This was the statement made here
today of j. n. Dickinson, secretary
Of war, who plans sailing for Panama
this afternoon.
There can be no excuse for inter
vention," asserted the secretary, "un-

negligent in protecting persons or
property for foreign residents, and
such negligence would have to be
firmly established, in my opinion, be-
fore any such step could be taken.
There are no conditions now existing
that gives US such warrant.
In order to maintain neutrality
laws. it was deemed advisable to send
troops to the border, and on account
of the immense length of the from
tier, 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"

s7oility that he might postpone mis-
"trip to Panama, but il so it would
