HUERTA STALLING ON MEDIATION PLAN

Says That Not* From President Wilson is Not Backed by the U. S. Congress. Matters are developing slowly in Mexico and it is difficult to tell way Huerta, the usurping president, is apt to jump. 'He blames all the trouble his country is having to the fact that he has not received recognition from the United States. The proposals of the Washington government to Huerta through Envoy Lind were as follows: First—Complete cessation of hostilities; second, that President Huerta resign in favor of a president ad interim; third, the fixing of an early date for the presidential elections, and fourth, that Huerta be not a candidate fat the presidency. The United States will hold to a firm policy of non-intervention, says President Wilson, and it is not probable that arms will be permitted to be sent from this country to Mexico, as that would simply create anarchistic conditions and extend the trouble. Envoy Lind is received cordially by Huerta, says the dispatches, notwithstanding claims from other sources that Lind’s visit is very undesirable. Niether Lind nor Huerta have judged from the position taken at the start and when the rupture will occur is not suggested by messages from Mexico City.
