ITRUE NEUTRALITY
URGED BY WILSON
President Tells Congress of Failure of Mission
to Mexico and Adopts Hands
Off Policy.
AMERICANS TOLD TO LEAVE COUNTRY
Exportation of Arms to Either Faction To Be Prohibit^rJ
?Latest Report Received in Washington from
Mr. Lind Described as One of the Most
Encouraging He Has Sent.
President Wilson delivered to Congress yesterday his message
on the Mexican situation. Admitting frankly the failure of the
special mission of John Lind to find a solution of the troubles, the
President declared for a hands-off policy until there was a change
in conditions.
The President's plan indudes the removal of all Americans
from the southern republic. and a strict embargo is to be put on
the delivery of arms and munitions of war to either the federals
or the rebels.
If any Americans prefer to remain in Mexico. the United States
will hold the Mexican government strictly accountable for their
treatment and for their property.
A message was received at the State Department last night
from Mr. Lind in Vera Cruz. It was described as being one of the
most encouraging reports he had yet sent to Washington.
It is reported that Mr. Lind may return to Mexico City from
Vera Cruz. and that negotiations with the Huerta government may
be resumed. with a good prospect of a satisfactory result.
Mr. Wilson issued last night a formal warning to all Ameri?
cans to leave Mexico at once. At the same time he ordered that all
Mexican omcials. civil and military. be notified that they would be
held responsible for any injury done to Americans or their property.
The President's message to Congress received warm praise
from both Republlcan and Democratic leaders in Senate and House.
His course was commended on all sides, and he was assured ot
the solid support of the national legislature in his deahngs with
General Huerta and the Mexicans.
A special sitting of the Mexican Congress was called in Mexico
City, and all the correspondence relative to the Lind mission was
laid before it. . ,
The general public in Mexico was kept in ignorance of the
character of President Wilsons message to the American Congress.
Federal omcials refused to comment on it.

G-mboa's Reply Abie.
The repl> of Sefior Oamboa, Huerta's
minister of Foreign Affairs. whhh ec
corupanied the message, elkited ad
nuration as an exi ecdingly abie state
paper. One of its most striking feat
ures was the categorical assenlon
that conditions in MaXiOO were growinf
better and that the Huerta admims
tration i ontrolled cighteen out of
twent> -Sf\. n statt s. three terrltoriea
and one federal district. which is in
dlrect contradiction to the \iew enter?
talned b) the Prealdent
Mr. Wilson emhodied ln liis message
tha lnstru- tions tO Mr. Und, which he
BUbmltted to the Huerta government
and whhh have been already outlined
in The Tribune. They demaml, in
substanee:
1. An immediate arnnsttce.
'-'. Security for an early general
electlon.
.*?. Huerta's consent not to b?? a can?
didate for the Presideney.
4. An agreement by all partlea to
abide by the results of the elovtion.
President Huerta. through SerV>r
Gamboa. rejects these deniands "ln the
most categorical and derinite manner"
Reply ing to the tirst proposal, Sefior
Gamboa submits that it is Imposslbie
