SHOWS NEW MOVE
Reports to Mexico City Tell
of One Massacre and Fears
of Another

Nogales, Ariz.-Special Envoy Hale
is in u conference here with Gen.
CarranZa and the e:ltire Mexican
constitutionalists' cabinet.
Washington, ID. C.-Conferences
Eeing held between William Bayard
Hale and General Nenustiano Carran-
IA at Nagales were interpreted in Of
fetal circles as the first open move
by the United States to show it's in
terest in the constitutional movement
in Mexico
No officials would comment upon
Hale's exact status but on previous
occasion, when he spent three months
in Mexico City. the president let it be
known that Hale was there as his
personal friend. There is little doubt
that, while Hale still retains the
characted of unofficial envoy, he is
furnishing the government with in
formation for official purposes.
Japanese Ship to Mexico.
Toxic, Japan.-The Japanese arm
eredcruiser Izumo has been ordered
to Mexican waters for the protection
of Japanese subjects.
The official Japanese foreign office
declared that the sending of the
lZumo to MeXica was merely precau-
tionary measure in case the situation
became critical. The impression pre-
walls that the Japanese government
first sounded the United States in
connection with sending the worship,
to avoid possible misinterpretation
of such action.
Massacer is Feared.
Mexico City, MeXico-The federal
garrison at the post OF Tuxpam, state
of Vera Cruz, has asked the war de-
partment for reinforcements to de-
fend the city against the attack of
rebels. The garrison numbers only
$50 men. and fear of massacre is
expressed.
Arthur Payne, United States coun-
sci at TuXpam, in his dispatches es-
Inmates the attacking rebels at more
than one thousand The battleship
have arrived at the harbor OF Tux
pam.
The news is received that on Satur-
day band of rebels massacred five
FEDERAL officers and nine soldiers af-
ter "a hour fight at Muzquiz, Goa
hula state, where the command vain
ly attempted to protect six hundred
inhabitants of the town from pillage
and assault The federal officers
spurned the offer of the rebels to
spore the1 lives II they would sur
render.
Cabinet With President.
Washington, D.C.-President Will
sons cabinet stands firmly behind
him in his efforts to force the retire
ment of Provisional President Huerta
as a necessary step to the pacitication
of Mexico. For more than two hours
the cabinet discussed yesterday af-
ternoon every phase of the Mexican
situation. The concensus of opinion
was that the United States should
not take a single backward step in
it's program to restore constitutional
government in Mexico.
The secretary favored steps which
would convince Huerta that the
United States was in earnest in it:
demands. Some of the cabinet fav
ored lifting the embargo OH arms a!
a practical and perhaps early solu
tion of the difficulty but there wa!
no final decision on that point.
There is a hope on the part of thu
president and Secretary Bryan tha
a measure so radical as permitting
expectation of arms may not be re
quired to solve the problem. In
tluences are at work which in tn
opinion of many officials may fore,
the early collapse of the Huert;
regime. There is closer under
standing and more frequent com
munications between the state de
partment here and foreign govern
ments generally than has been il
evidence at any time since the Mex
ican problem became so widely in
ternational.
What the United States is seekin
is an acquiesence in it's policy by tn
powers such an approval to carr
with it encouragement of financia
aid to the Huerta regime throug
foreign channels. A few weeks @
financial isolation, it is believed
high officials here, will force the re
tirement of Huerta.
