HENRY LANE WILSON
MAKES LETTER PUBLIC
Reviews Circumstances Lead
ing Up to Instructions to
British Ambassador.
Spokane. The Utter to Secretary
of 8tate Bryan. In which Henry Lane
Wllion tendered his resignation as
American Ambassador to Mexico was
made public here by Mr. Wilson. The
letter waa written In Indianapolis Au
gust 28. In part Mr. Wilson wrote:
"I hare the honor to acknowledge
the reoelpt of your note of August 14.
transmitting a copy of a telegraphic
Instruction of the department of state
to the American ambassador In Lon
don, directing him to disclaim all re
sponsibility on the part of this gov
ernment for an Interview attributed to
me."
Mr. Wilson then reviews the cir
cumstances leading up to the Instruc
tions to the ambassador In London.
A London dispatch was published In
this country August 11, saying that
one of the factors determining British
recognition of the Mexican provision
al government was the "congratula
tory" speech of the American nmbas
sador on the occasion of Huerta' re
ception to the dlplomutlc corps. Mr.
Wilson says he did not believe this
came from an official British source,
and when he read article "evidently
Inspired from administration sources,
containing expressions of gratifica
tion over the supposed propitiatory
explanation" of the British govern
ment "It seemed apparent to me that this
waa the flrat evidence of your inten
tion publicly to question my official
acta," he continue, "and I accordingly
gave to the press the interview re
ferred to."
In his letter he criticised Bryan's
foreign policy aa a "spirit of haiard
ous adventure" and claimed he (Wil
son) waa actuated only by unselfish
motives In hla attitude toward Huerta
and Madero.
