Official sources. that Great Britain had
ordered three Of her arrnored cruisers

Britain was that tho government has
not notified the United States of her
intentions 10 appear in force in Moxi

fcrs no explanation. but It was stated
that 1T was not absolutely necessary
for foreign nations to give such notice.
although the record shows that Japan
and France called at the state Depart
ment and notified Secretary Bryan Of
their Intention - look after their IN
tcrests in Mexico. There are only two
opinions among officials rs TO these
naval orders by Great Britain.
War Department officials arc or tho
opinion that the British oil interests,
which lie In the interior of Mexico with
Tampico as the port of export. have
demanded that they he protected. and
they connect this opinion with tho fact
that Lord Cowdray, who controls these
interests. has taken up the question
personally with the United States am
bEssador at London.
