American life and property are en-
dangered at Cananea by 1000 striking
Mexican miners. Mexican authorities

/ Occupation OF portion of Mexico,
by United States troops within q
month, unless President Madero ac-
cepts at once new ultimatum issued
by President Tart, is admitted to be.
. more than a possibility here today by
state deparement. The state depart
ment admits that efforts to reach a.
/. friendly adjustment of the outrages
against American life and property In
Mexico have failed, and both Presi-
dent Taft and Secretary of State.
Knox recognize the time has come to
act. Madero's reply to Taft's de-
man for redress, received December
IA, angered the President, and before
leaving last night for; Panama he
penned curt demand to Madero in
which severe threats were made. In
his answer TO Taft's former demand,
Madero intimated that the Americans
slain in Mexico deserved to be left
to their fate, that Americans would
not be paid indemnity for property
destroyed, and that the Mexican gov
eminent practically is unable to keep
order in the country. The crisis with.
Mexico follows long series of diplo-
matte exchanges. and the new ultima
tum makes it plain that Washington
is no longer going to temporiZe with
! the situation. Unless Madero has Civ
en- satisfactory response by the time
President Taft returns from Panama;
he will ask. congress to authorize the
following demands: First: The drop
ping of the neutrality bars between
the. United States and Mexico, there
by enabling revolutionists to secure
arms. This move. 1t : is believed,
would encompass the, fall of Madero.
Second: The seizure of a portion of
Mexican territory and the blockading
of Mexican ports. The move against
Madero follows series of confer
ences between Taft, Knox and Will
son, American ambassador to Mexico,
who oil agree that the Madero gov
eminent is hopelessly impotent.
