Washington, April 1S.-The Mexican
situation, which is fast approaching
a crisis from an international aspect,
was the principal subject of considera-
tion at today's cabinet meeting. With
the declaration by President Taft that
no American soldier will cross the
border without the consent of con-
gress, it seems almost certain that
the problem soon will reach the halls
OF congress. Interest of official Wash
ington is keyed to the highest pitch
and every bit of information, official
or unofficial, received over night, was
rushed to the White House for the
perusal of the president. After con-
ference with the president this morn
ing, Chairman Cullom, of the senate
committee on foreign relations, an
nounced that no meeting of his COM
mittee to. consider the Mexican situa-
tion was contemplated at this time.
According to Senator Cullom, the
president was optimistic today and
believed the situation at
Douglas, Arizona, improved. The sen

evacuated by the rebels did much to
relieve the tension in Washington and
the situation is not now regarded as

declared no action was con-
templated by congress at this time.
Mr.. Sulzer of New York, however, in
timated that a neutral zone of from
five to ten miles wide along the
boundary line is being considered.
There is some apprehension as to the
situation at Juarez, but in official
circles confidence is expressed that
Mexico will keep the federal troops
away from the border.
Definite assurances were received
this afternoon by President Taft from
the Mexican government that affairs
like that at Aqua Prieta, will not be

ted four propositions for bridge con-

RIOTS WON'T AFFECT
PRICE OF CHAMPAGNE
THERE is PLENTIFUL SUPPLY OF
"ExTRA DRY" STORED IN
CELLARS

Paris, April 1S.-Although many
millions of quarts of champagne have
been destroyed by the rioters in the
Marne and Aube districts, only two
houses supplying champagne to Amer
ica have been affected, The vines at
Dizzy belonging to Moet & Chandon
were set afire and many were burned,
but it is impossible to estimate the
damage done At Dizzy also is the de-
pot of the Castellane firm, which was
wrecked, but this firms output is
chiefly consumed in France.
The storehouse and presses of the
Ayala Brothers firm, which ships
large quantities to England and Amer
lea, were destroyed One of the broth
ers has said that he intends to WIND
up the business and leave France. An
other heavy sufferer is the Montebel-
10 house, which does big business in
medium priced champagne.
The wine destroyed is nearly all OF
the grades which sell here from 81
to So a bottle at retail, and when
shipped to America, for So and 81.
The American market will not be
affected unless the dealers combine
to take advantage of the situation to
raise prices. In the great storehouses
at Rheims enough extra dry is
stored to supply the demand for four
years. This grade of champagne is
nearly all for export, as Frenchmen
don't like the extra dry, preferring
sweet champagne.
