Gunboat Wheeling Leaves
Tampa for Vera
Cruz
CRISIS GRAVER THAN
THE DIAZ UPRISING
Guerilla Warfare Places Americans in
Mexico in State of Constant Dan
ger-Department Fears Even
Worse Outbreaks

Washington, January 2l.-Alarmed for
the safety of Americans whose lives are
in jeopardy because of widespread law
lessness of Mexican rebels in Vera Cruz
state and throughout southern Mexico,
the state department again has called
uron the navy to protect American in
terests in the republic.
Tonight the gunboat Wheeling Is steam
inS from Tampa. Fla, for Vera Cruz,
where Americans are said TO face
graver crisis than that relieved by the
cruiser Des Moines during the Dia2 up
rising last October
The request from the state department
to the navy came after the receipt of
long series of official reports from Am
bassador Henry Lane Wilson and consuls
in southern Mexican cities, all reflecting
a condition of anarchy, especially In the
state of Vera Cruz. where federal au-
thorities face the problem OF restoring
civil order with a dlsorganiZed and di-
vsded army Guerilla warfare, brigand-
age, saclxing of ranches and villages and
other desperate crimes place Americans
ana other foreign residents In state OF
constant danger and the latest advices
to the state department express fear OF
an even worse outbreak.
Adhere to Non-lntervention
When the Wheeling arrives In Vera
Cruz harhor, Americans and other for
eigners will be taken aboard and officials
express the hope that her display of
armament may have the same moral
effect that followed the arrival of the
Des Moines a few months ago. Today 8
action by the state department indicates
that the administration policy of nom
Intervention will be adhered to to the
close of President Taft's term of office
While the present administration will en-
deavor to take no action which will en-
barrass the succeeding regime, 1t Is taken
for granted that to the very end aggres-
sive action will be resorted to If dis
turbed conditions menace the safety of
American citizens.

Conditions Considered Serious

Washington, January 2l-Officials OF
the state department admitted that their
reports were of condition SO grave
as to indicate that the presence of a
United States warship was necessary to
protect Americans.
The first division of the Atlantic
fleet composed of the dreadnaughts
wyoming, North Dakota, Utah and
Florida, arrived at Colon last night for
target practice, while the remainder
of the big fleet is at Guantanamo. Any
of the dreadnoughts makes about Is to
20 knots an hour. The torpedo boats
Roe, Drayton, Mccall. Terry, Paulding,
Sterrett and Warrington, of much faster
speed, could transport marines "A little
quicker The distance from Colon to
Vera Cruz Is about 1900 miles and the
distance to the remainder of the fleet
at Guantanamo is about the same. Any
of the big ships could make it in three
days The situation on the Pacific is
no better. No adequate federal reiu-
forcements have arrived at Acapulco to
protest the town against the rebels.

Constantinople january Y.-There has
been a notable change in the tone of

unanimously declare that the porte has

best possible terms as it would be mis-
take TO continue the war in opposition
to the wishes of Europe.

POPULAR RECEPTION
Governor Wilson and Family to Be
Present at Inaugural
Function

Trenton. N j., January 21-Pres-
ident-elect Wilson today declared that
if arrangements were made for a pop
ular reception at the capitol building
as substitute for the inaugural ball
Mrs Wilson and the Misses Wilson
would attend
The governor said that the impress
sion that the members of his family
would not be present, probably had
arisen from his letter to William Cor
coran Eustis. the Inauguration chair
man.
Perhaps l did not make 1t clear in
my letter" said the governor, but
meant simply that the ladies should
not be expected to stand in line and
shake hands"
The President-elect said that while
he himself did not fear the strain OF
the hapdshaking ordeal. yet he thought
his family should be excused
The governor denied published re-
ports that he and Mrs Wilson had ia
vored abandonment Of the Inaugural
ball because of the possibility that the
dancers might indulge in the ..tur-
key trot" and similar dances. He said

"EUROPE'S BROKEN
FAITH is ATTACKED
Note Ambiguous as to Fate of Con-
stantinople-"Moral, Material and
Benevolent Support of the
Powers" Is Questioned

London, January 21.-Turkey, before pre-
senting her reply to the joint note of the
powers wishes to have explained certain
passages in the note. Instructions to this
effect have been sent to the Turkish am
bassadors accredited to the powers
Rechad Pasha, head of the Turkish
peace plenipotentiaries and Tewfilx Pasha,
ambassador to Great Britain. have been
particularly enjoined to seek elucidation,
as they are in London where the note was
prepared.
Explanations are to be requested on the
following points:
THE joint note says that in case of
the prolongation of the war, the fate OF
Constantinople might be put in ques-
tion. Does the note mean that the allies
might be allowed to attack, conquer and
remain in Constantinople. or does it mean
that the powers themselves might control
the government in the Ottoman capital?
The note speaks of 'the moral, ma
terial and benevolent support OF the pow
ers." What must Turkey understand by
that? How is this support to be extended
under what form; to what extent; what
guarantee is there of fulfilment OF this
promise?
Similarly what assurances do the pow
ers offer for the settlement OF the ques-
tion of the Aegean islands in such man
ner as to exclude further menaces TO the
security of Turkey?
Europe's Broken Faith
1t is stated that the Turkish delegates
in endeavoring TO obtain satisfactory
answers to these questions, have made
reference to what they describe as
Europe broken faith' in failing to live
up to the promise made four months ago
that the status quo would not be changed,
whatever the result of the war.
A distinguished diplomatist. losing pa
tience has recommended them not to
pretend to be more naive than they are,
since the Turks know well that the state
ment of the European powers contem-
plated only a case in which the Ottoman
arms were victorious. as in 1897, when
Turkey defeated Greece, on which oc-
easion Europe would not permit a change
in the status quo.
