enveloping the visit 'here of John

to Mexico, ever since his coming was
announced, continued today with the
refusal of all information as to when
or where the president would see him.
Mr. Lind remained aboard the scout

arrived ' off Ship Island, eight miles
below here, last night. The revenue
cutter Winona waa waiting to transfer
Mr. Lind. but up to 9. o'clock no move
bad been made. : Reason . for the se

phase of Mr. Lind's visit, notwith

here. Although permission had been
granted Mr. Lind to come, several
days ago. the' dispatches quoting him
as saying he would leave Vera Crux
for the United States were met, at the
presidential cottage, with the state
