WILSON WARNS REPUBLIC.

President Declares No More Revoits
viii Be Tolerated.
Washington, March 13.-In his first
official statement, President Wilson
on Tuesday served notice upon Mexico
and other Latin-Amesican republics
that his administration proposes to
support only those governments which
are based on law, and not upon ar
bitrary or irregular force.
He said further, as if he had in mind
the overthrow of President Madero by
General Huerta, that the United States
can have no sympathy with those who
seek to seize the power of government
to advance their own personal inter
ests or ambitions.
General Huerta was not the only fig
ure present on the mind of Mr.. Wilson
when he wrote his statement. He is
aware that Gen. Cipriano Castro is
seeking to regain the presidency OF
Venezuela, and that Gen. Zelaya has the
same purpose in mind in connection
with Nicaragua.
