Washington, D. C., Feb. 13.-Realiz-
ing the danger to American residents
in Mexico from the circulation of er-
roneous press dispatches telling of

! est friendship Of the United States
) Government for Mexico. lNuring the
, Madero revolution, the state depart
r ment issued a similar circular Since
5 the present trouble assumes serious
= proportions the Department has made
every effort to stop the stories of in
tervention by making plain its policy
towards the sister republic.
The American representatives in
: Mexico have been instructed to circu-
late the note in the press and TO use
: every means to get the denial before
. the pOpulace.

: expressed with the hope that the
blessings of peace will soon return to
( them.
| Mexico's internal political affairs
: are not point of concern to this gov
ernment, according to the note, and
the American government demands
nothing bat the respect and protec-
tion of American life and property.

the sending of troops out of Mexico
without the permission of Congress.
~ Apparently this statute was unknown
- during the Madero revolution or was
, ignored.

der the United States than one devas-
el tated by rebels
