THE ATLANTA < i •; IA .\ A.M) M- \VS. SPIT Radicals Call Present Quiet Calm O efore Storm—Drunken Stu dents Jeer Lind. SDecial Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. MEXICO CITY, Aug. 13.—Follow ing the conference between Special American Envoy John Lind and the Mexican Foreign Minister, Manuel Gamboa, the belief prevailed here to day that President Huerta would Juiopt a conciliatory attitude toward the United States, realizing the hope lessness of trying to combat the vast power of Mexico’s big neighbor. Callers at the National Palace de clared that in substance President Huerta had said: ‘While Mexico resents interference even from a friendly power In her domestic affairs, nevertheless we do not feel that we are in any way be ing coerced by the United States. We will make further protest against any efforts of Mr. Lind to settle af fairs in this republic if he attempts to do so, but such action on our part will not be of a bellicose nature.” Lind Makes Report. Mr. Lind is in constant communi cation with Washington and has no tified the State Department of his safe arrival here and of the apparent absence of any anti-American feel ing.
