General Diaz was officially relieved
from his mission to Japan by the
foreign office after he had completed
his assignment from the war depart

to officials here. The members OF

General Diaz to Europe on the way

WASHINGTON. Oct. 24.-Develop-
ments of few hours today in the re-
lattons between the United States and
Mexico emphasized a gravity of af-
fairs more ominous than at any time
since President Wilson's administra-
Dtion began. Absolute silence was the
order In official quarters.
The release OF the ward liner.
Mario Castle, after preemptory de-
mands by the United States, termin-
ated delicate situation. Orders were
in preparation to the commander OF
an American warship, plying off Vera
Cruz. to insist on her release.
A statement was in preparation to-
day by Secretary Bryan and Connse-
lof John Bassett Moore, which Sec
retary Bryan brought to the White
House for the presidents approval.
No intimation as to its contents was
revealed but there was every reason
to believe that before many hours
have passed notice by the United
States that it would not brook Euro
pean interference in Mexico by the
warships despatched to Mexican wat
ers by the foreign powers would be
proclaimed.
1t is understood also that the Un!-
ted States by the same statement win
reiterate the American policy that only
governments founded on constitutions
al law and order will be recognized
on the western hemisphere.
The situation had assumed such as
poets that 1t was considered possible
that President Wilson might cancel,
at the last moment, his trip to Mobile,
Ala He had planned to leave early
tomorrow and be gone until Tuesday
night. There was doubt in the presi-
dents mind today whether he could
afford to leave Washington at this
time
That the United States may be re-
CURED to back up measures and pol
icies is being taken into considera-
lion by administration officials and
while there is no comment to indicate
the trend of affairs, there is unmis-
taxable evidence that high officials
are prepared for any eventuality.

ference with President Wilson Just

United States would always like "a

merely material interest
The gravity of the situation, 1t was
apparent, would be increased by Felix
Dlaz taking refuge in the American
consulate at Vera Cruz. The POSSIBLE
ity that the Huerta authorities might
demand his release and provoke an
other emergency was fully realized.
