SPAIN ESPECIALLY oUTsP0KEN
on CONDITIONS IN MEXICO

Spain. 1t was learned yesterday. has
been especially outspoken in regard tc
conditions in Mexico. A great many
Spaniards have been killed as a result
OF the continued disturbances in the
North, and the Spanish government is
sure many more will be killed unless re-
lief is obtained from the present condi-
tions.
Spain has declared that the fate OF
Mexico lies in the hands OF the United
States, and has plainly indicated not
only a desire for some measures which
viii assure safety to its citizens. but dis
satisfaction with the existing policy.
France has made her position, clear.
though her Representatives have en-
deavored to avoid criticism OF the United
States.

erals have retreated to the forts COM
manding the city, and are preparing for
q rebel sieEe. The cruiser Maryland,
which reached Mszatlsn yesterday win
protect any American or foreign inter-
ests in or near the city.
of1ciai reports from Monterey In
dicated that the city stili Is held BY the
Federais despite reports to the contrary.
No Americans have been injured.
No detailed reports OF the result OF
Sundays elections have been received
here. but dispatches from outIyine sec
tions Of the republic indicate that little
interest was taken In the balicting by
any but the soldiers.
Four battleships OF the Atlantic Fleet
tine Nebraska. New Jersey. Rhode Island.
and New Jersey-were due 10 sail from
Hampton Roads for Mexico yesterday.
and while no report OF their departure
has been received at the E.Avy Depart
ment, II Is assumed thar they win leave
before the end of the day
The dispatch Of these additional ships
was ordered primarily in order that the
three battleships now on the east coast
Of Mexico might be relieved OF duty In
the tropics and come north. The change
at this time is due to a desire TO avoid
giving Huerta any ground for complaint
that the vessels in Mexican waters had
remained longer than the period of SIX
months for which the Mexican Congress
voted permission for them to stay. This
expired October q. but no complaint has
yet been forthcoming from Huerta, de-
spite his threats some weeks ago.
The impression prevails here. however.
that the ships now in Vera Cruz and
Tampico win remain there indefinitely,
so that the effect Of the maneuver win
be to more than double the number of
vessels in Mexican waters on the At
lantic side. 1t is admitted that the ves-
sells now there will not return IL the
situation in Mexico seems to indicate
that the United States may have to use
force. Evidence Of such indications are
thought to be increasing.

BRYAN WON'T COMMENT.
4 ambassador 6erard's Uniform Not
Subject of Discussion.

Secretary Bryan yesterday declined to
discuss reports from Berlin that upon in
structions from Washington Ambassador
Gerard had abandoned his plan of wear
ing d diplomatic uniform on ceremonial
occasions at the German court. Mr..
Bryan would not indicate in the slightest
degree whether the State Department
had. under his administration, taken any
stand on the question of dress of Amer
ican diplomatic representatives.
There is a statute forbidding American
diplomats to wear a uniform. For years,
however, there has been a tacit under
standing that American ambas assadors and
ministers might, if they chose, wear a
court dress. The majority have availed
themselves of this permission.
