The Washington times., 1911-03-13

surrectionists here, Francisco Madero
will address a circular note to the
representatives of all governments in
Washington, in which he will make
clear the causes leading up to the
revolution. the existing conditions in
Mexico and other facts. He Will give
solemn assurances that property in
terests have nothing to fear from the
success Of the insurgent forces.
1t is predicted by the insurgent
leaders that the revolution may be eX-
pected from now on to spread rapidly.
1t is asserted there is great unrest in
Vera Cruz, and that Yucatan Is in re-
volt. In short, If the declarations of the
insurgents are TO be believed, the Diaz
government is standing over mine of
hidden dangers, which may explode Mt
any time, and which are likely to eX-
plode now in short order.
Special Agents Active.
1t is learned that mot only are tine
War, State, and Navy Departments ac-
tive, but that the. machinery of the De-
partment of Justice has been called into
operation to help stamp out any efforts
to send help TO the insurgents from the
limited States The force of Special
agents of the Department of Justice
is declared to be wonderfully active:
When Congress meets. there Will be
bitter criticism from some quarters Of
the course of the Administration with
respect to the Mexican problem. Not
only will the mobilization order be as
sailed, but the question Will be asked
why it is the secret agencies of the
Department Of Justice are being used
to help holster up the totterlnS Diaz
government?
Senator La Toilette is expected to
question sharply the course of the
Administration in the Senate. Rep
resentative Wilson of Pennsylvania
WI do he thing in the HnnSp
and they will have strong backing.
President Taft's friends will defend
his course and will contend the Criti-
cism is inspired by political motives.
1t will be charged on the floors of
Senate and House that the Administra
tion has gone directly counter to the
traditions of the republic in lending
the strong arm of the Government to
helm beat down a people struggling 10
liberate themselves from the grasp of
a military dictator, and that this would
never have been done had 1t not been
for the powerful financial interests that
Insisted on protection.
Diaz Getting Blame
It is said the mobilization of American
troops on the border has brought a flood
OF criticism on the Diaz government
among the Mexican people. Diaz is get
ting the blame for it. According TO the
best authority, the nbDllIttlOn was
brought about through the representa-
tions reaching this Government from
certain European capitals. Ii is said
that representatives. of European gov
ernInents at Mexico City advised their
governments of the distracted state of
things in Mexico.
This led to the agitation in the
European ChanCellerieS, especially the
English and German, whether this
Government should not be urged to
see that property was insured pro-
lection in Mexico, with the intima-
tion that If 1t were not, then it might
be necessary for the European ma
tions to look out for their own in
terestS. That word reached here from
Europe through American diplomats
of what was brewing and that Presi-
dent Taft resolved at once to take the
bull by the horns and head of any
representations from foreign govern
mentS directly, is the belief voiced in
the best Informed quarters.
The DiaZ government, however will
ing for this country to repreSS filihuS-
teTing on the border, did not apparently
dream of a movement of such spectaCu-
lar proportions as the ordering of 2OWH
troops TO mobilize and the ordering of
warships to patrol the Mexican coast.
President DiaZ is represented as en-
ragged, and there is no doubt the officials
of the DiaZ regime feel bitterly that
the movement has hurt his regime by
emphasizing its weakness.
