No Pledge Given.

While President Taft IS message to
President Madero referred to the re-
ports that orders had been given to
land forces in Mexico as inaccurate,
it was noticeable that no pledge was
held out as to the future, nor was there
any engagement that the ordinary
preparatory measures now in progress
would be discontinued.
"In addition to ordering marines to
Guantanamo, word has been passed
quie y to military commanders Of the
interior posts to make ready for event
ualities.
1t was indicated, however, that this
only was an ordinary and proper means
of precaution. In fact, as was stated
by a cabinet officer today, the admin,
istration is most anxious TO prevent
the spread of the idea in Mexico that
the United States is contemplating the
dispatch OF an army to that country
Should that idea get in currency it
might precipitate the very trouble
which it is desired to avoid and en-
danger every American life In Mexico

Precautionary Measures.

Further precautionary measures
have been taken to safeguard the lives
and property Of Americans in Mexico,
30 far as that could be done. without
actually dispatching military force
TO the country. This problem has been
greatly complicated by the act Of the
Madero government, possibly without
the actual direction of President Ma
dero, in sending broadcast through Mex
ico news that armed Intervention by
America was about TO occur, in the
hope of inducing malcontents to drop
their temporary quarrel with the gov
crnment and respond to the patriotic
call to repel foreign invasion.

department was obliged late today to

BY TURK SOLDIERS

LONDON, Feb. 17-Turkish soldiers
early today attempted to assassinate
and succeeded in badly wounding Enver
Bey, the Young Turk leader.
A news agency dispatch by wireless

Bey was stabbed severely several
times. but gives no further details.
Enver last week made a disastrous
effort to pierce the flanks of the Bull
garian army on the shores Of the sea
Of Marmora with forlorn hope of
Ottoman troops, who were beaten back
with terrible losses.
He was one of the leaders In the re-
cent revolt Of the young Turks, -
which led to a renewal of the war be-
tween Turkey and the Balkan states,
Several threats against his life had
been made among the disaffected sol

Enver was a prominent military
leader in the war in Tripoli and was
called by European experts 'tthe best
