state department issued a similar cir
cular Since the present trouble as
sumed serious proportions the depart
ment has made every effort to stop
stories of Intervention by making plain
its policy toward the sister republic.
The American representatives in Mex
leo have been instructed to circulate
the note in the press and to use every
means to get the denial before the
populace. In the note the sincerest |
friendship for Mexico and the Mexican
people is expressed with the hope
that the blessing of peace will soon
return to them.
Mexico's international political af-
fairs are not a point of concern to
this government, according to the
note, and the American government
demands nothing but the respect and
protection of American life and prop
ert.
The Mexican government has with
drawn its request to send Mexican fed
eral soldiers through American terri
tory from Eagle Pass to Ell Paso,
Texas. It appears that law has
been brought to light which prohibits
the sending of troops out of Mexico
without permission of congress. Ap-
parently this statute was unknown
during the Madero revolution, or was
ignored.
Loose talk" by army officers on
the situation in Mexico also is men,
ace to friendly relations, according to
Representative Slayden of Texas,
member of the house military affairs
committee. In a speech in the house
today he protested against incendiary
language Mr.. Slayden feared a con-
tinuance of such talk might bring
about a situation in which congress
would be forced into war"
