WASHINGTON, April 2O.-Condi-
tions in Mexico have grown so much
worse, due to the failure of the Ma
dero government to crush the revolu-
ton and to the turbulence of the reb-
els, especially General Orozco, to.
ward Americans, that the situation
causes grave concern here.
The admonitory note sent to Mex
leo yesterday was designed to spur
the Madero government into greater
activity against the rebels to warn
the rebel leaders that destruction of
American life and property would not
be tolerated..
Publication of this vote caused ru-
mors that the administration was COM
ing to believe intervention was inevi-
table. The state department says this
is unfounded, that the note was de-
signed to be deterrent to the devel-
opment of conditions such as might
cause intervention.
Intervention in MexicQ, officials
say, is merely euphemism for war
with Mexico Declaration of war is
prerogative of congress. President
Taft himself cannot intervene and he
does not intend to recommend it to
congress, unless there is an attack on
American life and property such as
would be casus belli even if there
were no revolution.

The situation which has arisen be-
tween General Orozco and Mr. Letch-

without precedent, and may in itself
necessitate severe measures in deal

recognize him in mis- capacity of self
constituted president of Mexico he will
not recognize Mr.. Lechter General
Orozco has further intimated that it
