Will bo Discussed and lieplied
to.
Tho Huerta government, through
conferences in Mexico City between
John Unci, President's Wilson's personal
representative, and Foreign
Minister Clamboa, now knows tho
viewpoint of tho United States and its
desires for only a peaceful and
friendly solution of Mexico's trouble.
The formal communication Mr. Unci
bears was handed to Mexico Monday
when it also will be transmitted to
diplomatic representatives of foreign
powers in Washington.
What tho result of publishing
these views will be, oflicials at Wash
ington (lid not venturo to predict.
They have 110 assurances that the
Iluorta government will accept them,
but they believe the spirit thus far
shown by tho Iluorta ollicials justities
a hopeful feeling for the success
of Mr. land's mission.
Observers of the situation generally
look for a pronouncement of some
kind from Iluerta immediately following
the presentation of President
Wilson's message through Mr. hind.
It is expected in diplomatic circles
that President Iluerta will formally
announce a call for an early election
even setting the date.
Constitutionalists hitherto have
claimed they Aould not engage in
any election in which the Iluerta government.
exercised control over the
election machinery. The possibility
of an agreement, however, for the
non-partisan committee to conduct
tho election is being discussed and
should the situation actually progress
to that point it may be that informal
efforts will be made by Mr. Idnd to
secure participation by tho Constitutionalist
leader in such a plan.
Information, however, of only the
vaguest character has been forthcoming
from olllcials as to the eventualities
that would follow a possible
objection of President Wilson's ideas
by the Huerta government. There is
no intention at present of lifting tho
embargo on arms; in fact, the President
is said to have taken a strong
position against it, at least until all
peaceful means of settlement havo
been exhausted.
There is a confident and conspicuous
feeling of otpimism, however,
among administration officials that a
peaceful settlement is in eight, tho
they admit the delicacy of the sltuollnn

at this time of the circumstances 011
which their hopes are based.
Federico Gamboa, the Mexican
minister of foreign affairs, Saturday
night gave out the first statement
made by any Mexican official regarding
the messago sent to Provisional
President Huerta to President Wilson,
through his personal representative,
John Lind.
Minister Gamboa said tho Mexican
government would givo consideration
to the communication presented by
Mr. Lind and after fully discussing it
would make a reply.
This procedure is contrary to tho
opinion held generally the past week
regarding tho Mexican government's
attitude, it being assumed in view of
Gen. Huerta's note of August 6, in
which he characterized Mr. Lind as
being persona non grata unless he
brought proper credentials and recognition
of the Huerta administration,
that any message the ex-governor
brought would bo ignored.
At Mexico City on Monday it was
officially stated that tho United
States government has been given
until midnight by President Huerta
to recocnlrA Morlr?r?
The government Is not specific in
the public announcement as to what
course then will be pursued but it Is
understood that it means the severing
of all relations .between tlio two
countries.
Provisional President Huerta replying
to President Wilson note
which was recently delivered to the
Mexican government through ExGovernor
John Lind, refuses mediation
in the Mexican situation or any
similar suggestion made by a foreign
government. Mr. Lind has forwarded
General Huerta's answer to Washington
and is awaiting a reply.
President Huerta, in his reply, told
the United States that he would tolerate
no interference, even though
that interference might bo characterized
as friendly mediation. The character
of the reply of Washington to
President Huerta's note will determine
the next action in the international
drama.
All thoso connected with the American
embassy Monday refused to admit
the receipt of the note and that
it had been seat was not admitted
officially by the Mexican government.
At the embassy there was an evident
desire to appear optimistic and one
was led to believe that Mr. Lind still
hoped for a continuation of the negotiations.

workings of the Mexican administrav
DYNAMITE AT WINDOW |
MAYOR (J AY NOR OF NEW YORK,
WAS IN DANGER, 1
Explosion at City Hall Prevented by
Strip of Wool Wound Tightly
Around Raso of Fuse.
A deadly charge of dynamite,
three whole ten-inch sticks and two j
halves, with a fuse and detonation,
was discovered Thursday afternoon
near Mayor Gaynor's otlice window in
the City Hall at New York. The
bureau of combustibles found that
the explosive was 10 per cent, dynamite,
the regulation blasting proportion,
and the amount found would, if
exploded, have wrecked the City r
Hall. ^
The Mayor was in his ollioo when j
the dynamite was discovered by a cit- ,
izen passing through City Hall Park. t
Mr. Gaynor evinced little interest
when told of the explosives and re- "
mained apparently undisturbed at his
desk while police olllcers hurriedly ^
drew a cordon around the dynamite
to keep the crowd back.
Mr. Gaynor freouent.lv recelviM*
threatening letters, but he would 1
inalce no statement regarding tho
possible connection between any pre- j
vious throat by mail and the dynamite
found. It is just three months
ago last year that he was shot in the ^
hack by a crank and so badly wound- ^
od that for several days it was feared
he would die.
Close to tho explosive was a piece
of Chinese punk and several partly
burned matches. Tho dynamite and
fuse were wrapned in a piece of
heavy cambric. Tho cloth resembled
the fillets worn by Italian women of ^
the working class. .
Experts of the bureau of combustibles
said the only thing that prevented
a disastrous explosion was tho
presence of a strip of wool wound so
tightly about tho base of the fuse
that a spark could not reach the de- J
tonator. An edge of one dynamite ^
stick was scorched.
Police authorities say laborers
sometimes carelessly drop dynamite
sticks near their blasting operations.
There is an excavation shaft on the
Proadway side of City Hall Park
leading to the new subway construe- .
tion. Detectives are making a close ^
investigation of this location, ni
though contractors declare they do *
not use 4 0 per cent, dynamite in their '
operations.
I
tion expressed doubt as to the gov- 1
eminent again opening the subject
for discussion. ;
again opening the subject for discus- ,
sion.
Senor Urrutica, minister of the interior,
who on previous occasions lias
been the spokesman for the administration,
was tho person chosen to
make tho announcement that President
Huerta demanded recognition
by tlie United States by midnight.
Sonor Urratia refused to give out
the text of the correspondence between
Mr. Idnd and tho Mexican
government, but confirmed the fact
that an exchange of notes had takpn
place. Two notes from Mexico have
been sent, to Washington. The llrst
was reply to that delivered by Mr.
Lind, this note including the demand
for recognition of Mexico.
The second note was sent direct to
Washington and demanded that a reply
to the previous note bo made before
midnight. This is regarded hero
as an ultimatum. One official in discussing
this latter note said that Mexico
had reached the point whero she
either must how her head in humiliation
before the United States or adopt
an attitude of degance. Tho first contingency,
ho added, was regarded as
impossible.
Senator Lodge and Stone, Monday
morning were shown tho following
cablegram to Secretary Bryan from
Charge O'Shaughnessy, dated Monday
night, and received at four a. m.
Tuesday:
"Tho correspondents hrve cabled
that tho Mexican government has
stated that its note to Lind demands
that the United States recognize the
Huerta government before twelve
o'clock midnight to-day or a statepractically
to that effect.
"I brought the matter to tho urgent
attention of the minister of foreign
affairs at 10 p. m. He immediately
saw the president and Minister
Oom.bernairon, Senor IJurrutia,
who is supposed to have given out
the statement, anad ho authorized mo
to deny this statement to 77iy government,
as having no foundation in
fnpt "
Charge O'Shaughnessy cabled Secrotary
IBryan from Mexico City early
Tuesday that President Huerta, thru
Foreign Minister Gamboa, emphatically
denied there was any "foundation
whatever" for the statement that
Huerta has issued an ultimatum to
the United States demanding recogni tion
with the alternative of handing
Mr. O'Shaughnessy his passports.
A dispatch from John Hind informed
President Wilson and Secretary
Pryan that he had been in conference
with Provisional President Huerta at
an early hour Tuesday. He characterized
his reception and conference
with Huerta as "cordial".
Monday night's dispatches attributing
the announcement of an ultimatum
by Huerta, to Minister Urritia,
of the department of the interior,
stirred official circles at Washington
deeply.

MESSAGE TO CONGRESS
?
s Heing Prepared by President Wil- '
son Who Intends to Answer lluertu's
Intimation That His Attitude
is a Partisan One, Not Hacked by
the People.
President Wilson was at work
Thursday night on a special message
vliich lie probably will read to both
louses of Congress Monday, relating
n detail to negotiations conducted
hrougli his personal representative,
lolin hind, with tho Iluerta governnent
in Mexico. Tho decision to
nake a comprehensive statement on
ho situation to Congress was reachMi
Thursday after tho President had
\bout concluded that negotiations
>etween Mr. Hind and Provisional
President Iluerta, since tho exchange
if notes, had developed no new basis
'or discussion.

A'lll present tho two notes, setting
'ortli the American suggestions to
he Iluerta government and its re
jiy. cmouia mo road (no document
limself, which lie is being urged to 1
lo by members of his Cabinet and to f
which idea ho is strongly inclined, it ?
will ho the first time since the days i
if George Washington that a Presi- i
lent has communicated a matter of i
'oreign policy in person to the legis- >
ative branch of tho government. ?
There was a well defined belief in 1
>fi\cial circles that President Wilson '
liinks the reading of an address i
which will lay the American viewpoint
and the Huerta contentions be- i
'ore tlie Congress and tho people of <
his country, and which also will bo t
mado public to tho world generally, 1
an not but have an important effect 1

backed up by Congress or the Amerl- <
can pooplo in his stand against rec- 5

uuii <|ubciiuu in mu uniiuu ovaiUH, (
He intimates ^hat ho reaches his conclusion
on private advices from ,
Washington. ,
The Prefiident's message 1b expect- ,
ed to bo a partial answer to the intimations
of Provisional President
Huerta in his noto that President
Wilson stands out alono in his Mexican
policy and unsupported generally
In Congress.
The first refutation of this Huerta
supposition came In the Senate
Thursday when prominent Republicans
vigorously upheld the hands of
the President. The expressions of
confidence in the wisdom and good
faith of President Wilson were made
by several Republican leaders in succession
after Senator Penrose, of
Pennsylvania, Republican, had introduced
a resolution to require the
President to place United States
troops in Mexico to protect Americans.
No action was taken on the
resolution. The view at the White
House and State department was
that such a move in effect would be
an act of war.
Though negotiations between John
TJnd and Provisional President Huerta
are continuing on a cordial personal
basis neither side is receding
from its position. Alternative measures
are already under consideration.
No definite course lias been formulated,
but tho policy which at present is
under consideration and is most
likely to be adopted is one of absolute
non-interference.
Tho American government under
such a policy would continue to deny
arms to both sides, would withdraw
Americans from trouble zones, insist
on proper protection to property and
lives, and, in effect, let the Mexicans
continue their controversy on the bat
tietleld.
Tho administration is determined
against intervention or war, and the
other alternative, friendly mediation,
apparently has failed. Officials at
Washington believe the United States
through the mission of Mr. TJnd will
have satisfied foreign governments
generally of Its desire to bring about
peace and they do not conceive that
there will bo any pressure to bring
about intervention.
?
Alien l/and Law On.
It had been expected that tho Japanese
reply to the state department's
last note, regarding the protest
against the California alien land legMonday,
when that legislation becamo
effective, there has been no
further move in tho matter. Ambassador
Chlnda has served notice upon
Secretary Bryan, however, that the
islation, would be submitted before
Japanese answer will be forthcoming
in due course.

Under the caption "Will Governor

vith headlines four columns wide
itiil extending nearly half way down

which has b?on one of the

vtll, no doubt, be read with interest
>y the people of South Carolina, parieularly
in view of the oft-repeated
leelaration of the Governor that lie
vill be in the race for the United

That Governor Cole L. Hlease will

Recent actions of the Governor

The Intelligencer does not care to

Every citizen is familiar with the
facts and will express himself as
either favoring or condemning this
particular act as well as the Governor's
whole course during his administration,
at the polls in the next
election, In case the Governor offers

Governor himself has declared that,

Punishment of Men of Fleet \\ ho ^
Participated in Destruction of s')
Property, Severely Scores Citizens <(
Who Abused Sailors and Flag.
Secretary Daniels has directed the %v'<
punishment of tlie sailors of the Pa- 0,1
ciflc reserve Hoot, who participated in 1 i(
the destruction of the Industrial 1,1
Workers of the World and Socialists' ("
property in Seattle July 17-1S, if (''
they can be identified,though he so- 1,1
verely condemned the civilians who 0,1
abused the sailors and the American
flag. gr
The Secretary's action was based gr
on a report by a board of investiga- in
tlon headed by Commander Thomas ca
Washington. The board found that so
for some tlmo before the rioting at co
Seattle there had been attacks on the he
flag, the government and particular- of
ly upon the army and navy in the hi
Pacific seaport cities calling them- ag
selves members of the Industrial
Workers of the World and to some th
extent by so-called Socialists. The pi
civil authorities, the report said, al- si
lowed spectators to harangue crowds 1(5
and engender ill feeling resulting in si
the attack upon the soldiers and two ta
sailors July 17. This led to the V
burning and destruction of property tr
on the following night.
The board placed direct blame for ()f
the action of tin4 crowd, led by civilians
and including only a small pro- jj]
portion of enlisted men, on the falllire
of the police force to prevent the
destruction of property because of u,
their sympathy with the purposes of jt
the crowd. Furthermore, the board
llVI\l<AOtia/l 4lw. /,l,l 41. ..4 4 I. /.
un!? vooi <t in< ujlllliuil UllU Lll?I llUHUg ||
was attributable to general sentiment
against the Industrial Workers of the m
World and the criticism of the press ,n
and that the presence of the enlisted w
men was made to serve the purpose t)
of accomplishing an end which the
better element of people desired and
si
the press encouraged.

In passing on this report, transmittod
by Hear Admiral Reynolds, ^
Secretary Daniels declared that while
the conduct of thoso who denounced (,
and assaulted soldiers was most rep- '
rehensiblo and deserving condomnaa
tion "their violent language, unprovoked
assault 011 soldiers and law- ,,
lessness doesn't justify retaliation in ?
kind".
r
The Secretary recalled his statement
in a speech in Seattlo that
abedience to authorities in respect to ^
the flag must precede any reforms.
Ho expressed regret that tho sailors
had permitted themselves to forget
their duty to uphold tho law which
they had sworn to uphold and added
that their conduct In Seattlo was t(
against tho naval regulations and ^
couldn't bo condoned or allowed to 1
go without punishment. 0
Admiral Reynolds was directed to a
have tho Secretary's letter read on 11
the ships of tho fleet and to have tho *
| men engaged in tho affair punished j
In such a manner as the admiral
might Judge adequate for the offence.
So far as known none of the sailors
participating In the affair have been
identified.
Rear Admiral Edward F. Reynolds
in transmitting Secretary Daniels'
letter, appends a direction to com- c
manders of all ships of the Pacific ^
reserve fleet, to read the Secretary's 1
statoment at muster, hut adds that as I
it has been impossible to obtain ^
proof of the participation of any specified
in tho determination it will bo t
