INTERVENTION MEANS WAR
NAY ARRANGE PEACE PACT

NEW YORK, March 15-Before Senior
de Ia Barra left for Washington la st
evening he gave cut here the proofs
of an article which appears today in the
Independent on THE Situation in Mex
| ice;' urging all his countrymen, regard
less Of "all divisions of party, all diff
| ferences between men," to recall the
| sacred interests Of our country" and
Ito work together for the progress of
true democracy and Of the best develop
| ment Of the mother land"
The ambassador penned this appeal only
Monday night. after his conference with
Senior Lirnantour the Mexican minister
OF finance. and he considered it so i'm
portant that at the very last moment he
had 1t crowded into the locked forms
1nsufrecto leaders to whom the proofs
were shown said they considered 1t an
invitation to come into camp, and its
issuance makes more noticeable a trend
Of events that has been discoyerable for
| the past three days.
Mexicans Getting Together.
After the first shock Of surprise in the
United States and of alarm and dis
trust in Mexico caused by the dispatch
OF 10000 American troops to the frontier,
there began on the one side a series OF
formal diplomatic exchanges between the
two powers and on the other a series Of
carefully weighed interviews and author
| lied publications in the daily press. In
derneath this current ran a deeper tide
of sympathy between countrymen who
might be at odds, but were still country
men.
Intervention means war; said Senior
Limantour in SO many words. 'Interven-
ton? echoed DR.. +. Vasquez Gomez, the
| insurrecto agent at Washington. who has
been here for the last three days, the
moment there is Intervention there will
cease to be an instruction. Both sides
will make common cause against a COM
mon enemy
Flowing to q, Junction.
In short, 1t became plain that two
streams Of tendency were flowing to
junction. On the one hand there was a
disposition on the part Of the insurrectos
to open negotiations with the representa-
tives OF the Mexican administration here;
on the other there was growing under
standing between the Mexican govern
ment and the United States. Virtually
Senior Lmantour Is willing to have it
understood that If the United States viii,
take care OF smuggling his government
will take care Of the instruction.
In most Of his statements he has been
careful to dwell on both these points
He holds out the latchstring to the in
surrectos with promise OF reforms, and
plants Of the share Americans are TAX
ing in financing and leading the reYolu~
ton. Therefore, with Senior Limantour
and Secretary Dickinson OF the War De-
pavtment IN town the Maderos and AM
ba ssador de Ia Barra in the same hotel.
the conviction grew that an understand"
ing between them would be reached.
$ Junta Issues Warning.
This conviction was strengthened by
the warning issued by the junta here last
Sunday to ''look for something Tues
day." and the sudden secrecy and activ-
ity with which their councils. heretofore
so open to the press, became suddenly
cloaked. Gabriel Madero, brother Of
Gustavo, chief Of the junta here. let fall
that his father had recently paid q can
on Senior Iinnantour One OF his friends
said that Gustavo had spent part OF the
the Secretary himself dashed all these IN
timations with cold water.
II have not been In communication with
the Maderos, either directly or indirect
them, ana I have had no word from any
of them. I carry no message from them
to senior Llmantour. My presence here
has nothing to do with the Mexican SIT
uation."
The belief grows here, however
among those closely in touch with
both camps that some understanding
will be reached 1t was pointed out
that II Francisco Madero, ST.. has al
ready seen Senior Limantour once, he
Is likely to find means OF keeping IN
touch with him as the situation may
demand.
Brains Of the Revolution.
The Maderos are considered the
wealth and brains of the revolution.
They are not in sympathy with the
socialist movement in southern Cali
fornia. III those fellows win" said
Gustavo Madero, "we shall have to
fight them II then the Maderos
could be won over with satisfactory
assurances Of reform on one hand and
the threat Of United states interviews
ton on the other, it is believed the
baekbon of the insurrection would be
broken.
None of the family was willing to-
day to discuss in much detail what
would constitute a satisfactory basis
Of settlement. What the revolution
lists are fighting for" said Gabriel, the
