Washington. Feb. 16.-After confer
ring for some time this evening with
the Secretary of State, President Taft
issued a call for meeting of the en-
tire Cabinet. The call was responded
10 by every member with the exception
OF Secretary Wilson. The cabinet was
still In session at late hour.
Mr.. Knox laid before the President
long resume Of reports from Ambas-
sador Wilson picturing in detail the re-
volt of Diaz and the efforts of Madero

Conditions Growing Worse.

Latest advices from Ambassador VIII
son indicate that the situation i'm Mex
leo City ia growing steadily worse"
despite the short armistice. and the
fact that President Madero has yielded
10 the more insistent demands of the
American Ambassador. Americans and
other foreigners took advantage OF the
cessation of hostilities to flee from the
danger, many Americans. especially
women and children. departing for
Vera Cruz. where they expect the
United States battleships 10 afford pro-
lection.
Ambassador Wilson declares that
there Is no improvement whatever in
the situation" The message contain
ing this disquieting information was
sent to-day.
A large landing force will be avail
able at Vera cruz in the event Of a
crisis demanding protection TO Ameri-
cans at that port, and II IL believed that
the marines and bluejackets would be
able to cope with almost any situation
that might arise. There is grave dan.
ger however. for the Americans re-
In Mexico City.
The President was plainly disturbed
to learn that communication between
Mexico and the United States was pre-
carious and that an apparently strict
had been instituted by
Mexican authorities. His fear has been
that just such q condition might arise
and that Americans in Mexico City
might find themselves facing a situa-
ton like that which existed in Picking
during the Boxer rebellion.
There WAS little doubt expressed
here tonight that II q censorship is
being exercised this government Will
demand that the communications from
Ambassador Wilson and its replies

Washington. Feb. II (Monday).-
Secretary Knox Of the state Depart
ment was directed by President Taft to
reply early this morning to the request
of President Francisco I. Madero OF
Mexico for definite statement OF the
policy of the United states toward
Mexico.
The Cabinet. which was in session for
more than two hours, adjourning at
12:4O a. m., spent the time discussing
the terms Of the reply. Though no Off
cial statement was given out, it was
declared that Secretary Knox would
state that the attitude Of this govern
ment would remain just as it had been
for two years past.
The exact nature of the reply was not
disclosed, and it was stated that the
note would be dispatched to Madero at
once and probably would be made pub
lie later to-day.
Upon leaving the White House Sec
rotary Knox reiterated that interven-
ton was not now contemplated. nor
would there be any change in the naval
or military plans relating to Mexico.
Major General Wood, chief of staff,
on leaving the War Department before
the Cabinet meeting ended declared
that no additional orders to troops had
been given. He said it was not thought
necessary to increase the patrol on the
Texas frontier at Laredo and Browns
Vile, as requested by Governor Col
quit OF Texas.
