Policy Of United States.

1t has been made plain by the officials
that the efforts of the administration to
obtain protection for American life and
property interests in Mexico are not to
be limited to the dispatch of one note.
but that it is the purpose to develop
a policy Of strenuous insistence upon the
performance of international obligations
along various lines, availing of every
opportunity to affect the Mexican gov
ernment by notes and by verbal repre-
sentations.
That plan already has been put into
operation, for Secretary Knox yesterday
had a long conference with the Mexican
ambassador. Senior Calero. in the course
of which he pointed out to him plainly
the inadequacy of the measures that had
been so far taken by the Mexican mill
tary officers to meet the demands of
American interests for proper protection.
General Sentiment.
The ambassadors attention was called
to the fact that SO numerous have be-
come the instances Of mistreatment of
plantation managers and the extOrtion
of money from Americans that there is
already widespread sentiment, strongly
reflected In Congress. in favor of the
modification of the neutrality laws. SO as
to prevent arms and munitions of war to
reach either federal or rebel forces with
out discrimination and to cease the prose-
cution oS revolutionary agents and refu-
gees In this country. AS Senior Lascu-
rain, the Mexican minister for foreign
affairs, is now i'm New York, the ambas-
sador has had every opportunity for easy
conference with him regarding Secre-
tary Knoxs admonitiOn.
As having a bearing upon the subject
of the prosecution of Mexican refugees
the Department of Justice has received d
complete copy of the decision or Federal
Judge Maxey of Texas, adverse to the
governments contention in the case OF
Orozco, sr., de la Fuente ct al. Judge
Maxey decided that these refugees were
arrested and held without a proper eX-
ercise Of the discretionary authority con-
ferred by section Ia of the criminal code
though the decision did not directly de.
clare that section to be unconstitutional.
Decision Is Studied.
| The decision is now being carefully
| studied with view to determining
whether the government should take ar
! appeal to the United States Supreme
Court, though 1t is quite evident thai
there is q strong division Of opinion OF
that point
| II no appeal is taken and the decision
