President Taft Worried.

The president plainly IL worried. lie
talked but little. the White House folks
said. about Mexico today. but the bule-
tins that came through the war depart
ment and through the press were taken
TO him wherever he happened to be and
read with interest. lie did not conceal
the fact that he was intensely In
terested.
The president talked with secretary
Knox in the afternoon and tonight he
had conference with Ambassador
Bryce of Great Britain. The official
explanation of Mr.. Bryce's visit was
that he came 10 talk about the pro-
posed arbitration treaty.
II Is practically certain that Mexico
figured in the conversation. II is be-
lieved the ambassador explained 10 Mr..
TAFT the landing Of the British marines
at San Quentin. Mexico. last week. lie
was able 10 tell the president that the
landing was made only after Ameri-
cans, and II was explained that Amcri-
cans came first and British subjects
asked for protection.
