THE MEXICAN TURMOIL
A BATTLE IN SONORA. HEAVY LOSSES ON BOTH SIDES. BRITAIN'S RECOGNITION. (Ey Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright) (Received 10.15 a.m.) NEW YORK, August 17. The Department of State has been informed that Federal and rebel armies totalling several thousands fought a two days' engagement at Rodriquez, Sonora, Mexico. The result was indecisive, but both sides lost heavily in killed and wounded. The "New York Tribune" states that in high quarters the conviction is entertained that British recognition of President Hucrta is due to commercial influences. It is asserted that extensive Mexican oil concessions have been granted contuigent on Britain's recognition, and that Lord Cowdray exercised his influence with the Foreign Office, but it Is not suggested that Sir Edward Grey was improperly influenced. The Huerta Government has accepted Mr Lind as tbe bearer unofficially of a message that the United States intended to do nothing but in the best interests of Mexico. Mr Lind will shortly present a formal communication. Its reception is doubtful, because there is much ill-feeling against Americans.
