With the new demand for six or sew
en- thousand recruits. the issuance of
un order by General Carter, making
provisions for sudden move, should
II be required, and u statement by DR.
&. r. Caricristi one of the dominant
figures In the Mexican revolutionary
junta, that the United States would
Intervene IN Mexico unless there was
"a definite show of tranquility by May
|, the war cloud looked large today
DR.. carlcrsti felt sure enough of his
facts to cmbody them IN report to
Francisco |, Madero, the revolutionary
leader. who at the last report was
within 80 miles of the city of
Chihuahua.
DR.. Carieristi urged the insureent
chief to achieve q decisive victory ut
all costs by May |, for, he wrote,
President Taft will not wait longer
than that for quiet to be restored,
business resumed and the traffic over
the railroads to be secure. The cour-

side or the other In Mexico. with the
alternative OF intervention.
IN my report to Senor Madcro, I
pointed out the necessity of cap
turing and holding the state Of
Chihuahua. If this can be accom-
plished, am convinced the revolu-
tionists will be recognized as bellig
erents by the United States and other
governments.
II have reason to believe that May

of President Taft's patience with the
disorder south of the Rio Grande.
Neither side wants Intervention and /
believe, firmly. that federals and revo-
lntionists would make common cause
against an invasion.
"The financial interests of the
United States In Mexico are immense,
and. with that of Europe. are greater
In money sense than that of Mexico.
Recently ! compiled statistics which
show that there IL billion dollars
of American money In that country
and that the interest of Europe is
about half that sum.

credit I'm Mexico Is In the hands of
Americans and Europeans.
