TTTF: ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. Radicals Call Present Quiet Calm Before Storm—Drunken Stu dents Jeer Lind. Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. MEXICO CITY, Aug. 13.—Follow- ing th© conference between Special American Envoy John Lind and the Mexican Foreign Minister, ManueJ Gamboa, the belief prevailed here to day th^t President Huerta would adopt 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. "VVe 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. It is understood the Carranza reb els in Northeastern Mexico have communicated a desire to Mr. Lind to meet their representatives so that representations may be made in be half of formal recognition of the Car ranza forces as belligerents.

In fact, Mexico was assured before Sendr Diaz left Mexico that he would be received in an official capacity. A group of students from the Na tional Military Academy, who evi dently had indulged too freely in Mex ican rum, rttempted to make a hostile demonstration around the Hotel Las- curain, where Mr. Lind and his party are staying. They were driven away by rurales. Calm Before Storm. The situation here has remained quiet, but radicals among the support ers of Huerta declare it is only the calm before the storm. Conserva tives are counseling Huerta not to antagonize the United States. A delegation of planters called at the National Palace to-day and present ed a petition about as follows: “Having the good of Mexico at heart and desiring to attract foreign capital for the upbuilding of the Re public, we ask President Huerta to maintain the friendliest relations with the United States and not to take action of any nature whatsoever which might offend our peaceful al lies.” State Urged to Pay For Warship Silver By House Committee Payment of Georgia’s donation ’o th© silver service presented to the battleship Georgia, which has been deferred six years, was recommended Tuesdaye by a vote of 9 to 6, by the House Committee on Appropriations.
