Washington, May Late tonight
Secretary Garrison said General Fun
sion had transmitted by way of cipher
cablegram some information which
refugees had brought from Mexico City
as to conditions in the Mexican capital.
The secretary declined to comment
upon them. He said, however, that no
aggressive movement of any kind by
the American forces was ordered.
1t was understood that the refu-
gees from Mexico City had informed
General Funston of the critical aspect
of affairs in the Huerta regime; that
a collapse might be expected momen-
tarily and that conditions of anarchy
might ensue The purpose of Gen.
Funston in making known these re-
ports to the war department was be-
lieved to advise the Washington ad-
ministration of the possibilities that
might develop from a fall of Huerta,
in order that if the American army is
compelled to rescue foreigners or re-
store order it may be fully equipped
for such an expedition.
Though not officially stated, 1t is
known that the high officials of the
war depart iitht dic oANtoeS - P'~~

DANIELS IS DRIVEN
To MAKE DEFENCE
OF STEPS IN MEXICO

Washington, May Bitter COM
plants by representatives of Ameri-
can oil interests at Tampico charging
that the navy had failed to protect
citizens of the United States and their
property at the besieged Mexican port,
caused the secretary to issue. a state
ment tonight justifying all steps TAX
en- up to the present time.
Mr.. Daniels declared that the course
of the government made it possible
to bring all Americans out of the
Tampieo district in safety and that its
first efforts always had been to protect
lives first
The statement announced that Ad-
miral Mayo refrained from sending his
ships into the river at Tampico to
bring out Americans only upon the
request of the British naval comman-
der there, who asked that, for the sake
of all foreigners, he be allowed to take
out the Americans. The secretary ex-
planned 1t would have been impossible
for Admiral Mayo 10 go into the river
with his ships to rescue refugees.
Even had it been possible, however"
continued the statement, ito have
brought these refugees safely on
board, word of aggressive action by
the Americans would have spread to
the surrounding country far swifter
than any relief expedition could have
travelled to their rescue and it is al
most certain that reprisai on Amert-
can citizens would have followed and
lives would have been lost. So clear
was this that the captain of tire Brit
ish man of war earnestly advised Ad-
miral Mayo not to send any ships
back to Tampico."

OF s. oil companies with interests in
the region Of Tampico, met tonight
