Dangpr of Mnr.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-That genera
slaughter Of Americans IN Mexico may
ensue and the United States may be
forced into war with the republic Is
regarded by the administration as q
possible result OF an incendiary
statement today purporting to be
from Juan Sanchez Ascona, Madero's
confidential secretary.
Ascona's alleged manifesto predict
cd the massacre OF every American
in Mexico If the United States inter.
vened. The administration here fears
that If the statement Is authentic, il
may inclto already excited Mexicans
to serious acts.
That the administration regarded the
situation as srious was indicated by a
conference between the president
Acting Secretary of State Wilson and
Secretary of the Navy Meyer. 1t is
believed here that the statement will
cause the United States to modify
its position regarding neutral
zone" along the northern border OF
Mexico to be policed by American
troops. It is feared that an invasion
OF the zone declared neutral by both
countries might be attended by at.
tacks on Americans In Mexico.
Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts,
said the president told him today
