The message’ to the president was essentially a summary of all the transactions between Mr. Lind and Huerta. While no details were made public it is understood both the United States and the Huerta government feel that they can now resume terms on a firmer basis. There were persistent reports current that Huerta had stated he would make public announcement of his intention not to be J a candidate in the coming election, but -they lacked confirmation hi official quarters. William Bayard Hale sailed this afternoon on the steamer Morro Castle for Havanna. He will disembark there and proceed by the Key West route to Washington.

Band Concert Enlivened by Splendid Aid of a Visitor.
