ment which emerged tonight out of the travail through which Mexico has passed the last two years will be a slower proceeding. But with several Americans dead from the bullets of the contepding forces in Mexico City, with hundreds of persons wounded and thousands rendered homeless because or the short range firing in the streets Of the city. MT. Wilson's first duty will be to treat with the new president for aTnelioration of the conditions imposed upon Americans and other foreigners, especially since the revolution entered its last stages.
 New President Must Restore Order.
 While this government will take no part in the choice of a successor to President Madero, such successor will have to demonstrate his ability to maintain stable government before po- lftical recognition will be accorded by the United States. Mexico is today many revolutionary movements. The principal of these are the Orozco movement in the north and the Zapata uprising in the south. LawlesSnesS has become rife. and robber bands, naSquerading as revolutionfstS, have sent terror through states of Mexico from the Rio Grande to Yucatan.
 In order to lay claim to political rec ogn;tion from this government, this government will demand that the new president, be he General Huerta or some other, must put an end to these disturbing elements, restore order and establish the workings of justice in the states.
 Wilson Will Have to Deal With Situa-
 ton.
 The formality of political recogni- tion in all likelihood will fall to the administration of President elect Will son. There would hardly be time for the negotiations in the remaining few days of President Taft's term of of flee In the event that Ambassador Wilson's term as representative of the United States in Mexico's capital should close with the admiriSeration which sent him there, it would be first necessary for the president of the United States to appoint his successor This diplomat, when properly accredlt- ed to the Mexican government, would be in a position to further the nego- tiations incidental to the recognition of the new Mexican regime when that government has demonstrated it's ahil- ity to enforce the law.
 The news tonight found this gov ernment still firm in it's policy of non- intervention and unwavering in it's proposition upon a moments notice to strike an aggressive blow for the defense of American citizens, should occasion yet demand 1t. Although the change which it is believed will bring relief from the intolerabl ble conditions
 
 bloody fighting, was welcome to those who carry the burdens of state, offi cfal Washington had no comment to make on the outcome.
 No Comment at Washington. : Despatches from Ambassador Vii son. confirmed the salient features of Nadero's fall and Huertas rise to power. but state department officials withheld their opinion.
 None sought, however, to conceal satisfaction in the assurance of pro- tection to<life and property which the establishment of order in Mexico City would bring to the thousands of Americans and other foreigners for whose safety this government is re- sponsible before the world.
 Although the step which would have sent American soldiery into Mexico had not been taken, every branch of the defensive arm of the service was or ganized to it's highest efficiency The word of command was all that was necessary to send troops across the border from the Texas frontier, or to land bluejackets and marines from the six warships swinging at anchor on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of the disturbed republic. Two thousand ma rines gathered all along the Atlantic coast are tonight ready to sail for Cuba, only a few hours from Vera Cruz. Every detail in fact was in readiness had attacks upon Americans, as such, forced this gov ernment to pursue the policy which officials hope now will not be neces- sary.
