Big Guns in Action.

Fighting throughout the morning was
very heavy. The big caliber guns in the
arsenal were almost constantly in use.
The federal artillery brought another big
siege gun into action. but did not sue
ceed in silencing the rebel fire.
rhe engagement was very severe almost
till noon. but the firing then dWindled
and developed into an interchange of vol
leys of rife bullets. The rebels tried to
pick off the fe,eeral artillerymen as they
were serving the guns.
The United States embassy and the
district surrounding it in which there
are many American residents was not
touched by any projectiles after the
removal of the federal battery which
had heretofore drawn the fire of the
rebel gunners at the arsenal
Battle Is Begun Early.
VERA CRUZ. Mexico, February IL
Hostinties in Mexico City between the
rebels and federals were vigorously re-
sumed at an early hour this morning,
according to information reaching here
from the capital.
The positions of the two forces had
not undergone any change Felix Diaz
and his followers still occupied the
arsenal and several strategical points
In that district. from which they were

pf the situation.
Not Regarded as Threat.
The answer of the President. while de-
cidedly more pointed than anything pre-
Vious the administration has had to say
on the Mexican situation. was not con-
.idered a threat to intervene unless the
,.tuation becomes much worse than at
Iresent.
In strange contrast with the midnight
activities of President Taft and his capi-
net for the last few nights on the Mexl-
can question, the White House was today
quiet and destitute of all news bearing
upon the same subject
President Madero's message to Presi-
dent Taft Saturday. asking the American
government not to intervene, and Whlch
called forth Mr. Taft's reply of warning,
was as follows:
President Madero's Appeal.
Il have been informed that the govern
ment over which your excellency presides
has ordered to set out for the ports oI
Mexico war vessels with troops to disem-
ark and come To this capital to give
guarantees OF safety To Americans.
Undoubtedly the information which
you have and which led you to take this
action is inexact and exaggerated. for
the lives of Americans in this capital are
at present in no danger If they will aban-
Ion the zone of fire and concentrate in
certain points of the city or its suburbs
where tranquility Is absolute and where
the government can give all classes guar
antees-
Responsible for Damages.
IF YOU order Americans resident here
"a do that following the precedent estab-
usbed by your own orders previously is
sued. danger to the lives of Americans
and other foreigners will be obviated. Re-
garding what material damages may be
suffered by foreigners this government is
ready to accept all responsibility accord
ing TO the obligations of international
law.
consequently 1 ask your eXcellency to
order your men-of-war not to dfsembark
troops in Mexico, as this act VIII cause a
eonflagragtion and terrible consequences
IF more extent than the ones we have TO
contend with at present.
II assure your eNcellency that this gov
.lnment is taking all measures necessary
in order that the rebels In the arsenal
wilI do the least harm possible to lives
md property in the capital, and 1 nave
hopes that everything will be peacefully
ranged in very short time.
Passing Through Crisis.
1T is true that my country at this
moment is passing through a terrible
crisis. The Decentralization Of American
troops would only increase the dangers
of the situation, and be a very lament
able error. IL would do great harm to a
nation which always has been a loyal
friend to the United States, as well as
contribute to the dangers surrounding the
establishing of true democratic govern
ment here, similar to that Of the great
american nation.
II appeal TO the equitable just senti.
nents that have been the criterion OF
YOUR government. and that undoubtedly
represent the sentiments of the great
American people. whose destinies YOU
nave guided with so much skill and pa
t-iotism.
