ORDER I]ED FOR MARINES
TO Be m READINESS TO LAND
State Department at Washington is Cut Off From Com
munication With Mexico City for 16 Hours
MORE THAN 1000 MEN ARE ON BArTLESHIPS
Secretary Knox Insists That President Has Authority to Send Expedition
Into Mexico Should Necessity Ase-Amy Reorganization Will
Help in Case Troops Are MobIized

Washington, Feb, 1.-At ten
O'Clock today the state department
was cut off from communication with
Mexico City for sixteen hours. The
administration hopes that if Madero
abdicates Francisco De Ia Barra will
succeed him and peace follow, as De
La Barra is popular with the Mexi-
cans. 1t was admitted at the stat,
department that even if peace comes
it will be months before the new ad-
ministration is stable enough to en-
force order and that Americans and
foreigners will continue to be in dan
ger.
Absence of official news caused or
ders to be issued to the commanders
of the warships Georgia. Virginia,
Nebraska and Vermont, all in Mexi-
can waters, to be prepared to land
marines and blue jackets if Ambassa-
dor Wilson or any of the American
consuls should need their services.
Landing a large force of marines,
Secretary Knox says, wouldn't consti-
tute Intervention, but would be mere
ly exercising police power" More
than two thousand marines and blue
jackets are available from the four
vessels. Knox also insisted that Pres
ident Taft has ample authority to
send such an expeditionary force to
Mexico City should necessity arise.
Asked if Ambassador Wilson was
not being relegated to the rear in
Mexico's diplomatic situation by the
fact that De La Barra is residing at
the British embassy and might have
his headquarters there if a provision
al government was established, Knox
said: "I don't regard the reported
circumstances as indicating England
is superseding America in the diplo-
matte activities. De La Barra prob
ably went there because the Ameri
can embassy was crowded. He might
just as we'll have gone to the legation
of any other country. I attach no
significance to the fact that rumors
that Madero would resign were an
nounced from the British embassy by
De La Barra.'
De La Barra is one of Mexico's
wealthiest men, and generally re-
garded as representing the big finan-
cial interests of England and Ameri-
ca.
Secretary of War Stimson says that
reorganization eliminates the neces-

sity of sending army posts separate
mobilization orders. "The import
ance of this reform" Stimson added.
"will be appreciated when we remem-
Der that in 1911 it required sixteer
days to mobilize a single division of
twelve thousand troops in Texas.
while in 1912 the Bulgarians required
only eighteen days 70 mobilize two
hundred and fifty thousand men,
cross the enemy's border and beat the
Turks into submission"
Reorganization of the army was
recently ordered by President Taft to
facilitate mobilization. 1t divides the
organization into four divisions with
three infantry headquarters at New
York, Chicago and San Francisco and
one cavalry headquarters at San An
tonic.

to induce him to abdicate and permit
the election of IA new president. SEN
atOrs and members of the cabinet are
meeting again to renew the plea.
Mexico City, Feb. 5.-Accompanied
by De La Barra a committee of sem
ators left the chamber of deputies this
afternoon twith the intention of ask
ing Madero to resign. 1t is proble-
matical how Madero will receive the
committee. although he intimated he
would retire If the senate requested.

to resign.
Mexico City, Feb. 15.-After the
customary hour for breakfast, fight
ing was resumed today. The feder-
ais repeatedly charged the Diaz
stronghold at the arsenal, but were
repulsed with heavy losses as rapidly
as they advanced. Madero is fighting
with his back to the wall, apparently
believing the stability of the govern
ment depends on today's battle. 1t
is known that many of the federal Of
ficers are tired of fighting and but
for the firmness of General Huerta
would desert.
THE rebels renewed the cannonad-
ing of the national palace and she'll
ed Madero's private residence which
was badly damaged.
Congress met this afternoon to re-
ceive Madero's resignation but there
is no reason to believe 1t will be forth
coming as long as General Huerta
can keep his troops at the Palace
loyal.
The troops fought from ten last
night until early today.
