General Felix Diaz looked down- hearted when interylewed in prison to- day by The Associated Press. He showed two slight stab wounds in the neck, just behind the ear, as the resultt of his encounter with several Mexi- cans last night, but he said that his condition was not serious and that he suffered no pain. He declared he had spent the night resting. Diaz’s Version of Shooting. General Diaz said he was awaiting the decision of the court as to whether leased, which would be determined af- ter 72 hours of provisional arrest. Describing the attack made on him last night, Diaz said he was sitting in Malecon park lisiening to the concert with friends when suddenly h ewas struck by an unknown person. He de- fended himeelf with an umbrella. Dur- ing the scrimmage one shot was fired, he said, he did not know by.whom. A man who later was identified as Padro Guerrero fell to the ground and a po- liceman who then arrived on the scene took the injured man to a hospital Under Provisional Arrest. General Diaz said he was taken be- fore a judge and at 430 o'clock this morning was placed under provisional arrest. He affirmed he knew nothing further of the incident, but believed the attack on him was premeditated. The general declined to make a state- ment with regard to his future plans. He sald: “I was walting here for Mexican de- velopments, and now will be compelled to stay until this case has been cleared b D Friends of Diaz called at the prison this morning and offered to testify that he is innocent of the shooting of Guerrero, Many Contradictory Versions. Several Havana newspapers had published the statement that the Mex- ican charge d'affaires Domingo Na- jers, had accused the Cuban police of favoring friends of General Carranza, the constitutionalist leader, and of not at the Cuban state department an denled having made such a statement. Many contradictory versions of last night's incldent are current. It is not known exactly how the affray started. Some say Diaz provoked General Car- ranza's followers, while others declare that Diaz was suddenly attacked by his enemies. Julio Ortez Casanova, a Cuban law- yer, sald today he would petition the court for the indictment of Diaz for manslaughter, adding that several Mexican and four Cuban witnesses Would testify that they saw Diaz and his friends attack Guerrero. Guerrero 1s a young newspaperman and a strong adherent of General Car- ranza. He was shot in the back, the bullet penetrating the ‘abdomen. He will be operated upon this afternoon.

RDEN FAIL TO AGREE PRICE President’s Representative and British Minister at Variance on the Mexican Problem : it iy 5 ¢ HOLD TWO HOUR CONFERENCE AT MEXICO CITY Lind Moy Rewuain, in Mexican Capital Until & Settlement ot Crisis is Reached—An Ultimatum From United States to Huerta Expected in Mexico City—Carranza Offers to Capture Capital if Embargo on Arms is Raised. Mexico City, Nov. 7.—John Lind, | pected that there will be a determina~ President Wilson's personal represent- | tion of the policy to be pursued. ative in Mexico, was in conference here tonight for more than two hours with Sir Lionel Carden, the British minis- ter. Neither Mr. Lind nor Sir Lioncl ‘would repeat Tor publication the gist of their conversation, but it is believed that the opinlons of the two men differ widely regarding the Mexican problem and the part the United States should play In its solution. Lind's Stay Prolonged. It developed tonight that Mr. Lind’'s stay in the capltal would be longer than was anticipated. It is not im- probable that he would remain here until a final settlement or a final break in_the negotiations is recorded. Unwilling to admit another fallure on the part of Washington to bring about the elimination of President Huerta, John Lind, President Wilson's personal representative, nevertheless falled today to manifest any enthusi- aasm over the prospects of Huerta glv- ing up office. From his manner and his conversation he indicated that he believes the negotiations are nearing an end. An Ultimatum Expected. There was nothing at the American embassy today to indicate that a more favorable turn in the events is expect- ed, and there s reason to believe that an’ ultimatum, in its full diplomatic sense, soon will be handed Huerta, the time Nmit being brief. It is expected that thls new document will be so written as to bring an end to the rela- tlons between the two countries before Nov. 22, the date fixed for the conven- ing of the new congress, uniess Huerta sees fit to agree to the terms of the ‘Washington communication. Searcity of Silver. Mr, Lind today saw no Mexican gov- ernment official and probably will not see. ux{'aunu his stay in the capital, which 1t is believed will be short. Mr. Ling had o long conference today with O'Shaughnessy, the American daffaires. Silver was the most elusive thing In the capital today. The price of for- elgn exchanao stiffencd and a few merchants resorted to the plan of Is- sulng vouchers in the place of silver when making change. At some of the city banks the bank notes of certain ite banks were refused. This caused a slight panie among the holders of such paper. ’ UNITED STATES TO INSIST. Huerta’s Elimination. Washington, Nov. 7.—What shall the United States do in the event that Provisional (President Huerta refuses to resignt This question was dis- cussed at length today in the cabinet meeting, dut no decision as an- nounced. Formal reply to the latest American representations had not been Tecoived up to late today, and until definite answer comes it is not ex The discussion at the cabinet meet ing turned, however, to various alter- natives. Nothing concrete developed. it was sald, nor were there any tangi- ble conclusions, but members went away with fixed ideas of the determi~ nation of President Wilson that the American government should unwaver- ingly insist on the elimination of Huerta from the situation as the first step toward peace In the southern re- public, Lifting the embargo on arms so that the constitutlonalists may obtain mu- nitions of war was one of the princi= pal suggestions taken under consider- ation, but as yet there is no change in the neutrality attitude of the Wash- ington government. Press despatches today announcing to an extent Huerta’s purpose of re-- jecting the American demands made no impression on government officials. They had received no official commu- nication to that effect and would not comment ,they said, until they had. A hopefulness that Huerta would realize the certainty of future compli- | cations and eliminate himself from the situation was expressed by some offi- cials, but there was no information | available to indicate upon what such optimism might be based. Despatches from Berlin stating that Germany would consider a movement to bring the powers in support of the American policy only i such a step were desired by the Washington gov~ ernment led to the belief in many quarters that same movement might yet be developed in the situation to convince Huerta of the force of the American_viewpoint. Secretary Bryan declined to discuss this of any other phase of the situas on. REBEL LEADERS PROMISE. Will Capture Mexico City if Embargo is Lifted. Carranza, leader of the constitutional- ists, told Henry Allen Tupper of the International Peace Forum tonight that if the Unlted States would Iift the em-~ bargo on the exportation of arms to | Mexico, he could have 100,000+ well equipped men in the field in ninety days.
