Special Ambassador Finds Way to
Communicate With President
Despite Threats.
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
MEXICO CITY. Aug. 14.-Special
Envoy John Lind, sent here on a
diplomatic mission by President Wil
son. finally has established direct
communication with President Huerta
despite Huerta’s repeated announce
ments that he would not recognize
Cind as an Ambassador or receive
him officially.
It was learned here to-day that
Foreign Minister Gamboa is the
agency through which Mr. Lind was
able to communicate with President
Huerta, although it is not known
whether or not Charge d’Affaires
O’Shaughnessy has presented the note
brought by Mr. Lind from the State
Department.
It has begun to appear that Huer
ta s bluff of defiance has been called.
No steps have been taken by the
Mexican Government for the expul
sion of Mr. Lind, although President
Huerta declared this would be done.
Indications are that Lind's presence
will be tolerated, although the Gov
ernment will not go out of its way to
assist him in bringing peace.
War Minister Blanquet to-day is
sued a statement to the Mexico City
newspapers, based on the Federal vic
tory at Torreon.
“The result of that fight, which was
an overwhelming victory for the Gov
ernment, proves conclusively that we
are able to maintain our own ” said
Blyanquet. “The Government forces
are winnirg in every section of the
republic, and we will soon be able to
restore peace without outside aid.
“Despite all the hindrances thrown
in our way by the United States Gov
ernment, we have been making prog
ress since Victoriano Huerta was
elected President. President Huerta
is a constructive executive. In ad
dition to restoring peace he is build
ing up a strong diplomatic corps
abroad and is inviting the investment
of foreign capital.”
Mrs. Lind, wife of the envoy', who
was indisposed upon her arrival here,
has recovered. Her ailment arose
chiefly from fear for her husband’s
safety.
Ambassador Lind now has head
quarters at the United States Em
bassy.
Diaz to Offer Valuable
Concessions to Japanese.
MEXICO CITY. Aug. 14.—It was
learned here to-day from an authentic
source that Colonel Felix Diaz, en
route to Japan to thank Japan for
taking part in the Mexican centennial,
carries with him a proposal for val
uable concessions to Japan upon the
west coast.
The Government hopes to establish
a big Japanese colony In Sinaloa and
Sonora, where small farms will be
conferred upon each immigrant who
promises to remain in the republic
and respect its laws. Marine and fish
ing concessions will be offered to a
Japanese Government steamship line
and a big depot for coaling ships
may be built near Guayamas.
The Foreign Department is striving
to get on familiar relations with Ja
pan for a number of reasons. The
principal one. it is pointed out. Is that
Mexico’s ranks of workers have been
decimated by war and labor is needed
here.
Fresh capital is sought and it is
believed that Japanese are as efficient
as any others in opening up the coun
try’s resources.
Envoy Wilson Regarded
As Deliberate Meddler.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.—The
sensational re-entrance of Henry
Dane Wilson into the Mexican sit
uation has brought the administra
tion face to face with the dilemma
of either discharging the Ambassa
dor at once or of ignoring his at
tacks on the British Foreign Office,
which, coming from a man still a
member of the American diplomatic
service, is unprecedented. Ambassa
dor Wilson's statement is regarded in
administration circles as a deliberate
attempt to muddle a situation which
was beginning to clear satisfactorily.
The progress Envoy Lind has been
making in Mexico City in bringing
about a condition of affairs favor
able to the presentation of the Presi
dent's proposal is taken to mean that
he has all the qualifications of a
trained diplomat for the difficult task
in which he is now engaged. The
feeling is growing that the risk of
serious trouble with Mexico over his
entrance into the treacherous arena
of Mexican politics has passed.
State Department officials refuse to
say whether they expect Mr. Lind to
call on President Huerta to-day. al
though there is a strong impression
that he will do so.

ate Amendment.

the charter of Marietta to give the
Cobb County city a commission form
of government was adopted by the
House Thursday morning by a vote
of 98 to 4.

the House, but was referred back
by the Senate, which had added an
unimportant amendment.
The bill provides that the propo
sition to change the charter shall be
submitted to the people of Marietta
at a special election to be called by
the Mayor within 30 days.

brought forth the usual fight between
the members of the Cobb County del
egation. Mr. Cheney is the author of
the bill.

Cheney’s measures, endeavored to
gain the passage of an amendment
that the commission should not as

declared the Moss amendment would
kill his bill, and asked the House to
vote it down. The amendment was
