OUTLOOK IN MEXICO GREATLY IMPROVED.

New Mexican Minister Of Foreign Relations Says That He Has Faith In Our Policy. *

Secretary Bryan is optimistic and official circles at Washington are relieved by a turn in the affairs in Mexico, where the new secretary of foreign relations, Frederico Gamboa, has issued a statement to the effect that he has great faith in the United States and its efforts to restore peace's!n that country and that he feels certain that the misunderstanding between the two countries will soon be adjusted. The safe arrival in Mexico of John Lind, the envoy of the administration, and the failure of the Mexicans to indulge in any antiAmerican demonstrations has exploded the reports of the tenseness of the situation, and Mr. Lind after arriving at Mexico City installed himself in the temporary offices of the U. S. embassy as official adviser to the American Charde d’affairs, Nelson O’Shaughnessy. Mr. Lind will hold conferences with Americans in his effort to inform himself and the state department of conditions there. The Huerta government has evidently decided that nothing can be gained by kicking over the traces. If the jjonstitutionalists continue their warfare, however, as seems probable, it will doubtless not be long until affairs there’ are just as grave as at any former time, even though the present crisis passes without serious consequences.
