THINKS DELIBERATE PLOT.
Col. Steevor in Report Says, Rebels
Planning to Force U. S. to Intervene.

Washington. July. 29.-Conformation of
the statement by Gen. Salazar that the
Mexican rebels were deliberately plan
ming to force Intervention by the United
States was contained in a report to the
war department., today, from Col. Steev-
er. in charge at Eel Paso of troops, but
the army officers advice was qualified
by the important statement that Saaaar
did not represent Gen. Orozo, who still
was decidedly opposed to any interfer-
ence with Americans.
There has been no change in the le-
gal aspects of the rebellion in Mexico to
incline the state department to change
its attitude of strict neutrality and con-
sequently there is no thought of inter-
vention to crafty the wishes of the
rebels.

TAFT TO TAKE REST
DURING CAMPAIGN
President Will Make No Extended
Trips or Speeches from Rear
End of Cars.

President Taft will not make any ac-
tive campaign trips during the coming
political contest. There will be no ex-
tended trips and rear-end speeches. such
as he was persuaded to make in the pri-
mary contests last spring. Mr.. Taft feels
that his views are well known and there
is SO necessity for campaigning on this
score. In addition. there was considera-
BILE criticism of the active part he took
in the primary campaign, and he has de-
cided that it would be much more dtgnifisd
for him to refrain from making politial
speeches in the campaign. He may make
a few addresses, but there will be no ex-
tended political campaign trips. Mr..
Taft entered into the primary campaign
unwillingly. and only after the members
of his Cabinet advised him to make a
direct reply to the Misrepresentation of
Col. Roosevelt and his other opponents
for the nomination. Because OF the sharp
criticism against the personal participa-
ton OF the President in a political cam
paign, Mr.. Taft has decided not to take
and active part in his campaign for re-
election.
Many invitations have come to the
White House from different parts of the
asking him to speak. The board
of managers OF the Minnesota State Fair
to be held early in September sent this
Invita- ton: THE people OF Minnesota and
the Northwest are eager to see you and
listen to your views on the
great issues of this campaign
The General Society of Mayflower De-
scendants asked Mr. Taft to attend its
annual meeting. to be held at Plymouth.
Mass. on September 6. Both these in
vitations and others of a similar nature
were declined with regret.
