INTERVENTION
 BY MAY FIRST
INSuRREcTo DIPLOMAT SAYS TAFT WILL WAIT NO LONGER
 THAN THAT DATE
Urges Madero to Hasten and Win Decisive Victory Before That Date and Hold Some Important
 City.

San Antonio, Tex, March 2S What with the new demand for six or seven thousand recruits; the issuance of an order by General Carter making pro- visions for a sudden move should 1t be required, and statement by Dr. c. F. z. Caricristi, one of the domi- nant figures in the Mexican revoiu- tionary junta, that the United States would intervene In Mexico unless there was definite show of tranquil ity by May l, the recently diminished war cloud loomed large again today
 Dr. Caricristi felt sure enough of his facts to embody them in a report 10 Francisco i Madero, the revolll- tlonary leader, who at the last re- port was within thirty miles of the city of Chihuahua. Dr. Caricristi urged the insurrecto chief to achieve decisive victory at all costs by May l for, he wrote, President Taft will not wait longer than that for quiet 10 be restored, business resumed and traffic ever the railroads be secure
 The courier departed from here to- day.
 Dr. Cariscristi is ore of the direct ing minds of the revolutionary junta, and as lawyer. physician and world traveller probably their best trained diplomatist
 The letter is not an order, for Ma dero is the supreme leader, but is in the nature of report on the meaning of the mobilization of American -troogs at Fort Sam Houston.
 Most. of Dr. Caricrist's investiga- ton was done at Washington, although he has been on the ground at Fl Paso, Laredo, and is at present in this city. An inlSing of something unusual afoCt reached him sometime before the fa- mcus Paris interview with Jose Ives Limantour. the Mexican minister of finance, and he proceeded at once to Washington. In. an interview today he said:
 .'Of course a complete federal tri- umph in Chihuahua, the restoration If communications and other business, likewise would avoid intervention. Bit l do know absolutely that President Taft is determined that order shall be restored, and that quickly, by one side or the ether in Mexico, with the alternative of intervention.
 Tn my report to Senor Madero, l pointed out the necessity of captur- ing and holding the state of Chihua- hua. If this can be accomplished l am convinced that the revolutionists will ee recognized as belligerents by the United States and other governments
 T nave reason to believe that Nj " ] Is the date set for the termination Of President Taft's patience with the disorder south of the Rio Grande. Neither side wants intervention, and believe firmly that federals and revo- lutionists would make common cause against an invader.
 The financial interest of the United States in Mexico is immense, and. with that of Europe, is greater in money sense than that of Mexico. Recently l compiled statistics which show that there is billion dollars of American money in that country, and thai the interest of Europe is about half that sum. It is fact that 75 per cent or the credit in Mexico is in the hands Of Americans and Europeans.
 Just how much influence has been exerted in Mexico by certain great in- terests cannot say. can swear that the revolution started within its own borders of it's own force, for helped to start t. l,ut 1t gives food Tor thought to know that one of the big interests which has millions invested has always been on the friendllest terms with President Diaz, and has received many concessions from him. Another interest with more money and an eye on a certain great natural resource of the country. has been an tagonized at court by the former. The interest of the latter in change oi administration seems obvious.
 General carter's order reads as foi- lows
