HAS UNCLE SAM
EXCEEDED RIGHTS?
THE REPORTED ATTACK ON OUR
TROOPS RAISES LAW CUES
TON INVOLVED.

Washington, March 23.-The report
ed attack upon United States soldiers
at Preside, Tex, by Mexican troops
because the former stopped the expor-
tation of provisions to Mexico, has
raised the question in the minds of
officials here as to the possibility of
the American authorities having eX-
ceeded their authority In enforcing the
neutrality laws.
The state department holds that the
shipment of provisions and even arms
and ammunition travelling in the or
binary process of commerce Is legiti'
mate. The other departments Of the
government interested in the enforce
ment Of the neutrality laws-treasury
justice and war-have been advised OF
the state departments views in the
matter.
All these administrative officers, II
is said in official quarters, are in har
mony as to the Interpretation of ma
tional and international law on the
question.
No word has yet reached the state
or war departments In regard to the
reported firing on American troops
along the border.

alleges, the assasslns washed their
hands Of the blood OF the Cuccolos,
was examined by President Bianchi at
the trial of the thirty-six Camorrists
today. She is one OF the most inter.
esting characters in the case and the
only woman among the prisoners.
The charge against her is completely
in the murders and the receiving OF

MEXICAN WAR
MUST co ON
THE MINISTER OF FINANCE SEES
BAD SITUATION.
A SENTIMENT AGAINST oIAZ
A Great Change in the Sentiment of
Mexico Has Come About, Govern.
ment Official Admits - Change in
Election Laws to be Made at Once.

Mexico City, March 23.-Admitting
that Mexico is facing crisis even
greater than he hal believed, Minister
of Finance Limantour said the ad-
ministration had no definite plans for
the solution Of the problems confront
ing it. 1t has no alternative but to
continue the military progress on
which it has entered.
Notwithstanding the governments
aggressive attitude reforms which are
intended to remedy the alleged griev-
ances complained of are under con.
sideration. The most important is the
revision Of the electoral laws. The
situation was presented by Mr. Ii
mantour to a representative of the
Associated Press, following a meeting
of the cabinet.
That a great change in the attitude
Of the people toward the administra-
ton has taken place within the time
that Minister Limantour has been
abroad. was significant admission
made by him. The administration, he
said, was continuing a searching In.
vestigation to determine the exact
cause and to find remedy for the
existing sentiment There is no dis
position on It's part to oppose any
wise reforms which are demanded by
a reasonable public. At the same
time the administration does not pro
pose to accede to demands backed uI
by no arguments. In word, the ad
ministration recognizes two classes ir
the dissatisfied public: one represent
ing the intelligent but non-combatan,
element, and the other, the followers
of Madero
For the latter the administration
has no terms other than those formu
lated at the war department.
Such is the program announced by
Mr.. Limantour as the result Of the
conferences with the president ant
with other members of the cabinet
Mr.. Limantour frankly expressed sur
prise at the antagonism towards thu
administration.
Just why this is so, cannot un
