Washjngton. Oct. 24-The United
 States government is preparing to mo-
 tifv the nations of the world generally
 that any interference in Mexican af-
 fairs will be regarded as unfriendly to
 this government.
 President Wilson, Secretary Bryan
 and Counsellor John Bassett Moore of
 t1e state department have exchanged
 ideas on what the proclamation to the
 world should express. It will be com
 municated to the foreign governments
 every where. in line with the policy es-
 1ablished earlier of keeping other na-
 lions informed Sf every step taken in
 its handling of the Mexican problem
 Will Define United States Policy.
 The proclamation. or note will serve also it is understood, as an explicit
 definition of the policy of the United States towards the de factO authori- ties in Mexico reiteratng the principle that recognition can only be given to governments on this hemisphere found ed on law and order.
 Earlier today it was expected that it would be a matter of only a few hours when the proclamation would be made public, but tonight it was practically decided to hold the matter in abeyance for several days, at leaSr until after the elections in Mexico next Sunday Two things, it is known, have contributed to the determination of the government to define it's policy-the presenta ton by Sir Ti6nef Garden, the British minister to Mexico, of his ere dentials immediately after Huerta had proclaimed himself dictator, and the despatch of several war vessels to Mexican waters.
 Reaffirnation of Monroe Doctrine.
 The British embassy here today at the direction of the foreign office ad- vised Secretary Bryan that the Brit ish government pronounced as unau thentic the now famous interview cred tied to Sir Lionel, expressing the view that the United States did not under stand conditions in Mexico Another incident tonight that was regarded with significance was the assurance that came from Ambassador Jdseerand to the state department that the French l government in sending 9 warship to l Mexican waters did not intend in any | way 10 embarTass the United States 1 Officials indicated satisfaction over the ! apparent trend of the French govern | ments attitude.
 There is Q possibility that if the pow CTS indicate further an unwillingness | to embarrass the United States, that | this government may withhold it's | pronouncement, but some officials were i of the opinion that sooner or later such | declaration which they regarded as i tantamount to a reaffirmation of the 1
 
 be required.
 To Await Developments.
 Administration officials generally l maintained a severe reticehce in con- l ncction with Mexican affairs. They ad- 1 mitted that an acute and delicate sit 1 uation existed early in the day, when l word was received that the American | vessel. the AIorro Castle, had been de- | uained It was not revealed what or | | if,O ora was a noticeable relief in official cir | cies when cablegEams announced the l release of the ship.
 Tonight the disposition of the high i officials of the government was to | await the develouments of the next 4S | hours before making any move. Presi- | dent Wilson had some doubt about go- | ing to Mobile. Ala, to make an address | on Monday before the Southern Com | mercial Congress, but he told friends | tonight that he probably would go. | He leaves early tomorrow for Philadel i phia 10 make an address at the Con- | gress hall celebration, and should there | he evtraordinary developments he may | not make the southern trip.
 Election Not Likely to Change Policy. l
 Secretary Bryan was in frequent | conference with the president during i S5e day Mir. Bryan called attention | 9 General Huerta's promise to- the Diplomatic corps that even if his Friends voted for him next Sunday he would not accept the presidency, on the ground that if would be unconstitu 'fonal for him to succeed himself tn- ? s71uch as President Wilson in a note recently announced that the United ! States regarded the assumption of diC- taforship Dy Buerta as a violation of 1 the promises for a constitutional elec- ton. the result of this election is not calculated to have any considerable eff feet on the American policy
 The predicament of General Felix Diaz. one of the candidates for the presidency, who remains isolated at Vera Cruz, apprehensive of danger if he tries to make a political campaign, excited the attention of officials here who are determined to give him asy- tRn if necessary The position of the administration with respect to all can ested in any way.
 lidates is that they should not be mo-
