MEXICAN GOVERNMENT.

RECOGNITION WANTED. MISSION TO GREAT BRITAIN. By Electrio Telegraph.—Copyright. Received January 31, 10.0 a.m. LONDON, Jan. 30. The Times understands that the Mexican Minister to Sweden, Senor Nieto, who is at present in London, lias been charged by President Obregon with a mission for obtaining if possible British recognition of his government. Senor Nieto has been instructed to urge that, following the example of the United States, all governments who broke off relations . with Mexico have resumed them but Britain. Senor Nieto has already visited the Foreign Office. There is reason to believe that the British Government declared its readiness to resume negotiations at the point where they were broken off by Mexico last year, namely, the preliminary establishments of commissions to investigate and adjudicate upon the claims of Britons who suffered loss and damage by the Mexican revolt, revolutions and other The Mexican contention is that British recognition of the Obregon Government would give the last blow to the Huerta movement, which is already greatly weakened, and to establish the president more firmly than ever in power.—Times.
