Washington. July 25-While add
mlnistration officials here believe that
the crisis win not be reached in Mex
leo until the northern rebel armies
press closer to Mexico City and the
federal strongholds, indications to-
night were that an effort would be
made by the Washington government
10 pursue a well defined policy before
events reached a critical stage.
The first step in the formulation OF
ID policy will be taken tomorrow when
Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson viii
bring To the president ana Secretary
Bryan first-hand information of the
situation there. Mr. Bryan announced
tonight emphatcally that there was
no disposition on the part Of the ad-
mmstration here TO interrogate AM
bassador Wilson about the numerous
reports alleging activity on his part
in connection with the downfall of
Madero and the establishment of the
Huerta regime. He added that the
ambassador had been called merely
to throw light on present conditions
i'm the Uoublous republic
After Ambassador Wilson has con-
forred with Secretary Bryan, he viii
talk further with President Wilson
and probably win be asked TO appear
before the senate committee on for
eign relations.
That Ambassador Wilson had eX-
pressed on his arrival in New York
opposition to the proposals for medi-
alton and had indicated his sympathy
with the desire Of the lIuerta gov
crnment TO be recognized were com
municated informally to Mr.. Bryan
who made no comment.
Immediately after his conference
with the ambassador, MIR. Bryan is
scheduled to appear before the senate
committee on foreign relations furth-
cr to present the administrations plan
for a protcctorate over Nicaragua but
on the same occasion, it is expected
that he will be asked to outline the
developments toward a Mexican pol
icy Members Of the committee, as
well as the senate generally, are
strongly inclined toward some exc
cutvc action by which all factions in
the Mexican dispute can get arms
from the United States
1t was apparent tonight that the
present policy Of the administration
was to prevent all shipments of arms
TO either side pending a final deter
lnnation on this point
II is believed that after the presi
dent ana Secretary Bryan have OBJ
taincd from Ambassador Wilson his
own ideas and interpretations Of the
political situation in the Mexican
capital, the American government, in
q measure, viii reiterate views eX-
pressed in the Latin American state
meut made by President Wilson short
ly after his Inauguration in which he
proclaimed that the United States
had nothing to seek in Latin America
but the welfare Of its sister republics
With this in mind, the recent sug-
gcstion Of an American offer of mcdi-
alton may be followed as an evidence
Of the good intentions of the Wash
ington government. Information from
federal as well as constitutionalist
sources today, however, was to the
effect that neither side would consid-
er mediation by a foreign govern
ment The national pride Of the Mex
leans, il was pointed out, would not
allow Interference in internal politics.
If it develops that overtures Of the
United states toward peace We're not
iavorably received, it is expected that
the Washington government viii

question Of arms and ammunition. in

mat an sides can buy munitions Of

ed in many quarters here, would so
strengthen the constitutionalist cause
as TO bring matters to a crisis speedily
'nd bring about the overthrow Of the
IIuerta government. a contingency
which many Washington officials be-
heye is inevitable, though reports Of
q strengthening of the federal armies
are being received constantly by Of
