THE MEXICAN SITUATION.

POSITION UNCHANGED.

REBELS AGAIN GATHERING.

Times-Sydney Sun Special Cable. . Mexico City, September 3. The position is unchanged. Only a few United States citizens are leaving the country. Mr. John Lind, the envoy sent by President Wilson to General Huerta, is now at Vera Cruz. The rebels are again gathering at Torreon, in the north of Mexico. LONDON PRESS COMMENT. ' A cablegram from London, dated August 29, says-. —The London papers are not altogether sanguine as to the wisdom of President Wilson's Mexican policy, but they are agreed that it is almost certain, to lead to American intervention. The Daily Express remarks that President Wilson is not inclined to indulge in bluff. " His message," the paper goes on to say, "is stem and explicit, and it is clear that Mexico will either have to climb down or fight. Britain has large interests in Mexico, and much to lose by a war, but it is difficult, to understand British sympathy being otherwise than with the United States. According to the Times, the message is an admirable one. but has the drawback of being irrelevant to the main point. The paper asks why the United States Government fails to take the simple, effective course of following the European example by recognising the Huerta Administration. "It is difficult," adds the paper, 1* to resist the suspicion that in enforcing the personal objection against General Huerta the United States is jeopardising itß best chances of assisting the country of which he is the best ruler." "President Wilson," remarks the Morning Post, "will have bis hands full if he sets himself up to be a censor of the morals of the presidents of LatinAmerica." The Daily Mail inimically declares that Washington needs a policy. It says that the only possible claim to reason the message has is that it is the precursor to an ultimatum. Tt doubts whether President Wilson is an apostle of peace.
