WASHINGTON, March 13.-With the
prospect of the suspension of the Mex
ican Constitution. so as to establish
practically martial law throughout the
country, it was believed here today,
that invasion by the American troops
was much nearer at hand than at any
time since the mobilization was or
dered a week ago.
The situation, developing from the
desperate move Of President Diaz will
be open war without quarter. The Diaz
soldiers will have the right to kill
whomever they please, without trial
and the insurrectos have determined
to return the action in the same man
ner
it is pointed out by officials familiai
with the practices Of the Mexican sol
diers that permission TO shoot any
ono "caught stealing. gives the sol
diers full power to Judge whether ,
man is stealing or not and in eifec
gives him free hand to commit muir
der as he chooses.
This state of affairs is expected e
develop sudden and disastrous
crisis in the internal situation in Mex
leo with more probability of grcai
damage to foreign interests than evel
before. Many believe that IL will quick
ly present what President Taft has
termed necessary cause for action.
