Americans are in state of siege.

Americans are in a state of siege.
The attack on Cananea will prob
ably determine the action of President
/ Taft with reference to calling a spe-
| cial session of congress to deal with
| the Mexican situation. If there is any
, massacre of Americans in Cananea the
special session will probably be called
at once.
| Senator CulberSon of Texas has been
in Washington the past few days, keep
ing in close touch with the Mexican
situation. Many other senators and
representatives have been wiring the
state and war departments for definite
information as to the seriousness of
the situation.
General Wood, chief of staff who is
in active charge of the preparations
for Intervention, has been informed
by President Taft that he expects ev-
cry official of the war department to
! do his utmost to prevent the neces-
! sity of such drastic action by the
i United States.
The president has stated TO the Off
cials that they must keep in mind the
fact that Intervention means a long
/ war, the expenditure of millions of
dollars and the loss of many Ameri-
( can lives, and that such a weapon
must be used only after every other
means of protecting Americans in Mex
I leo and upholding American honor has
/ failed.
Thus the stage is set for military
( Intervention in Mexico. and the situa-
ton is regarded as extremely tense.
Preparations have been completed to
throw 10000 men across the border
within a few days and the troops
throughout the West are resting up
on their arms awaiting the word 10
move
Conditions on the border are grave
and the prospects are that they will
become no better until there is de-
cisive action either by the Madero ad
miniStration or this government.
Outlawry reigns along the Rio
Grande and messages received in
Washington are to the effect that Gen.
eral Salazar, with several thousand
men, is planning an expedition into
American territory
The guard along the border has
been strengthened and unusual vigi
raids and depredations, but the force
now doing this duty would be power
less in the event of a concerted at
tack.
