge against Thompson. If this is ‘the case, the Thompson trial may go over until alienists can examine Stan- ford White's slayer. “ ¥ There was renewed talk today of the possibility of Thaw’s being admitted to bail pending the lonfi wait for trial before the king’s bench'in October, the length of time it now appears he will be held. One of Thaw's counsel said tonight that his admission to bail he woyld regard as an extremely unwise e. Thaw to Stay in Jail at Present. “In my opinion the immigration au- thorities could then take him in charge, and although they could not deport him, in view of his being bound by a bond to appear in court, they might be able to embarrass us. For the present Mr. Thaw will remain in jail; perhaps later we will hit on a way to get him out in safety.” More of Thaw’'s counsel called on him today. On the whole it was for him the most uneventful day of his in- carceration here. Situation Unchanged. Messrs. Jerome and Kennedy were due to return from Quebec late tonight. Until they decide on some plan of get- ting Thaw out of the SHerbrooke jail the status of the case remains the same as when he was brought here. FOUGHT WITH KNIVES IN STRETS OF CITY.
