CONFER WITH THE PRESIDENT MONDAY
When It Is Believed a Policy Will
Be Outlined and Agreed Upon
Regarding Mexico.
Ky The Associates Pre
Washington July it. President
Wilson had before him tonight the
report written here today by Ambaa-
aador Henry Lane Wllaon on oondl-
tlona In Mexico from the time the
revolution overthrew the reign of
Porflrlo Diss through the stirring
events of the Oroico revolt the
downfall of Madero and to ithe es-
tablishment of the Huerta regime a
period of three years.
Thin report was transmitted to the
president tonight by Secretary Bryan
who had spent the greater part of the
day In conference with Ambassador
Wllaon. The president expects to ex-
amine the report before Monday
when he will confer with Ambassador
Wilson on a possible solution of the
present difficulties.
Bryan sifting Information
Secretary Bryan. In sifting the mass
of information that has reached
Washington from all parts of Mex-
ico did not confine himself to offlc-
clal channels for as soon as Ambas-
sador Wllaon left the state depart-
ment. Francisco Del Valle of Los
Angeles. Cal. whose identity as an
agent of the government has been
variously stated and denied In official
circles appeared in Mr. Bryan's of-
fice. For nearly an hour after Am-
ha.iad(ir Wilson left Mr. Del Valla
was closeted srKs IkKratary Bryan
and muoh secrecy was manifested as
to tin- nature of the conference- Mr.
Bryan was silent declining to state
Valle or anything of the character of
his mission In Mexico.
Two Months In Meadoo.
Mr. Del Valle afterwards admitted
he had spent nearly two months in
Mexico and had presented a full re-
port of conditions everywhere in the
republic. He said he had been a po-
litical acquaintance of Mr. Bryan and
had been a long time a state senator
In California. Able to speak Span-
ish Del Valle. who la of Mexican
ancestry though born In the United
States had little difficulty he said
in making his way through the ter-
ritory held by the rebels aa well aa
the federals. He declined to -state
the results of his explorations.
"The odd thing however" he said
"Is that the people in the north of
Mexico do not even know conditions
In southern Mexico and vice versa."
Dal Valle declined to Inttmata what
he thought of the situation but spoke
highly of some Constitutionalist lead-
era In Sonora whose names were men-
tioned to him.
On 8 lea oyer With Wllsow.
i ..cidetitly. Del Valle came up
from Mexico City on the same steam-
er with Ambassador Wilson and ar-
rived In Washington on the sjme
train. That they had little in com-
mon was apparent from Ambassador
Wilson's remarks earlier In the day'
that he did not think the government
had exhibited courtesy toward him In
ending unofficial representatives to
Investigate conditions In Mexico He
poke caustically of the methods pur-
sued by both Del Valle and Wm. Bay-
ard Hale a personal friend of Presi-
dent Wilson in obtaining Information'
In fact the ambassador said he -bad
been told by a legation official In
Cuba that Del Valla bad a copy- of
the state department code In bis pos-
session an impropriety for an unof-
ficial representative in tbe ambassa-
dor's view.
Ambassador Beoosnes Rational.
While the ambassador expressed
his views on Mexican affairs freely
early In the day and before he reach-
ed Washlagton. he began tonight a
pot lay of reticence. He said ho had
been saked by Seers tary Bryan to re-
frain from discussing the situation
and would abide by tbe wishes of
his superior officer In fact the
arabasaad. r expressed doubt aa to tbs
acctirai of some published slats
nienta attributed to him criticising
suggestions of the Washington gov-
ernment for establishing peace In
Mexico. He also manifested a solid
ude about future stateness.
Tbs ambassador waa unwilling to
say what bs had written In his stats-
meat but declarer! unequivocally that
he bad aot altered bis views about
effaira In Mexico since corn tag to
Washington or liU talks with sec-
retary Bryan. Ha said It was true
that at various time he had suggest-
ed the ad visibility of recognising tbs
ii. n sdmiasttrailon.
It Is understood that the ambas-
sador's resort deals extensively with
lbs ecafewcale as well aa the political
ituailuu la Mexico. Il was said oa

Washington D- C. July it.
"I was Impressed" said Ambassador
Wilson after his Interview "with the
reeeptlveness of Secretary Bryan and
his brsadth of view. Our Interview
was very pleasant and Mr. Bryan Im-
pressed me aa not having reached any
determination on the situation but as
deslrlous to know the facts."
The ambassador declared that at Mr.
Bryan's request he had dictated today
a resume ef the situation. Tt took him
four hours and In It he covered all the
occurrences of Importance In Mexico
from the beginning to the present. The
ambassador said he had made no refer
ence to remedies.
Mr. Wilson said be would ask the
president to permit him to speak freely
about the situation as he believed the
public waa not generally Informed.
Del Valle shadowed Wllsem.
It was learned later tonight that Del
Valle not only had been aboard the
same ship and train by which Ambassa-
dor Wilson had corns to Washington
but stopped st ths same hotel In New
York followed him on the street care
there and observed ths men with whom
the ambassador talked.
Del Valle. It waa also said waa the
man from whom Secretary Bryan re-
ceived a recommendation that the Am-
erican embassy be kept In charge of a
secretary fer the present and that Am-
bassador Wilson's resignation bo ac-
cepted. pel Vails declined tonight to discuss
any of these points but said he wss
about through with his mission. He
said bs waa a lawyer by profession
and had no Interests lu Mexico. He ad-
ded that he would be here for a few
days longer conferring with Secretary
Bryan and would In ths meantime pay
his respects to Presldsnt Wilson.
Homero Denies Statements.
Manuel Peres Romero confidents!

tbe Constitutionalists In Washington

dero tonight denied statements pur-
ported to have been made In New York
by Ambassador Wilson that Mrs. Ma-
dera had published letters that were
forgeries and that the Madero family
was maintaining a paid bureau In the
United States for the purpose of giv-
ing publicity to false statements rsp-
resentlng conditions In Mexico. Me de-
clared In a statement that Mrs. Madero
had published no such letters nor caus-
ed them to be published and that the

As to the statement Issued by Am-
