Wilmington However Con- Siders Situation Grave A HOPE YET OF PEACE
Senator Stone Stands Al most Alone in Criticising the Presidents Inaction and in Demanding Imme- diate Intervention.

Washington, May s.-There were enough developments in the Mexican tangle in Washington today to com plicate the situation so that official advisers of President Taft are willing to admit that it is alarming From United States consuls and other sources. the president heard that the revolution was spreading and from news dispatches and from Colonel Steever, in command at Fl Paso. bull letins came telling of fighting that is endangering American citizens.
 Senator Stone of Missouri urged in- tervention in Mexico and said that Americans were being ''murdered". Representative SulZer of New York. chairman of the house committee on foreign affairs reiterated his convic- ton that the United States must not intervene Colonel Steever informed the president that he would permit the wounded of both the federal and in- surrecto armies to be brought into the United States. The cabinet dis cussed Mexico and decided Io keep on standing pat" On the objection of Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, il was decided not to permit American owned cattle now in Mexico to be brought across the river.
 Despite the unfavorable intelligence. President Taft is still inclined to hope for peace From Mexico City he learned that with the exception of two. possibly three states, all Mexico IS involved in the revolution. At the same time Foreign Minister de la Barra was quoted as being confident that peace would be made between the Diaz government and Madero.
 One bit of information given out at the White House showed that Eu- ropean governments are apparently willing to give Mexico ans opportunity to solve it's own problems. The presi- dent told callers that no foreign gov ernment had suggested that the Uni ted States take action to protect Am erican foreign property and that it- this nation intended to live by the Monroe doctrine it must maintain or der. Italy is the only European nation that expressed concern about the mat ter.
 AIadero telegraphed the insurrecto iunta here that the insurrecto forces had gained possession of the greater mart of Juarez and that their losses were small He said the imprudence of volunteers had precipitated the bat tIe which has been raging in Juarez today.
