MEXICAN AFFAIRS.

PRESIDENT WILSON'S MESSAGE TO CONGRESS. HUERTA'S RULE MUST END. .(Received August 28, 11.50 a.m.) WASHINGTON, August 27. ppesident Wilson delivered to Congress his Message regarding Mexico. The Message states that the pacification of the country has grown more and more unlikely, and the United States, feeling that some action was necessary, despatched Mr Lind to Mexico as a special envoy. Despite the latter's reception, the United States still hoped that its good offices would be useful to Mexico, but President Huerta's rule must end if peace is to be restored. NO ARMED INTERVENTION. (Received August 28, 12.10 p.m.) WASHINGTON, August 27. Mr Wilson's Message declared that there would be no armed intervention in Mexico in any circumstances; the preservation of strict neutrality and vigorous protection of American subjects and property constituted the United States policy. WARNING TO AMERICANS. (Received Last Night, • 10 o'clock.) WASHINGTON, August 28. President Woodrow Wilson has warned all Americans to feave Mexic.o immediately. NEWSPAPER COMMENT. (Received Last Night, 1&20 o'clock.) LONDON,' August 28. The Chronicle says the two chief reasons for President Wilson's, attitude are American sympathy with the Maderist insurgents and American belief in the efficiency of the ballotbox. Had the United States stood in line with the other Powers General Huerta could have obtained the re-, quisite fundis and, being supported as he is by"the bulk of the country's regular military and civil forces, would have established order throughout Mexico. President Wilson's policy, the Chronicle adds, seems more likely to involve active intervention than to ultimately avert it.
