turns down the United States he i'm
pliedly spurns the advice OF the other
nations as well. and if then the United
States should be compelled TO pursue a
non-active policy IL is believed by ad-
ministration officials that other nations
will have no complaint 10 make regard
ing Mexico. but will be satisfied. as the
United States will he. 10 let the MeNl-
cans settle their own troubles IhiS
NAV not come true. and foreign ma
lions NAV still be inclined 10 make
trouble II their nationals are imperilled
and their property destroyed.
Along with Intervention another
thing which President Wilson Will not
do is TO abolish the embargo on the
shipment OF arms TO the revolutionists
II anything at all is done 1t - tar
more likely that further permits FOR
shipments TO the Huerta people viii
be refused. and thus both sides in Mex

II is felt that the giving OF arms ia
the rebels will not solve the Mexican
situat ton by any means. but that in
stead, a condition Of chaos would ensue
which would bring intervention bS
force of arms much nearer.
The State Department received ad'
vices to-day telling Of the increased
seriousness Of the financial situation
in Mexico City. Difficulties OF perhaps
disastrous character may cnsue. This
cannot but affect General Huerta's pn-
sition. for h has large numbers Of
troops 10 pay. Where ne has been get
ting money enough 10 carry them on sc
far is cause for wondorment.
Denial from Embassy.
The Mexican Embassy added It's de-
NAL to-day 10 those already made in
Mexico city that the Mexican govern
ment had ever given it out that an
ultimatum would be presented 10 the
United States. The embassy's denial is
peculiarly worded and refers 10 the
version of an utmatum' that was
published in the newspapers, but this
IS not regarded as significant. The
statement follows:
Although the version Of an ulu-
matum presented by Mexico to the
United States as published in certain
OF Yesterdays papers was so egregious-
~ absurd as to call forth fiat denia
almost simultaneously with its publica-
ton. this embassy. in view OF the many
states that the version is wholly UNI
true. Furthermore, confidential nego.
tiations are continued in spirit OF
mutual and frank cordially. according
TO official advices received by this EN-.
bassy.'
The belief was given and passed by
the members Of the Senate Foreign Re.
lations Committee to-day, irrespective
Of party. that the efforts Of the ad-
ministration 60 bring about pacific
mediation in Mexico had failed. The
question what is to be done next was
left to the President and the State De
partment, both Democratic and Repub-
lican Senators volunteering no solution
Of the problem
Senator Root. who will return nex'
week, will probably oppose any move
! TO lift the embargo on arms, and vii
| be supported by other members Of thu
Foreign Relations Committee, even II
il should be the purpose If the Presi
dent 10 take such step. Although
| Senators hold that the efforts Of the
administration to bring about pacifi'
solution Of the Mexican problem have
been fruitless. both Democrats and Re
| pAblcans take the view that no othel
course was 10 be followed. and that thu
United States has justified itself he
| fore the other countries OF the world.
The Democratic currency caucn
sidestepped an opportunity this after
noon 10 pass resolution indorsing IN
| administration course respecting tn
Mexican situation. Mr.. Saunders, o
| Virginia, asked unanimous consent 10
/ tho consideration OF resolution cX
pressing confidence In the Presiden
and approval Of his course. Mr.. Henry
! Of Texas. wanted 10 know II the Score
| tary of state had been consulted. MI
Saunders said he had not taken up tn
question with Mr.. Bryan and Repre-
sentative Henry expressed doubt Of tn
propriety of caucus action under tn
circumstances. Mr.. Hardwick, o
Georgia, thought it would be unwis
for the Democrats TO rush into actor
on a matter which might later becom
an issue and upon which the Hous
! proper might he called upon to vote.
Upon the objection Of the Georsi
member the resolution was not consid
