The southern members of the com.
mittee are already on the ground
fighting bitterly against the plan. The
progressive Republicans who support.
ed Col. Roosevelt at Chicago up to
the time he 5olted the party, are
working tooth and nail for 1t. The
conservative Republicans from the
east are on the fence. It is this
group that will decide the question.
It was generally believed today that
the convention will be called. But

true, promise to make him as much OF

Of the rIexican difficulty as Huerta 10
already considered.
Omcials here were not prepared TO
day to admit that the charges are just.
But they are being investigated ana
confidential agents now on the ground
are expected to place the state de'
parment In possession of the exact
facts within the next "a hours.
French, German. English and Span
ish interests are all alleged to have
suffered at Villas hands. Because
wire communication with Chihuahua
City. Il confined chiefly to ofncial busl'
ness, It Is hoped by Secretary Bryan
that most OF the stories OF alleged
outrAges are exaggerated.
II villa has established himseR as
dictator Independent Of Carranza ana
has forced foreigners to part with vast
sums to save their lives. as has been
allgeed, the situation is admittedly
grave. This government has tacitly
rkresd 10 protect all foreigners, ana
the various governments VIII insist
that this promise be kept.
SO Tar no ofYicial protests have been
made here. The Spanish ambass tdor
unofacially communicated to Secretary
prvan reports received by him OF out
RACES against Spaniards. Bryan imme-
diately telegraphed Consul Marion
,etcher at Chihuahua City, directing
him to notify Villa that this govern.
ment expected ample protection OF all
foreigners, Spaniards included, anu
that he (Villa) would be held person
allv responsible Tor this. Bryan SO

The situation at Tampico is believed
to be much improved. The constitu-
tionalistas have abandoned their at'
tack because OF lack Of artillery VIII
