New YORK, May ia Washington
dispatch to the Tribune says the admins
tration is unable to understand why Kel-
logg does not make reoUisition for feder-
al troops. As soon as a requisition is
made the President viii issue proclama-
tlon In most positive language admonish-
ing citizens of Louisiana to peace, dispers-
ing the McEnery government and protect
ing the Kellogg assumption as the lawful
government, and announcing the intention

the whole military force of the country if
necessary. This proclamation is to be ac-

ceptlble of doubtful meaning.
WASHINGTON, May I2-Nuch having
recently been said concerning the present
and prospective action of the President in
the troubles of Louisiana, it may be stated
that the President has received no tele
gram from Governor Kellogg since last
Friday, when the condition of affairs was
represented as somewhat improved While
there is no doubt that the President would
interfere to protect the State from domestic
violence, should the Governor make appb
cation, and provided the facts should war
rant the prosecution, it is nevertheless the
hope of the President, as he expresses
himself, to a friend tonight, that all dis
turbances will soon cease and no such con-
tingency as that contemplated by the Re
publican would occur, but if it should he
would take hold and act clearly within the
limits Of the constitution and laws Here
tOiore he had merely sustained the decision
of the courts
