DICKINSON HAS NO
Intervention IDEA
Secretary of War Does Not Be.
ieve American Army Will
Cross Into Mexico.

New York, March 1T do not be-
ieve there will be any movement Of
our troops into Mexico"
This was the statement here today Of
]. M. Dickinson, secretary OF war. who
plans to sail for Panama this after
noon.
There can be no excuse for interven-
tion," continued the secretary, unless
the Mexican government proves negli-
gent in protecting the persons or the
property Of foreign residents. and such
negligence would have to be firmly es-
tablished. in my opinion, before any
such step could be taken. There are no
conditions now existent to give us such
warrant.
I'm order to maintain the neutrality
laws it has been deemed advisable to
send troops to the border, and on ac-
count of the immense length Of the
frontier and the fact that the Rio
Grande can be crossed at almost any
point, a larger number of troops has
been dispatched than would otherwise
prove necessary"
Secretary Dickinson said there was a
possibility that he might postpone his
trip to Panama. but IL so it would be
because Of complications In settling
pending agreements between the PAN
anna Railroad company and the steam
ship lines operating for the govern
ment Mexican affairs would not in
tiuence his plans.
Later Secretary Dickinson decided
not to sail today.

Washington, March 14.--The up

states of Coahuiia and Morelos,
according to advices received to-
day by the revolution agents here.
The uprising in MoreIos is of for
midable proportions, the dispatches
set forth. Telegraphic communica-

has continued for eight days. will soon
cause starvation, have secured per-

The last word received from Chi
huahua was seven days ago when the
telegraph operator at Parrall, after a
wire working. The operator at Chi
Suahua wired:
mo food stuffs have reached here
In two weeks. 1t looks like famine
Tor all of us. Governor Ahumada is
powerless. A citizens committee has
been organized to confiscate all food
supplies in the stores. and to see that
surrectos have encircled the city and
when the federal troops attempt to

are driven back by bands of guerillas."

But we rarely read such literature for
two reasons: First, the demands of
today are paramount and leave no
time to be wasted; second, such read
ing calls to mind memories that are
almost wholly painful, and if INDUCED
in would engender morbid state of
mind. The memories of the Confed-

a job as Sumner Cunningham's would

The result of the Los Angeles cleo

right in the opinion that the public
holds the radical socialists. rather
than the labor unions, responsible for
the dynamiting outrages. It. is the
legitimate fruit of the teaching of
some of the socialist leaders.
