The reply of the minister of state WAS in the nature Of re- quest for more time in which the gov ernment would attempt to come to some understanding with the other powers of Europe in rcgard tO some concerted action.
 Upon heinz pressed by severnl dep uties of the opposition as to the req son that the government had not talk cn some action before this for the protection of French interests in Mex leo the minister replied that it had not seemed necessary as the Tinted States had guaranteed to afford pro- tecton to all foreigners and he under

stood that this had been done.
 The minister informed the chamber that he had recent information from Mexico saying that all of the foreign ships had been withdrawn from Vera Cruz with the exception. of the French squadron and that 1t had been the intention of the ministry to order these ships to leave as the United States had informed the French gov ernment that orders would be issued to the American diplomatic officers tc lend their aid md protection to all foreigners.
 The minister farther informed the deputies that there was a powerful fleet of American ships in Mexican waters and that he had today recefv- ed advices from the French ambassa- dor at Mexico City that orders had been received by the American admir- al in command of the fleet to pro- tect all foreigners.
 Deputy Augarde demanded to know what steps if any the United States would take to indemnify French citi- xens who had lost heavily on account of the revolution In Mexico seoinR that 1t was the apparent intention of the government Ia allow the Ameri- cans to handle the situation without any interference.
