President Juan Vicente Gomez intends
to take personal lead of the Venezuelan
army operating against Cipriano Castro
whose followers have risen in the
provinces of Falcon and Tachira and
also in the eastern districts of Vene-
zuela. The president issued the follow
ing proclamation today:

disturbed the peace Of the country, i,
myself. will take the field and will re-
establish order. i know that every gen.

Call Losses Intolerable.

The express companies had filed state
nents indicating that the losses OF reye
nue. under the proposed rates would he
infolerable, and argued strenuously that
the establishment of the parcel post had
deprived them OF quite 80 per cent of the
revenue they formerly received from
parcels of eleven pounds or less. They
contended Mat the express business could
not survive the losses from both sources.
This is equivalent to saying" COM
ments Commissioner Marble in his re-
port. that inasmuch as shippers have
been given the convenience and econ
omy of the parcel post. the express
carriers must, on that account, be al
lowed to charge higher rates than 9TH
erwise would be reasonable-that is
10 say. the commission is called upon
TO take from shippers of the country
all the benefit they receive from the
parcel post and give II to the express
companies In the form of higher rates
upon the remaining business"
The new system of rates is not only
simplihcation of existing rate struc-
lures and methods. but, In the opinion
OF rate experts, lays the foundation for
future practice In all rate revisiona.
While the commission has not consid-
cred the practicability of the applica-
tion OF the block system to the making
of freight rates. 1t is Known that the
question may be taken up almost at
any time. With standard freight rate
once established between blocks In
stead of points and all other rates
stated In percentages of the standard.
the mystery of the present complicat-
ed maze of freight rates. in the opin-
ION OF the commissions experts, would
be solved.
Classification by the Commission.
The basis OF the classification pre-
scribed by the commission is that all ar
ticles OF merchandise of ordinary value
ARE to be carried at first-class or ordi-
nary merchandise rates. Articles of food
or drink, with few exceptions. are sec
ond class. and are to be carried at 75
per cent of the first-class rate.
All rates based upon owners risk are
eliminated. The rates for newspapers and
periodicals. as Well as for bread and such
articles. for which specially low rates

Reductions in express rates which will

1913. Notable reforms in practices also
were ordered.
The most important change prescribed
by the order is by way of modification
of the present graduated scale of parcel
rates. One hundred pound rates for
short distances either have been left un-
changed or slightly reduced; for longer
distances they have been lowered; for
fifty pounds or less all rates have been
practically reduced. For packages of
more than four pounds going more than
300 miles and less than 2.GOO the new
express rates are generally lower than
the parcel post rates: for more than
1900 miles the rates are practically the
same.

4. |. WILSON OUT;
NEW MEXICO PLAN
Ambassadors Resignation Ac-
cepted as First Step in
Enforcing Policy.
NO U. S. INTERVENTION;
HUERTA STILL BANNED
Statement on Administration's Pro-
gram Promised Today at the
White House.

Secretary Bryan today announced the
acceptance OF the resignation Of Henry
Lane Wilson as ambassador to Mexico
The announcement came after a long
conference between the Secretary and
and after the ambassador himself had
intimated that such q course was to be
expected.
Secretary Bryan issued the following
statement:
Ambassador Wilson's resignation has
been accepted to take effect October IA.
The part which he felt it his duty to take
In the earlier stages of the recent revo-
luton in Mexico would make 1t difficult
for him to represent the views Of the
present administration, in view OF the
situation which now exists"
To Outline New Policy.
The announcement came as a prelimi-
nary to a statement of the administra-
TONS future Mexican policy. which is
expected from the White House within
the next twenty-four hours.
Ambassador Wilson had rendered his
resignation three times. He was in New
York yesterday, and was called back
suddenly to Washington this morning.
He called at the White House tn s morn
ing. but did not see the president, and
then went directly to the State Depart
ment.
Ambassador Wilson has been stationed
in Mexico since December. 1909, and
prior to that had been minister to
Chile and to Belgium. He had also been
appointed minister to Venezuela and to
Greece. but declined both appointments.
He has been in the diplomatic service
since 1897. He was born in Indiana, but
his present home is in Spokane. Wash.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1913-08-04
Both Proposals Rejected.

The reason for the acceptance Of the
resignation of Mr.. Wilson is said to have
been the inability of the administration
to accept eth er of his two proposed
methods Of solving the Mexican problem.
One was the recognition Of Huerta and
the other was Intervention. President
Wilson agreed with neither Of these al
ternatives, 1t is understood.
The ambassador in the ordinary prac-
tice is entitled to sixty days leave. ex-
elusive Of Sundays. which accounts for
the fixing OF the date Of October IA in
the announcement. In the meantime no
appointment can be made of successor.
al a vacancy will not exist until after
that date. Consequently the American
embassy in Mexico will remain in charge
of Secretary O'Shaughnessy. correspond
