FEEL APPREHENSION IN MEXICO CITY Official Negotiations With United States Have Ceased—Another Madero Adherent Is Slaughtered. (By Dally News Leased Wire.) MEXICO CITY, Aug. 24.—The keen* oat anxiety was manifested here today as to what will be tlie development of the undertaking of the United State government in .Mexico's internal affairs. Mexico's altitude Is one of waiting, while the people resident here, both native and foreign, are displaying deep apprehension, Huerta May Resign. That President Huerta will make public tomorrow the correspondence between the two countries is now a matter of doubt. Rumors continue that Huerta Is still considering resigning, possibly in favor of Gen. Tre- vino, but there is no sound basis for this assertion. Those close to the executive insist that he will not alter the stand he has taken, and will await Washington's next move. The pub- He opinion is expressed here that there will be a swift culmination, of all peaceable relations If congress is given an opportunity for free debate on President Wilson's statement of the facts in the case. Senor Gamboa, minister of foreign affairs, denies the reports that Mexico will make any proposal to the United States, but expresses the hope that Washington might reply to Mexico's note rejecting tho American demnnds. Mr. Lind, President Wilson's personal representative, maintains cordial relations with the foreign office, but little has been done during the past few dayB by him which would be calculated to alter the situation. At present official negotiations have ceased, Mr. Lind being now a, spectator of events rather than an actor. It is not expected that he will leave hero before President Wilson's message is read.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.—Besides Great Britain, Franco and Japan, practically all the Central nnd South American countries are lending their support to the efforts of the United StateB to bring about a peaceful settlement of the Mexican rebellion. Unless satisfactory overtures are made by the Huerta government before Tuesday President Wilson will proclaim In person in a message to both houses of congress the principle that constitutional government alone can be recognized in Mexico. He will also outline the burden of the United States proposals for the elimination of Huerta. That the United States is backed by a world-wide sentiment In Its peace policy Is conceded ln diplomatic circles here. Tangible evidence of the attitude of France came today In news despatches from Paris stating it was practically certain thnt President Poincare'and Foreign Minister Pinchon would not roceive Fran- cisco do la Barra, appointed minister (Continued on page seven.)

They declared that when thc evidence they have Collected is made public, it will cause the court of appeals to decline to Join the- senate In a trial and that this will cause tho whole matter to fall to the ground, as the senate would have no power under the constitution to proceed alone with the trial.

Gossip From a Mountain Garden In th* Country The hills and the sea An' the world and me, An' the hush o' the lovely places; The chine white road An' the hay new-mowed An thp men wi' sunburnt faces: The cool of a hedge on a mountain ledge Where a wee Blrame wildly races. The drowsy cry Of a frightened fly That a wee bird chucklln' chases— And them as will Can nve their fill 'i' the roar and sob O* the greedy mob Thnt crowds the city places. —St. .lohn K. Ervlne, In Pall Mall Oastette. I could not resist quoting this quaint lilting poem with its little touch of the brogue ,so exactly does it voice my sentiments as I sit here overlooking the cool greenery of the garden nd lake, and compare my lot with that of the city dweller. 1 do not believe the most exacting person could ■suggest a single improvement in this duy. I bad u most unique experience this morning unique that Is, for me, of seeing the sunrise. I started my day at half-past four, and from that time, when the whole eastern sky was flushed to glowing golden rose, till now when the afternoon sun Is blazing down on ihe orchard, there has not been ft single (law In the perfection of the weather. A gentleman from ihe prairies remarked to me the other duy, when I was condoling with him because his iirst summer in the Kool enays had been rather cold and wet, and of course telling him bucIi weather was quite "exceptional"—you know the sort of thing one always says—that when we did get a fine day it wus such a superlatively fine one, that one forgot ull ahout the bad ones, and this Is Just such a one, I always take heitrt of grace when I see the western sky take on that exquisite rose tint at sunset; nowhere that I have ever been have I seen more wonderful gradations of color in the sky than here, about this time of year, when the days are warm and still, with perfect blue skies, and Just a suspicion of a snap In the air towards evening. Then against the deep dark green of the mountain tops appears a golden splendor whieh change* to rose, and every tint of the opal violet, puro green and saffron-yellow ere it melts into the heavenly blue of tho eastern sky. Perhaps there are a few flying clouds hovering about bo turned into wreaths of rose colored chiffon, but to me It is most beautiful In Its clear Immensity, growing momently more lovely until the oven ing star appears, to add a final grace Last night wus lhe first time I have noticed this wonderful transformation scene this year, and I hope it presages as usual a long spell of fine weather. What a lot of perfectly good daylight we miss by not having the same time us the Crow's Nest people keep. Now' 'that the days are so short It seems a double pity, for the sun comes o the hill at 0 o'clock and unless ont a very early riser whole hours of sunshine are wasted.- I believe a great many of the country people who are not chained to town by business c nectlons are able to get along nicely by putting their clocks on an hour, W tried It at camp and were loath to change buck to the old time again. It does seem too bad that just because we happen to live to the west of Kootenay Landing we have to be cheated out of a good hour of daylight every day in tlie year. Wouldn't this be a good time to start a crusade for "more light"? I hate to say It, but there is a nip in the air these nights that, says "sum mer is going," and if that were not enougli the prevalence of yellow and purple in tho garden would aloni herald the coming of autumn. Hav< you ever noticed how thc season o bloom Is ushered in by the yellow and purple flowers and when autumn comes marching over the hills it the same two tints that greet he When the golden glow, the ga'lllardli and marigolds begin lo bloom, then 1 know it is ahout time one prepared to say good-hy to tlie garden for other year, though It is rather foolish to feel like that, when it is only tin middle of August and there are two good months of bloom ahead of us yet. But that reminds me, if you want to move Oriental popples now Is the time, before fall growth commences, and it will soon be time to plant peonies and madonna lilies. None of these things can be planted safely In the spring though occasionally they will survive. Seedlngs of perennial! such as foxglove, larkspurs and canterbury bells should be ready to set out now. In order to get well established before cold weather. Those wet days were fine for that sort of work und I set out several hundred smalt Hcedltngs. which ure coming along nicely, but the mln worked havoc ln another direction for a lot of bulbs which hnd been heeled In started Into new growth and as they simply had to be lifted and dried off I fear their constitution will be weakened. This Is Just the right kind of day to cut your store of herbs for winter use, though my sage nnd thyme would have been better If harvested some time ago. 1 wus reading last night of a real old fashioned herb garden and wishing I had a suitable place for one but though everyone cannot have a place of sweet odors with plats laid off for each kind of herb everyone who has even a bit of back yard can grow enough sage, summer savory, thyme, parsley, mint and sweet marjoram to supply a family and Incidentally give the housewife tho reputation of being a wonderful cook. No one who uses the ordinary dried herbs can have any idea of the difference in flavor of all sorts of savory dishes thut Is secured by thc use of home-grown and cured herbs. I suppose one must have lived in an old fashioned farm house to really appreciate the tang and pungency of the real article. Don't you remember the attic room where bunches of all sorts of things, tansy, hore- hound, catnip and caraway were hung as well ns the culinnry herbs, and tho delicious aroma that greeted your nostrils when you stepped into the old kitchen say on Hallow'cvt* und smell- ed the "stulHn" of the turkey which was always cooked on that day as reg- ulurly as on Thanksgiving. Then of course you remember that indescribable whiff of lavender that haunted grandmother's linen press, und the leaf of sweet mary or sweet briar she always carried slipped between the pages of her hymn-book. Indeed, I believe most people whose childhood was spent in quiet country places, thirty or forty years ago will find their memories linked on to the scent of t*he many herbs and sweet-smelling plants so much in use in the old home, If j-ou have not already your litllo patch of herbs, be sure and have it next year. All these things will grow from seed, and sage, thyme and mint are perennial and once established will grow on Indefinitely. Summer savory and sweet marjoram must be sowed every year, while parsley is a biennial; lavender is hest grown from cuttings if you cannot get a root, as It ts rather difficult to raise It' from seed, It Is one of my ambitions to have a lavender hedge one dny, but my garden Is so crowded that I don't quite know whore it will go. The bushes I havo are covered now with their misty purple blossoms which must be cut before they have faded. This year I set out a lot of small plants at the various turnings of the paths so. that as 1 go through the garden I can always pinch a leaf between my fingers and sniff the clean Invigorating odor, but some day E am going to have a really narrow path edged on both sides with lavender, so when one walks along one will be literally drenched with sweetness. The hardy phlox is the brightest tiling in the garden now, and It too has a breath of sweetness that pervades the whole place as soon as the sun sinks. I have had great difficulty In getting plants from lhe east lo llye, about half of a big lot I got this .spring being dead, but a few of those planted last year are In bloom, and are wonderfully beautiful and much superior in size and color to the old sorts. There ls one, of which unfortunately I have.lost the name, which Is a glorious Bhade of orange red quite different from anything I huve ever seen In this class of plants, The white phlox, sweetest scented, nnd most profuse bloomer of al), of which I grow quantities, was badly spoiled by the rain which leaves it looking very bedraggled. A few asters nre showing but are very late thiB year, and I fear are not up lo the mark, many of mine coming faulty nnd quite a few fulling a prey to that drend disease "the yellows," I do not know of any cure for this, and as soon ns the disease shows itself In a bleaching of the folloge, one might better pull the plants up and burn them. How many of you know the gable gypsophlla or Imhy's breath? As a rule 1 think doubling'a flower spoils It, but this is the exception, for the double form is for prettier than the single, both for mixing with cut flowers or as a specimen plant In the gar- den. These plants If given lota of room and sunshine form iinrm-ni globe-shaped bushes, which are masses of foamy whiteness. They need a good strong support, indeed though tied mine to strung stake* with heavy cord they have broken down with th« mass of bloom, and another year shall try having them grow through i hoop set on good stout stakes. They do not grow from seed, but one goot root will give you an inexhuustlbb supply for cutting, the bloom lusting in good condition weeks after tlu single variety has gone to seed.

MONTREAL, Aug. 24.~-In a match replete with thrills from every angle, the Irish-Canadians took a stronger hold on the Big Four championship by defeating the Tecumaehs on Saturday by the odd goal In nine. From the beginning of the play the winners were the aggressors, and although the Indians equalled their score on more than one occasion, the Irishmen would again draw away into its lead. There was little advantage to be claimed hy either team until the final quarter, when Cumminga assured the victory, scoring twice. The penalties wore more numerous In this match than any played ln Montreal this season, no less than seven players being sent to the bench. There wero 20 changes made, the majority of them in the third quarter. The slippery condition of the ground along with the closeness of the scoring gave the game an appearance of being rougher than It waa, although on several occasions players accepted an opportunity to even up old scores as this was the final Meeting of thc Irishmen and Indians Oils-season. NEWSY LALONDE DRAWS CROWD; NATIONALS WIN TORONTO, Aug. 24.—The fame of Newsy Lalonde drew a larger crowd to Scarborough Beach yesterday than Is generally expected for a tall end of the season game, and the people who turned out saw an excellent exhibition of lacrosse. Thc Nationals defeated the Torontos by tbe close score of B-8, but if it bad not been for lbe excellent goal keeping of L/Heureux the Blue Shirts might havo pulled out a vlc- .tory ln the second half. Thc nationals started with a rush and bombarded the Toronto goal from tho' very start. Newsy Lalonde, getting 'right in on top of Holmes, who had one of his good days, stopped a good many, but a few were bound to get by. Barry, the new Toronto defence player, had the job of looking after Lalonde in the first half, and Newsy was checked very close. He was hurt once In the first quarter, but came back fresher than ever. SARATOGA RESULTS. (By. Daily NewM Leased Wire.)

AMERICANIZATION OF SPORTS FEARED Half Million Dollar Fund to Send British Team to Olympic Games Is Criticized. (Bv Dally New« Leased Wtr*» 1 LONDON, Aug. 24.—The great Olympic fund -of $500,000 Is not rolling up us fast as the promoters expected. An appeal for this amount to provide adequately for the British team which Is to be sent to the Olympic games in Berlin in 1910 was issued on August 17. It was signed by Karl Grey, Lord Roberts, the Duke of Westminster and many other prominent men. but at the end of tbe first week only $25,000 bad been subscribed. Of this amount $10,000 wob subscribed by I„ord North- cllffe and $5,000 by the Duke of Westminster, while Sir Thomas Lipton and H. G. Selfrldge each gave $500. The project bas met with strong opposition notwithstanding that Lord Roberts' name, which beaded the appeal, is usually the most potent Influence a' patriotic cause can have. Most of the criticisms are made on tbe ground that the wholesale Bubsldlzizng of athletics would foster professionalism and would be contrary to wholesome sport, reference being made to the attempted "Americanization" or Bport, It being believed that the American spirit is to win by any means and that American athletes care more for prizes nnd medals than for sports.

EIGHT HUNDRED ENTER MATCHES Big Dominion Rifie Meet Will Open at Rockellffe Ranges Today—To Name Palma Team. (Bv Dally New* L'-anw-i Wire.) OTTAWA, Aug. 2-1.—Thc Dominion of Canada Rifle association matches will open at Rockiitfe ranges on Monday.' During the last few years rifle shooting lias grown to great proportions in Canada* und few countries ln the world turn out as many expert riflemen in proportion to population. Even the mutches at Bisley, perhaps the greatest annual rifle meet in the world, do not have bo very many more entries all through the meet than does the Dominion Itifle association. The scoring at the Dominion Rifle association meet compares well with the scores lu the national matches in the United States and tho number of entries is not so very far behind in spite of the big difference In population. There will be about 800 entered this year throughout the matches. They como from all parts of the Dominion aud It is expected that every province will have a team here. While for many years there wns a steady growth in the attendance at the annual meeting the past three or four years have been the most remarkable in this respect. Last year there wore about 650 in the competitions. The new pointed bullet will be used at the matches this yenr and it is generally believed that tho stores at the meet will be the best in the history of thn association. Tlie great number coming will tax tho accommodations of the range, Capt. G. A. Hell will be chief executive officer of the meet. The council of the Dominion Rifle association will meet on Monday morning and it Is expected that it will lie decided who will bo the team to represent Canada for the Palma trophy.

To carry It out he called the newly Instituted parcels post to his aid. This Kansas merchant was carrying a number of small debts, and the cash on delivery system with regard to parcels suggested to him a very brilliant manoeuvre. He filled a number of boxes with paper waste. On the top he placed the receipted bill. Then he sealed on the' covers, nnd despatched the parcels. True a five-cent stamp was required for each box, and ten cents for tbe C: O. D. fee. But what of that! It was only a trifling outlay in the contemplation of the returns the cunning merchant anticipated. And he was not disappointed. For we are told that next day tbe returns began to conje In. Almost every bad debtor made good. The postofflce, according to regulations, would not part with the package until its value bad been received for delivery. For the rest curiosity did Its work. The consignee fell a prey to the weakness, paid, opened and found "an Insulting receipt for a long owed debt." We read that the matter is occupying tbe attention of the courts as to whether the action of tlie Kansas man. In so making use of the parcels post, was strictly legal. However the decision, wo cannot help admiring the merchant for bis Ingenuity *.i devising his little scheme for obtaining that which really belonged to him. WATER RIGHTS The arrangement reached between the Dominion and provincial governments relative to tbe administration of water rights in the railway belt, announcement of which was made in The Daily News recently, in the opinion of the Victoria Colonist, will give general satisfaction. The local authorities will now bo able to go ahead and adjudicate on various contentious matters that have beon outstanding for a long time past. It can readily be recognized that it is much better that the control should be vested in the provincial government, for it has a water board of its own that is continually touring the province and adjusting differences. We understand that in almost every Instance lis findings are accepted without demur, so that, as well as being of practical SNAP AFTER THE HIKE CLEAN UP WITH SNAP THE SOAP 'lN THE i "TIN f THAT 15 6000 ' WBi-JHE SKIN AT ALL DEALERS utility, it Is also a, popular body. Through It tbe government Is now engaged In making a survey of the water powers of the province. This board Is continually placing Itself In a position to know at first band the equity of all claims made to water rights. In this way It has a great advantage over tlie federal authorities, which could not procure the same Information without considerable expense, and the employment of a permanent Btaff of officials in British Columbia. On this ground alone It can he recognized why It ls better that the Jurisdiction should be in the hands of the provincial authorities rather than have them administering some of the water powers in British Columbia, whilo others were left to the Dominion, which might not consider the various matters arising ao of sufficient importance to demand immediate action; Tbe credit for having brought about this admirable state of affairs is due very largely to the representations made by Mr. W. R. Ross, the minister of lands, during a recent visit of his to Ottawa. The presence of the Dominion government officials In the city during the last few days was the final step In Investing the province with full powers In the railway belt as far as the administration of water rights is concerned. With the opening up of settlement ln the railway belt, the water rights there will become of increasing importance, and it Is well to know thnt from this time on all claim-. will be adjudicated upon without delay and In the hest interests of the province. What the Press Is Saying Canadian Security The security offered by Canadian municipalities to the money-lender Is gilt-edged. It could not be better.

On the contrary here we have municipalities that live up to every obligation incurred.— Quit Reporter. Our Trade Maintained Considering that In Canada, us in every other part of the World.

This Day in Canadian History < L'pon Aug. 25, 1805, there died at Qutbec Peter llunter, lleutenant-gov- rnor of Upper Canada, and also the iMiiniandcr-in-chief nf the forces In "anada. In the army he held the rank f lieutenant-general, nnd he was so much occupied with hl» military *iiitl«*a that he spent hut a small proportion of his six years* term of office I" t'p- per Canada. Hut then, the stories that go to show that he made at least some attempt to remedy the abuses growing up in thai province. For Instance, on b's first arrival al Vork in 1700,11 deputation from som.. Quaker settlers, h'.gh Up Vongp street, waited upon him to complain of the difficulty they had in obtaining patent,, for their lend*, The ortcr for these was over 12 months old, but they had been sent about from one official to another, and still lhe deeds wer,. not forthcoming. The governor heard the story, desired them to come to him again next day, sent orders to the officials complained Of to appenr at the same time made it brief but rigorous Investigation, fixed ihe blame on the regis, trar of the province, and pave him -IS hours to have the patents made out— which was done! The Weather Mining New s HAVE RICH ORE AT INLAND EMPIRE Reports of Strike Are Confirmed— Much Development Hat Been Car* ried Out en Large Property I'AL'LSON, B.C., Aug. 24. -The reports of the recent strike of rich ore encountered at the properties of the Inland Mining Company, Limited, situated at Paulson, B.C., are now confirmed and the conditions are very much better than fins I anticipated, the vein being 6 ft. ln width, opening up an enormous body of high grade ore, carrying values as high as $940 per ton in gold and sliver. The first or the group of claims owned by the Inland Mining Company, Limited, was located In 1900. The locators In doing lbe necessary development work uncovered two large ledges, which showed very good values In gold and silver, from the very commencement. Thc locators with some associates continued work on the claims periodically until 1906, by which time they had about 300 ft. cf development work done, practically all In ore, and a shaft 130 ft. deep, showing the ledges to be large and permanent and carrying very good values. In the latter part of 190G a company was organised which look over the Inland Empire claim, and the Saginaw fraction and disposed of sufficient stock to enable It to Install the neccossury equipment, Including hoists, air compressor, etc., and a saw mill with a capacity or 10,000 ft. dally. About *tbe end of 1911 a ten stamp mill was creeled which has run nearly constantly ever since. About a year ago hydraulic classifiers and Rldson Johnson vannors were Installed In the mill In addition to the Wllfley tables, and the loss in milling ban constantly been reduced to Q very small percentage. It is the Intention of thc manager and directors to continue vigorously the development work in order to increase materially the already large tonnage of ore and arrangements will also be made for sorting the ore taken out during this development work for the purpose of shipping the high grade ore, and ultimately to erect a mill of 200 or 300 tons dally capacity, and a twelve drill air compressor and a BOO horsepower byro-electrlc plant, although this has not as yet been definitely decided, as the electric power may be purchased from tlie West Kootenay Tower & Light Company of Bonnlngton*, to supply the necessary power and light and dispense with steam, which Is used at the present time. Through the efforts of the officials, the company's holdings at the present date have Increased from one claim and one fraction to ten claims and three fraction". The Kmplre vein on which the recent strike has been made througli sinking a winze 40 ft. from the 70 ft. level, has been exposed by outcrops, crosscuts, shafts and drifts for a total distance of 8400 ft. Parallel to the Umpire vein, about 1000 ft. distant, runs the Merlin vein which also shows very good values and has been exposed for 4600 ft. by the same methods us used on the Empire. Up until July 1, 1913, over 1400 ft. of actual development work has been done on thc Empire claim alone, aud many thousands of tons of ore bas already been blocked out. A great deal of credit Is given lo the directors and stockholders who are nearly all residents of Walla Wallu, Wash-, for their untiring efforts fn developing this property, as there are so many excellent showings all around this neighborhood, that It appears lhat the opening up of the Inland Mining company's properties will eventually open up a mining camp of unmensunible magnitude. Quite a- number of prospectors are proving up their properties lu Ibis locality at- present, and on one of T. II. Paulson's claims, which is situated about a mile and a half from the Inland mines, quite a large ledge of iron and copper sulphides has been found which carries very good values in gold and sliver, IT. Griswold, who Was one or the locators of the Inland mine, along with his two associates, K. liilllngsly and A, Boillie, are doing extensive development work on their property, and expect to ship ore In the near future.

LONDON, Aug. 2*1.—The recurrence of .labor unrest In many forms is evidenced by the fact that half a dozen strikes arc now In progress in London. Thousands of men are already affected, and there arc threats of still further trouble. In almost every case there Is a demand for increased wages, although the question of trade union flgnres In some disputes. The building trades are the most affected, i Any moment r.0,000 laborers in tin metropolis may adopt a "down tools" policy and their action would involve another 150,000 skilled artisans. Laborers are asking for a code of rules, an increase of wages and the same treatment as that meted out lo skilled workmen. The renovation nf Buckingham palace, It is understood. Is In no danger of being delayed by tlu* strike, as the men have no grievances against the contractor who has the work in hand.

MONEY MARKET GROWS LESS TIGHT Grand Trunk Chairman le Optimistic- English Trade Record—To Retain Bueineee for Canada. (By Dally News Leased Wire.) QUEBEC, Aug. 24.—A. W. Smtthers. chairman of the Grand Trunk board of directors, arrived from England on Saturday night by the Btenmer Lauren- tic on bis annual visit to Canada. He waa met in this city by E. J. Chamber- lln. president, and W. Walnwright. vice-president of the Grand Trunk system. The trio will travel over the Transcontinental railway from Quebec to Winnipeg, starting on Monday, on a tour of inspection. Mr. Smitbers made it clear in nn (n. tervlew that the Grand Trunk Pacific will not divert the western trade of Canada via Cochrane Junction to United Statei ports. The company never had any Biich Intention nor any wish to act disloyally to the Canadian government and the company realized that the success of the Grand Trunk Pacific depended on the good will of tlio Canadian people, he said. Mr. Smitbers, speaking of financial conditions In England, said: "In regard to English finances, tho '£ per cent rate adopted by the Hank of Englnnd for some months has done Its work, as it always does In attracting gold from all parts of Europe and Brazilian states, South America, etc.. with the result that up to three weeks ago the amount of gold and proportionate reserves for liabilities were never under what It was a year ago. "Up to three weeks ago the Bunk of England received £1.800,000, with the result that when I left England tlie situation showed an improvement, both In amount of gold held and the proportion to reserved liabilities, equal to last year, and there Is every appearance that gold will continue to arrive for unother month before the autumn days Bet In. Financial Conditions Better. "If this nroves to be the egBfl, the bunk will bo In a good financial condition tiiis autumn and in a stronger position than a year ago and If ihe policy on the part of the underwriters Is carried on of making Issues which are absolutely necessary I tliluli it ls QUltfl possible that we may ^et through the year on a 4 "6 per cent rate. But if the underwriters take too snngulne a view or the situation and do not continue lo keep the brake on this view may be upset. Trade ln England Is greater than ever before; liiBt year was a record Then Imports and exports this year ate standing at over Cl.-iOoOOti.OiH' sterling, and unless there Is a fulling off, of which there are no sinus, during the remaining months tne trade of 1918 Will considerably exceed the trade of 1012. "With regard to the Grand Trunk railway finances, I wns detained in London to a later date than usual to arrange for the payment of rolling stock ordered last spring, which I was able to do by issuing 1,500*000 bonds of fi per cent notes at 98. The Issue was oversubscribed find I was able to sell another 500,000 in lhe market at 08 at 5 per cent on the same conditions. The rolling stock ordered was 1,00(1 ears and 50 engines. "With regard to the Balkan war there is every appearance that all parties are exhausted. It has been a moot satisfactory thing that, notwithstanding the fears of everybody though the concert of Europe was unable to stop the war, it has succeeded in keeping every great power in line and thus preventing a general BuVo- neun war. the fear of which lias done moro than anything to cause great anxiety In the money market." FEEL APPREHENSION IN MEXICO CITY ("Continued from page one.) to Prance by Huerta and now en route to his pbsti Great Britain's stutement recently that the recognition of Huerta had been provisional pending an election, taken together with expressions from France and Japan, none of whom have have formally recognized Huerta, are the onlv public manifestations ol sympathy with the policy of the United States in opposing Huerta, but in the quiet realm of diplomacy a greater pressure is being brought to bear upon the Huerta regime to yield to the American suggestions for peace. Assurances that Latin-America stands by President Wilson have been informally received here. This had been expected, however, as the interests of Central and South American countries, where volatility of government has prevailed through military dictatorship, are admittedly in Hue with the attitude taken by the Unit. ed States In the present situation.
