i THE ATLANTA GEOKUIAN AND NEWS. TWAS ON A SUMMER’S DAY Copyright, 11*13, International News Service. 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. x Vs t " • '*</ \ V'* ' A#t> TtfEN HE "" '""im HARCtfEfi 'JNQ _r> ‘"v ThE duke TO ITALY FDR TRIAL Dangerous Crossing Cause of Injunction American Who Confessed Slaying Wife Declares Confidence of Acquittal.
