Bryan Asks Details
Of Holding of Ship.

WASHINGTON, Oct- 24.-Govern
ment wheels turned rapidly to-day to
provide protection for Americans in
Mexico.
Secretary of State Bryan cabled
Consul Canada at Vera Cruz asking
for immediate details concerning the
detention by a Mexican gunboat OF
the Ward line steamer Moro Castle,
on which Mrs. John Lind, wife of the
Presidents special envoy in Mexico,
is a passenger
1t IS expected that the MORO Castle
incident would make the basis of a
sharp note to the Mexican govern
ment as soon as President Wilson has
had an opportunity to review the case.
None of the administration officials
would discuss the incident to-day
pending a detailed report from Envoy
Lind which is believed to be on its
way to the State Department.
Upon receipt of Information to-day
that several OF General Felix DiaZ's
aides have been arrested and are i'm
prsoned at Vera Cruz by the military
authorities, Secretary Bryan instruct
ed Charge O'Shaughnessy at Mexico
City to endeaVor to obtain fair
trial for the prisoners.
Secretary Bryan returned TO Wash
ington from New Jersey early in the
day. IT is possible that he may aban-
don his stumping tour Of Maryland
this week and next in order TO "he on
the lid" in the absence Of President
Wilson on his Southern trip. The
President will be in Philadelphia to-
morrow, and leaves that night for
Mobile, Ala. He will not return to
Washington until Tuesday or We'd

WASHINGTON. Oct 24.-Secretary
Of State Bryan issued the following
statement to-day:
Our embassy informs US that at II
o'clock yesterday General Huerta re-
ceived the diplomatic corps and in
the presence of his cabinet gave out
a statement in which he said he had
reason to fear that some Of his friends
would propose him as a candidate for
the presidency at the polls and would
vote for him. he wished to make it
known that such votes would be null
and void, that even If he should re-
ceive majority of votes cast, his
election would be null and void, and
that he would not accept a mandate
from the people at this time.
He desired to impress upon the
