HUERTA SAYS "HANDS OFF’
Will Not Resign Nor Consider Any
Sort of Compromise.
Mexico City—President Huerta re­
iterated the declaration of his policy
of "hands off” in reply to a question
as to what would be his attitude in
case an offer of mediation should bo
made by the United States through
John l.ind, who is coming here as the
personal representative of President
Wilson, to act as adviser to the Amer­
ican embassy.
"I have said publicly," President
Huerta declared, "that I will not ac­
cept mediation or intervention of any
kind, because national dignity and
honor do not allow it. I have declared
also that I will not treat with the
rebels, and much less will 1 do so if
doing so involves a flagrant violation
of our sovereignity.
“All should be joined in the bonds
of peace, rejecting all suggestions of
a violation of a sovereign and insult
that may be offered to our national
dignity.”
Personal friends of Presi­
dent Huerta, who appear to enjoy his
confidence, vigorously assert that he
will not consider resigning or any
compromise with the rebels. They say
they would regard as gratuitous the
sending of a representative here by
the United States with the announce­
ment that he is intended ultimately to
be ambassador, but whose primary
mission is to act as mediator. They
insist that if the United States is sin­
cere in its desire to restore peace, the
most practicable means to this end
would be the recognition of the Huer­
ta government.
That any suggestion by Mr. Lind or
any other foreigner that President
Huerta shall resign in favor of a pro­
visional president or that a compro­
mise be effected with the rebels would
be regarded as unfriendly interference
and would be resented by the govern­
ment, was the comment of one man
high in official life.
He added that
mediation from the outside was out of
the question.

of charges for the transportation of
packages would be made.
He an­
nounced also that on the same date the
"banking by mail” feature would be
introduced into the postal savings sys­
tem.
The reduction in charges on parcel
post matter for local delivery is from
the present rate of 5 cents for the first
pound and 1 cent for each additional
pound to 5 cents for the first pound
and 1 cent for each additional two
pounds or fraction thereof.
For de­
livery in the first zone, the rate will
be reduced from 5 cents for the first
and 3 cents for each additional pound
to 5 cents and 1 cent; for the second
