MEXICO CITY, Aug. 6.—Prominent members of the American colony to day expressed the opinion that the administration at Washington had made a mistake in removing Ambas sador Henry Lane Wilson at this time. President Wilson’s action in sending | John Lind, former Governor of Min nesota, here on a special mission has given Provisional President Huerta another excuse to protest against out side Interference. That Huerta is be coming exceedingly angry at the Washington Government is evident. Two unofficial envoys have been sent here within the past six months to study the situation and to re port to President Wilson on actuil conditions and their presence has piqued Huerta. Jingoes are making capital out of the present status of affairs by de daring that the United States is afraid of Mexico and will not make any move which would inflame the populace.
