ALLEGED Atrocities Excused.

A notable feature Of the days deVel-
opments was a tendency In high quar-
tiers not exactly to condone the alleged
atrocities which have been committed
by the Constituencies in Mexico
but at least to explain them as having
been merely a part Of the war that Is
going on. The incidents are deplored
by the administration as sad events,
IL is made clear, but the President
does not appear to be greatly shocked.
He considers that things like the kill
ing of prisoners have happened on both
sides, and that those who have suffered
are those who have played fast and
loose with one side or the other o-A
got caught at II.
A consular report from Torreon was
cited to-day by the highest authority
in Washington as showing that there
has been exaggeration Of conditions.
This report described the battle OF Tor
reon, and the President, after reading
it carefully, found that it did not con-
firm the sensational stories which
came from Mexico at the time.

is recognized to be practically repe-
titlon of his proclamation and decree
dissolving the previous Congress. New
ertheless some comment is being made

Notice has also been taken Of the
passage in which Huerta accuses the
Northern rebels Of bleeding their coun-

No Reason to Demur.

AS Germany, France and japan some
time ago took similar precautions in
the interest of their subjects in Mex
leo, 1t was not felt by the administra-
ton that there was the slightest rea-
son to demur at the course of Great
Britain.

from the Mexican dictator contingent
upon such recognition, have been dis
PEELED by the assurance Of Lord Cow
dray to the Foreign Office that he has
obtained no concessions whatever from
Huerta or his administration, which
assurance has been duly conveyed to
stances. it is argued that Lord Cow
dray could not at any time ask the
support of the Foreign Office for any
Huerta concessions, and therefore that
nothing is to be feared from the pos
sible attempted ratification of any con-
cessions Huerta might seek to grant
to Pearson & Son.
The e man Ambassador called at
the State Department to-day and dis
cussed the situation with Secretary
Bryan. He mentioned the presence of
the German warship now in Mexican
waters and said that she was there
simply to look after German interests.
II was finally admitted officially to-
day that William Bayard Hale has
been on an official mission 10 Mexico.

Reports to President Indi-
cate Dictator's Regime
Is Crumbling.
PROCESS SLOW BUT
STEADILY GOING ON
No Fault Found with Great
Britain for Sending Her
Cruisers to Mexican Ports.
TFrom The Tribune Bureau. J

Washington, Nov. 20.-It was stated
officially this afternoon that the re-
ports received by the administration
indicated that the regime OF Huer'd
was crumbling. The process was Slow
but there was evidence at hand, II was
plainly stated, which justified the
Presidents belief that the Mexican
situation would solve itself.
When this announcement was ma"e
opportunity was also taken TO pear
down hard on the soft pedal regarding
sensational stories. 1t was specif1cally
denied that Nelson O'Shaughnessy, the
American charge d'affaires In Mexico
City, had received any important m
structions which brought on an acute
phase. as had been reported from Mex
leo City.
The situation at Tuxpam, near TAM
pico, a centre of British and American
oil interests, is apparently acute and
there is no doubt that it has much to
do with the sending Of British war
ships to -Iexican waters. England has
asked that the United States protect
British oil interests at that place. The
request came through Mr.. Page, Amer
lean Ambassador IN London. The gist
of the representations was sent to Rear
Admiral Fletcher, commanding The
American ships in Mexican waters
The battleship Louisiana and the gun
boat Wheeling are already at Tuxpam
and the New Hampshire is on the way
having been sent by Rear Admiral
Fletcher from Vera Cruz at the re-
quest of Rear Admiral Boush, who IS
aboard the Louisiana and in charge of
affairs at Tuxpam.

Watching Tuxpam.

The fnsurrectionists, who were about
to attack Tuxpam, issued warning on
November II that all foreigners must
get out by November 20, to-day, and
the administration is waiting with
keen interest for developments Al
though announcement is made that one
of the British cruisers now on the way
to Mexico will go to Tampico, 1t is
considered highly probable that the
ship will proce TO Tuxpam Lord
Cowdray, head Of Pearson e. Son, Ltd,
which owns great oil interest at Tux
pam, is deeply interested, and is under
stood to have discussed the matter OF
protection with Mr.. Page in London.
Only two British cruisers and not
three will go to Mexican waters, and
they will not go to Vera Cruz. One Is
being sent to Tampico and the other
to Puerto Mexico, at the Gulf Of Mex
leo end of the Tehuantepec Railway.
.Apropos of the sending OF the cruis-
ers TO Mexican ports, the following
statement was made public at the
British Embassy to-day:
THE statement which appeared in
the press this morning to the effect
that the British cruiser squadron in
West Indian waters has sailed for
Vera Cruz is incorrect. Two ships are
being sent, one TO Tampico and one TO
Puerto Mexico; and the State Depart
ment was informed accordingly by the
British Embassy on November 49,"
1t was said at the Department Of
State that although this Information
was furnished TO the department yes
terday, II did not reach Mr.. Bryan
until to-day. In announcing the dis
patch OF the cruisers it was explained
by the representative Of the British
Ambassador that II must not be con-
strued as showing any want of conf
dence in the American navy to protect
British interests and subjects, but was
due solely to the persistent requests Of
such subjects, who felt that in times
Of peril they were entitled to such re-
assurance as they could gain from
seeing their own flag flying from YES
sells in Mexican ports. The ambassa-
doris thanks for the protection already
afforded to British subjects by the
American warships was also expressed
No Reason to Demur.
AS Germany, France and japan some
time ago took similar precautions in
the interest Of their subjects in Mex
leo, 1t was not felt by the administra-
ton that there was the slightest rea-
son to demur at the course of Great

"In the second place. tho Chu1uhs
Cardinal in this country has become
an ecclesiastical superior Of tho Ne,
tional Conference of Catholic Trado
Unionists, and its archbishops and
bishops have given their patronage
to that conference. In this way. the
Church, without demanding compuk
sorry trade unionism, has encouraged
the principle. has asserted the right
Of the workers to combine for their
mutual protection, and has enoour-
aged her sons and daughters to take
their places with their fellows" S.
The Bishop of Northampton advised
all workers to join trade unions. He
said that in England there was con.
6ltion Of workers so vile. so unjust,
SO devoid of comfort, that not only
was it destructive of their comfort,
but it made spiritual work we'll nigh
impossible. Economic science itself,
the goddess inhu1nan sconcmtcs ct the
early Victorian age, was dead, buried,
and damned. Moreover, the indus.
trial classes had done the wisest thing
they could do by taking their own
interests into their own hands. They
had organized themselves, and their
organization had grown up by leaps
and bounds and had become great
power in the world, comparable only
with the rival power Of accumulated
wealth. But, best of all, there had
been created in this country a mess
of public opinion which had been
growing year by year. ttll now It had
reached such a mighty volume that
1t has crushed out contrary viewp the
whole country through, 80 that the
claims of the workfng classes wess
