Washington, Aug 2.-Secretary Bry-

his request to congress to appropriate
100000 for bringing destitute Ameri-
cans out of Mexico had any connection
with any policy the administration may
evolve in dealing with the Mexican sit

quest for an appropriation are entire

planned upon any theory consistent with
an interest in the public welfare" he
said.

person desiring to leave Mexico, the
government is simply doing what it
does at any time when American lives
are in danger by insurrection and there
is no reason why anybody should at
