Washington, ID. c.. Feb. 13.-FOllow-
ing an all days conference yesterday with
advisors. President Taft has decided to
put the responsibility of Mexican inter
vention on congress, if such course is
necessary, as it may be. The understand
ing was reached that should conditions
become more serious the president will
lay before congress the full facts for
immediate action.
Every preliminary has been arranged
in anticipation of such action. Thirty
five thousand men in the army, navy and
marine corps are i'll instant readiness
for such an outcome. The nucleus Of
the marching force of fifteen thousand
was put on orders to be ready to entrain
for Newport News today, where trans
ports await there under steam. Six
dreadnaughts with six thousand blue
Jackets aboard are now under full steam
for Mexican ports. Ten other crack
ships of the Atlantic fleet are at anchor
off Guantanamo, with nine thousand
wireless.
Unless one side or the other obtains
a decisive victory within forty eight
hours, Ambassador Wilson will be in
structed to induce American citizens in
Mexico City to 60 to the ports where bat
tleships are for safety.
1t is believed that the administration
will find it difficult TO adhere to a strict
nOn-interventiOn policy if Mexico City is
unchanged for the better within very
short time.

his and Diaz's forces, began at $40 this
morning. The MaderO batteries had been
supplied with additional ammunition
from some source during the night. The
Federals cont nued on the aggressive.
fighting at closer range today. The pO
sitiOns of the opposing forces was almost
the same. The brunt of the work Of the
attacking party. was put upon the heavy
cannon. Diaz replied from the arsenal,
with the big cannon machine guns. Shots
have continued falling in terri tory out
side the immediate section OF the fight
ing zone.
Great damage has been done in the
business section and also to residences.
At nine o'clock the fight ng had resolv-
ed itself into an artillery duel. MadcrO's
heavy guns are making 4 marked impress
sion upon the arsenal.
The Diaz rncn are rctOrting with shells
that went far outside the actual battle
zone. killing and wounding many. The
rules Of civilized warfare seemed forgotten
the leaders on both sides disregarding
them.
In a statement 10 the press Gen. Diaz
said he would accept no official position
in Mexico that he is merely seeking
peace, but is prepared for a supreme
struggle. He says he is confident Of sue
cess and asks the support Of the people
in the fight. Il am warning to bring
peace and save the nationality Of my
