Americans-Gambo Note Received
by Envoy Lind.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-Pres.
dent Wilson tonight warned all Amer |
leans to leave Mexico at once. At j
the same time the American embas- |,
sy and all consular representatives
throughout the southern republic |
were instructed to notify all officials,
civil and military in Mexico" that
they would be held strictly RESPONSE
BILE for harm or injury done to Amer
leans or their property.
Secretary Bryan dispatched long
kilograms to the embassy and all con-
sular representatives, quoting ex-
tracts from President Wilson's ad-
dress to congress today and instruct
ed the consuls to render every aid
possible to departing Americans, fur
nishing transportation and any 9th
er pecuniary assistance to the needy.
They were informed that sufficient
number of ships would be provided to
carry away these in the sea coast
towns.
| Foreign governments will be noti-
fed of the action of the United States
SO that they may give similar advice
but the American consuls will help
all foreigners in any emergency
Within a day or two announcement
is expected of the mobilization of a
large number of American troops
along the southern frontier to enforce
neutrality in the traffic of arms and
munitions of war.
These developments followed close
ly upon the reading by President
Wilson of his address to congress to-
! day, in which he outlined the policy
of the United States toward Mexico
as one of absolute noninterference
and strictest neutrality. The Presi-
dent held out hope for a resumption
of negotiations and ultimate success
of a policy of persuasion backed by
the moral force of the governments
of the world.
First results of the Presidents OPP
timism were apparent when Secretary
Bryan announced the receipt Of a
message from John Lind, now at Vera
Cruz, stating the Senior Gamboa, Mex
lican minister of affairs, had sent a
new note. Secretary Bryant describ-
led the situation as encouraging,
and commented on the fact that he
had for several days used the word
unchanged" He said that while the
Lind message contained only a sum-
mary of the Gamboa note, sufficient
had been received to warrant taking
an encouraging view He added that
the Gamboa note was in reply to the
supplementary suggestions made by
Mr.. Lind before leaving Mexico City
The President was particularly
pleased with his reception by con
gress. Not only from the applause
that greeted him as he began his ad
dress and at it's conclusion, but
through personal congratulations, he
felt assured that he had behind him
te undivided support Of congress ir
respective Of political party.
TIE President had an informal tall
with Senator Root, republican, in the
speakers room just before he was es
corted to the house rostrum and learn
that the New York senator would
make speech in support of the ad
ministration's policy. Mr.. Root. ut
Iterancas are liable to attract atten
ton in Latin-America because Of his
famous tour there few years ago Of
secretary of state.
All previous demonstrations n
