Telegrams pouring into the headouar-

Generally Accepted Belief.

The reticence Of officials Of the State.
War and Navy Departments only ac-
centuates this impression. The idea
which is generally accepted, even in
the face OF the official pronouncement
that no undue significance should be
attached to the movement, is that the
government of the United States is pre-
pairing itself for an eventuality that is
not only possible, but probable. in the
situation in the republican neighbor of
this country. That eventuality, how
ever, seems locked in the mystery of
the future and may develop only with
the progress oe events in connection
with the revolt against Gen. PorfiriQ
Diaz. the President Of Mexico.

I'VE do not believe that the govern

purpose Of intervening in the present

ment of Gen. Diaz, by its acts delib-
erately compels such Intervention. The
policy Of the provisional government.

In the matter of the railroads. our col
umns have repeatedly notified their agents
that there would be absolutely no inter-
Terence with the regular train service
provided no federal soldiers were trans
ported from point to point. But the Diaz
government persisted In compelling the
railroads to do this, and our troops were
compelled, in obedience to the first law
OF nature. the right of self-defense. to
destroy small sections of the roads here
and there to prevent the passage of the
enemy. If there has beeN any damage
done the roads, .Diaz has forced the dam
age on them Our forces will in all cases
avoid inflicting damage whenever such is
possible. and we will be strictly governed
by the rules OF war as laid down by DR..

Apart from any moral effect on the

liuical crisis in Mexico City. especially

slated for the post of minister of foreign
affairs. He has long been recognized as
an adviser in whom President Diaz
placed much reliance. Senior de la
Barra, the Mexican ambassador, will
confer with Senor Ilimantour in New

conference has led to much speculation,
and 1t Is believed that the political tur-
