MEXICO CITY CUT OFF.
Continued from Page one.)

Washington, Feb. 17.-Mexico City
was virtually cut off from the out
side world, today, by the imposition
of an iron censorship
With no direct news dispatches
from there and only one official
despatch from Ambassador Wilson.
which simply said fighting had been
resumed and that the armistice had
been broken, President Taft and Off
Gals waited in suspense.
The first dispatches of the early dav
filtered down from Mexico City TO
Vera Cruz and said hostilities were
resumed.
Madero telegraphed close friends in
Washington, today, that he expected
definite results very soon" Those des-
patches came through promptly. The
Mexican embassy declared that no
dispatches whatever had been receiy
ed there and that il was depending
upon press dispatches for its infor
nation Of the fighting in Mexico City
President Taft's reply to Madero S
appeal for non intervention went for
ward by telegraph early today, and
was given out in Washington, when
See. Knox was advised that Madere
had received it. It is understood to
be a re-affirmation of the policy of the
United States to withhold interven
ton at this time and demand full pro-
lection for foreigners.
The army has gone as far as it can
under present arrangements for pos
slhie troop movement to Mexico. The
plan to send an expeditionary force
from Galveston has been confronted
with some difficulties in securing mer.
chant ships. The quartermaster gener.
al has an opportunity TO get some cat
tie ships, but it would take q week to
fit them out. 1t may be finally decid
ed to send some of the transports al
Newport News around to Galveston.
AT the war department, officers, who
had marched to the relief of the lega-
tons at Pekin, declared that ever
should all wire communication witt
Mexico City be lost, even stopping Am.
bassador Wilson's dispatches, thai
alone would not be cause for land
ing troops. 1t was pointed out that ir
such an event. the embassy would hav,
to resort to the use of messengers and
do its best to get its dispatches over
land to Vera Cruz or some other sea
port where communication was avail
able
