The President Greatly Worried Owe
Mexican Situation.
tRy the Associated Press.


tBy the Associated PreSs.l
Washington, d. c., April 17.-Pres-
ident Taft felt tonight that he has
done personally all that can be done
by a chief executive to control the
situation along the Mexican border.
He and his advisers believe that now
Congress must say whether the sitUa-
ton is grave enough to warrant IN
~tervention and it's consequences.
Through the State Department the
administration played what may be
regarded as its. last card today. 1t
reiterated i'll no uncertain h the
representations made to Mexico a few
days back. that the affairs at Doug
les and Aqua Prieta must not be re
peated.
Mexican Delay Worries President.
Instead of awaiting the customary
period for j formal reply from MeNi-
co the department asked for iinme-
date assurances that there be no more
fighting that endangered Americans
in the border towns Information
was requested also as to what meas
ures the authorities had taken to pre-
vent future conabats of this kind. A
| few hours after the department an
that it had issued this sec
! ond demand the dispatches from
Douglas began to come into the War
| Department, showing that the second
! Daftle or Aqua 9Tlctd hau DeSun- 20
night no reply had been received from
the Mexican authorities.
The President is plainly worried.
The bulletins were taken to him
wherever he happened to be and he
did not conceal the fact that he was
Intensely interested in the news from
Aqua Prieta.
TWO Important Conferences.
The President had two important
conferences. He talked with Secretary
Knox In the afternoon and tonight he
had a conference with Ambassador
Bryce. Of Great Britain.
The official explanation of Mr..
Bryce's VISIT was that he came to talk
about the proposed arbitration treaty
between the United States and Great
Britain. It is practically certain, how
ever, that Mexico figured in the con-
versation.
1t is believed that the Ambassador
explained to AR. Taft the landing OF
the British marines at San Qu1ntln
Mexico, last week. He was able TO
tell the President that the landing was
made only after American and British
subjects asked for protection that the
British vessel Of VAR put the marines
ashore.

N~iaSllDgtoH. u. ~. ApF1I Il"
President Taft tonight replied to
a message from Governor Rich
ard T.. Sloan, of Arizona. asking
protection for citizens Of Doug
las from the fire of Fedcrals
and insurrcctos; that he was
10th to endanger Americans in
Mexico by taking SO radical Il
step as sending American troops
across the border TO prevent
further fighting.
The President, in his tele-
gram to the Governor, stated
that the situation might Justify
him in ordering troops to cross
the border and attempt to stop
the fighting Or o fire upon both
contestants from the American
side. He hesitated to take such
IL step. however. because Of the
possibility of resistance and
greater bloodshed and the dam
ger OF having his motives mis-
construed and nisrepfesented
and arousing Mexicans against
many thousands of Americans
nOW in Mexico and jeOpardizing
their lives and property.
In view Of the conditions,
therefore. the President felt
that he could not order the
troops at Douglas to the
border. but he again emplla-
sized the ACCESSIBILITY of the peo-
pie of Douglas avoiding expos
ing themselves. to flying bullets.
In his message to President
laft, Governor Sloan declared
that the situation pointed to q
repetition of today's casualties
"n tomorrow. That in his ju1g-
ment radical measures are ne
cessaFy 70 protect innocent
Americans, and adding that il
anything can be done to stop
n fighting at Aqua Priefa, the
situation calls for such action.
1t is impossible to safeguard
the people of Douglas unless the
town can be vacated Governor
Sloan said.

When the battle began Col. VIM.
A.. Skunk. commanding the United

Of cavalry to the line and took every
possible ~precaution for the safety OF
the citizens Of Douglas, keeping them
out Of that portion Of h city which
was most exposed. This. however, did
not avail to Y Americans from in
Jury.
Fighting to Be Resumed Today.
Every indication points to q re-
sumption Of fighting by tomorrow. If
the federals should prove successful.
it means that the battle Will be car
ried to the streets Of Agua Prieta with
increasing menace to the citizens OF
Douglas.
There is a movement -onight anon
the leading citizens OF Douglas to
send a large number of kilograms to
President Taft asking him to safe
guard at any cost the lives Of United
States citizens.
Col. skunk has wired all informa-
ton on the situation to President
Taft. Mayor Mcguire today sent the
following message to President Taft:

Intervention Would Mean War.
NO one here doubts that i~nterven-
ton would mean war. War in Mexico.
the Presidents advisers say, would
mean a long drawn out struggle in
which the Mexican Federals and the
Mexican insurrectos might 0 o be
found lighting side by side and would
dissipate all the good feeling that
years OF careful diplomacy has Gre
ated between the United States and

danger of having our motives
niScOnStrued and misrepresent-
ed, and of thus inflaming Mexi-
can popular indignation against
many thousands of Americans
now in Mexico and jeopardizing
cir lives and property.
1T is impossible to fOreSee or
reckon the consequences of such
n course, and we must use the
greatest self-reStraint to avoid
il.
Pending my urgent repre-
sensations to the Mexican gov
eminent, I cannot, therefore.
order the troops at Douglas to
the border, but I must
ask YOU and the local authOri-
ties. in case the same danger
seems to threaten, to direct the
people of Douglas to place
themselves where bullets cannot
reach them, and thus avoid cas-
ualties. I am 10th to endanger
Americans in Mexico. where
they are necessarily exposed by
taking a radical step to prevent
injury to Americans on our side
OF the border who can avoid it
by temporary Inconvenience.
