Taft Will Intervene.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 23.-Thc kill
ing OF Francisco Madero and Jose
Suaerz. deposed president and vice
president OF Mexico. after provisional
President General Huerta had as
sured American Ambassador Wilson
of the safety OF both from just such
attacks. created a painful impression
III administration circles here today.
When the first feeling of surprise
had passed. Il was realized by Off
cials that this last tragic event had
added greatly to the gravity Of the
situation and undoubtedly has placed
an additional strain upon the al
ready tense relations between this
government and that in the Mexican
capital. Still. as President Taft him
self declared. the event in itself was
not sufficient to demand any de-
parture from the policy of strict non
Intervention which so far has gov
erned his administration.
Probably the immediate result
will be to hasten the military and
naval forces in order TO have the
soldiers and sailors and marines
ready TO a call for instant embark

Mexico should demand their employ
ment.
Active Intervention.
The one danger to be apprehended.
which almost certainly would result
in the launching of an army OF in
vasion. would be the committing Of
some act or acts in Mexico that
would endanger the lives OF foreign
citizens and Americans
foreigners by the tactic consent OF
the Huetra government. or even the
exhibition toward them OF mob vIo-
lence clearly beyond the ability of
the provisional government to pre-
vent. probably would be the signal
for active Intervention.
