Admits the Situation
There Is Now Critical

A virtual admission by an official OF
the Mexican government that the revo-
luton in that country is serious, and
the sudden decision of the Mexican am
bassador. Senior de Ia Barra, and Dr.
Franc, SEQ Gomez, representative of the
MadeIU faction here, to so to New
York at the same time, and within an
hour of each other, are two important
diplomatic features of the Mexican sit
uation which developed today.
The announcement was given out to-
day at the Mexican embassy to the
effect that papers In Mexico City and
other large cities throughout the whole
country have been ordered by the DIa@
government to publish the recent eN-
change of kilograms between President
Taft ard President Diaz. This was

meeting Has Significance.
Such a meeting. it is said, could
mean only one thing. Mexico. 1t is
pointed out, has been made to under
stand that the United States. despite
the formers wishes in the premises,
Intends to put a quick end to any
thing in the nature OF anarchy and
rebellion that might even threaten
American or foreign interests.
The revolutionist leaders have an
army of men who are of the middle
class, men Of education and perception
ing for a principle know too well the
regard of the United States for justice
TO fear Intervention or to be intimidated
by a demonstration twice the size of
the one now going on.
Therefore" said an agent, speaking
for DR.. Gomez today, the temporary
blindness of the Diaz administration
has been cured. They have seen that
statements that the trouble is more
than merely seditious moveent.
They know they cannot cope with the
situation. They know that the United
States, If 1t intervenes, will surely side
with the right, which is the Madero
side. The only thing left for them to
do Is to treat with the MederistS. And
the only settlement the Maderists will
consider will be fair and honest cleo
tions, no grating concessions to big
interests, and an immediate cleaning out
of the circles now in power in Mexico"
Stories that big interests had been
granted special concessions. and that
overtures had been made to Japan re-
garding a possible establishment of
naval base In the Bay Of All Saints, on
the coast Of Lower California, were en-
phatically denied in a telegram signed
by Enrique Creek, and which reached
the embassy today. The telegram read:
1.-The Mexican government enlphatical-
ly denies that concession has been
granted for a naval station in Lower
California, or that any kind of special
privileges in the Tehuantepec railway
or any other place has been granted"
