London Sees A Crisis.

New York Times 100 years ago today, August 8, 1913:
Mexican Relations at Breaking Point, Says The Times.
By Marconi Transatlantic Wireless Telegraph to The New York Times.
    LONDON, Aug. 8.— A sensation has been created here by the news that the Huerta Government has declined to receive John Lind as President Wilson's unofficial representative. The London Times has received a cablegram from Manuel Garza Aldape, Acting Secretary of State in Mexico, containing the official statement given out in Mexico City declaring that if Mr. Lind fails to produce credentials in proper form, accompanied by recognition of the Government, his presence in the country will not be acceptable. The Times considers that this brings the strain of the relations between Mexico and the United States to the breaking point.
    "Huerta," says The Times, "evidently is determined to defy the American Government and persist in his refusal to resign the Presidency or allow foreigners to take a hand in the pacification of the country."
    A Mexico City dispatch to The London Times says it is reported that the Catholic Party, now in convention to nominate candidates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency, decided not to propose candidates but to continue to support Huerta in his work of pacifying the country. If this is true, undoubtedly the position of the Government will be enormously strengthened.
