In the field against the rebels.
WASHINGTON. Aug-. 26. The dila
tory attitude of the Huerta govern
ment today gave Administration offi
cials hope that some concessions might
be made to the American proposals for
peace in Mexico, but indications pointed
to a final ending of the negotiations to
morrow, when President Wilson is
scheduled to read his message to tooth
houses of Congress, defining the policy
hich he thinks the United States
should pursue toward its southern
neighbor.
A 24-hour postponement of the pre
sentation of the message which was
to have been read today was agreed to
after, a Joint request from Frederlco
Gamboa, Mexican Foreign Minister, and
John Llnd. President Wilson's personal
representative in Mexico. It followed
repeated efforts on the part of Huerta
offilcals to have the reading of" the
document deferred indefinitely. Mr.
I.lnd left the Mexican capital early .t
day for Vera Crux, however, with the
understanding that the United States
would announce its policy towards
Mexico unless the Huerta government
receded.
Other Suggestions Made.
Mr. Llnd had made certain supple
mentary suggestions to Benor Gamboa,
the nature of which was not divulged.
but Administration officials declared
these constituted no departure from the
fundamentals of the American note.
The original proposals were officially
announced as follows:
1. Cessation of hostilities and a def
inite armistice.
2. An early and free election.
3. Huerta to bind himself not to be
a candidate.
4. An agreement by all parties to
abide by the results of the election.
Mr. Llnd Informed Benor Gamboa that
he would stop In Vera Crux and could
be reached there in case there should
be any reply to his last suggestions.
For several days Gamboa and Llnd have
been fencing, the former attempting to
secure a new basis of negotiations and
the latter steadfastly declaring that
under no circumstances would the
United States yield any of Its points or
agree to any considerable prolongation
of the negotiations unless Huerta with
drew his note of reply "to tlie" American
proposals.
Today Is Flnnl Limit.
Officials disclaimed that Mr. Llnd had
gone to Vera Crux to avoid any em
barrassment in the Mexican capital fol
lowing the publication there of Presi
dent Wilson's message. It was said
that Mr. Llnd. having practically con
cluded nV mission, went to Vera TJrux
chiefly to impress upon the Mexican
administration that tomorrow noon was
positively the last moment the United
States would wait belore proclaiming
lo the world the position it has taken
toward the Huerta government and the
course which it is ready to pursue for
years if necessary to uphold the prin
ciples of orderly and constitutional
government in Latin America.
The Washington Govenrment's ir.sist.
ence that Huerta eliminate himself
from the presidential race if an elec
tion is held is based upon his promise
contained in official reports that he
would not be a candidate. It is not
conceived by officials here that a fair
election could.be held In Mexico with
Huerta in control of the election ma
chinery. Hornsea to Sleet nt 1 P. M.
Officials were not sanguine tonight
that the Huerta government would
withdraw its rejection of the American
note, and preparations were being made
for the delivery of the special message
by the President. Both houses had
passed a. resolution to meet lnv Joint
session at 1 o'clock tomorrow.
While Administration offu-iala regret
that they were unsuccessful in bring
ing things to a definite point through
the Llnd negotiations, both unofficial
and official, indicated that the Huerta
government cannot last much longer.
With foreign governments supporting
the American policy, there Is little
hope, according to the official view
here, for the Huerta government to ob
tain any funds abroad to pay Its army
or meet running expenses.
The United States will preserve a
policy of non-interference and non-

tionment, as far as It had been com

The Southern banks have asked that

four or five months. All of it Is to

cause it Is believed that there Is a
special demand for the money to as
sist in marketing of the crops, which

lic sections, but If m the East and
elsewhere it should be shown that
there Is need for the temporary ' use
of funds for similar legitimate pur
poses, the Government will be quite
ready to extend similar aid."
Many factors were taken into con
sideration in arriving at the apportion
ment of deposits In the West and
South.
"Among these," the Secretary said,
'.'were the Immediate needs of the lo
calities as reported by the committees
of the clearing-houses in the confer

most serious breach in the history of
the Desert Land Board came 'this aft

West defied the other members to ask
for an extension of the contract be

A decision to ask the Secretary of
the Interior for an extension of "two
years was reached by the board at
a meeting last week, when the Gov

board the Governor telegraphed that he
had been treated discourteously, and
Insisted that the question be reconsid

Governor Promises to Fight.
When the board declined to accede
to Mr. West's demands today the
Governor said he would do everything
In his power to have the Federal
Government deny an extension of the
contract.
State Treasurer Kay explained that
J. E. Morson, president of the Deschutes
Land Company, had proved that the
company waa operating within the law.
The investigation by the Interior De

Court's decision In his favor were
recounted. Mr. Kay said Mr. Moreon
would be unable tj carry on hi buJ

in Sullivan's Gulch.
Tvithln a month of obtaining a right
of way to extend a side track up Sulll

track, the North Bank road has begun
grading for the extension. A gang of
men and horses are now grading

Considerable grading already bas
been done at the east end of the pond
under the Grand-avenue bridge. A

filled.
The spur track will connect with the
East Side track at Couch street. An
other force of men is now tearing down
the old building at East Third and
East Couch streets in the path of the

East Eighteenth street for the pres

both sides of the gulch, which was ac

tonight placed District Attorney Charles

for re-election. The District Attorney
waa not ready to say whether he would
accept the designation, but would make
his decision known within two or three
days.
Mr. Whitman's acceptance of the
Tammany indorsement would place -his
name on all the tickets that have so
far been nominated. The fusionists
named him for re-election, and the Re

Before Mr. Whitman returned tonight

was dispatched to him by Seth Low,
Republican, ex-Mayor and one of the
leaders In msny fusion movements, urg

Xeeters, Thompson, . Schiller and
Kllngensmlth, however, admitted va

Thompson said he 'was "felt out," but
no money proposal was made. Teeters
testified he was asked to contribute,
but postponed his decision. Schiller
said he was asked to contribute, but
returned a defiant answer.
Two Tell of Bribe.
Kllngensmlth admitted he paid De
tective Craddock $20 to be delivered to
Armstrong, and Craddock says that the
money was delivered. It is on this
testimony that the prosecution rests.
Much speculation has been aroused
by the appearance on the indictment as
one of the witnesses of L. -H. Mark
ham. This man formerly was a busi
ness associate of Armstrong, with of
fices in the Henry buldlng, and the
officers referred to him as the man
who made the preliminary advances
on behalf of Armstrong. When the
case was taken up Markham was miss
ing, but later was found by Deputy
District Attorney Maguire in Seattle
and came to Portland to give ' testi
mony before the grand Jury. The na

Besides these witnesses, others ex

partment; C M. Ssnosky, and Robert
Armstrong. These witnesses are be
lieved to have given evidence on col

Speculation also exists aa to the
status of Detective Craddock, who, by
his own statements, was technically an
accomplice ot Armstrong, As the de
tective is believed to have made a full
statement and condoned bis acta to
some extent. It Is not likely that ac
tion will be taken against him.

Armstrong has engaged Attorney
Frank T. Collier for his defense, and
will fight the charges on the conten

to commit la "crime. He will deny the

Other indictments were returned, aa
