No European Pressure.

New York Times 100 years ago today, August 26, 1913:
Diplomats Delay Action Until Lind's Negotiations Are Ended.
Special Cable to The New York Times.
    MEXICO CITY, Aug. 25.— It was learned to-day that no European pressure has been brought to bear upon President Huerta since ex-Gov. Lind's arrival, the idea being to insure a hearing of the American proposals.
    It is stated that diplomatic notes made it plain that this did not indicate that the European nations were acquainted with the contents of the Lind proposals or favored them, but that they did not desire to see a crisis precipitated during the preliminary negotiations.
    Minister Gamboa says: "I do not believe the press reports from Washington, that Latin Americans are supporting President Wilson in his attitude toward Mexico. So far as I know, no European pressure is being brought to bear in support of the position of the United States. The report that Señor de la Barra will not be received in France is untrue, as the French Government accepted him as persona grata when, the usual exchange of messages of inquiry took place."
    He pointed out that de la Barra's status was not the same as that of Gen. Felix Diaz, as the latter was on a special mission, while de la Barra had been named to fill a regular diplomatic post near the French Government.
