Word from Washington
 Awaited at Mexico

Mexico City, April 2O.-The Mexi- can capital awaited with intense in- terest the next word from Washing ten in reply to the refusal of Pro- visional President Huerta to comply with the demand of the United States that the Stars and Stripes should be internationally saluted at Tampico.
 rAn the morning papers published a, lengthy statement by the Mexican fofeign minister, Senor Portillo y Ro- jas, outlining the reasons for the position Huerta had taken up- namely that the American flag was not flying on the boat when the blue Jackets were arrested on shore at Tampico and that 1t had, therefore, not been insulted, and, that compli- ance with the demand for any un- conditional salute would be ihumilia- ting in Mexico.
 This statement was followed by Huerta's advice to Mexicans to re- frain from demonstrations, with the view of not embarrassing possible fu- ture negotiations.
 Many American residents have made preparations to stay in the Mexican capital whatever the out come of the present crisis unless they are positively ordered to leave by the Mexican authorities. They express the belief that they will not be harmed in any eventuality. Others are going to Vera Cruz or are making

Carranza and Villa
 Hold Conference

Juarez, Mex, April 2o.-The con- ference between Carranza and Villa considered of great moment by the rebels, began at Chihuahua today, ac- cording to an official report received hcre.
 It Is understood among rebel chiefs that they will take no part. in oppos- ing the United States over the Tam pico incident unless rebel territory Is invaded. .
 The navy department gave out this statement:
 American merchant vessels have been ordered out of Vera Cruz harbor in accordance with the presidents in- structions to consular officers to warn Americans to leave Mexico for tAas own safety

good many other nations which in other circumstances might have tackled the hornets nest, but this case is one in which the Monroe Doctrine saddles the United States with heavy obligations from which there is no escape"
 The Pail Mall Gazette, an opposition newspaper, says: "Our sympathy with the Americans does not blind us to the perils of the course to which they seem about to commit them selves"
 The Globe says: Upon the United States will be laid the extremely diff1- cult duty of protecting both It's own nationals and foreigners exposed to Mexican barbarity and, in all prob ability, of an eventual reorganization of the whole country.
 Undoubtedly General Huerta's action is a counsel of desperation adopted in the hope that all of the factions in Mexico will unite with him to repeal the Grange attack. Many observers are of the opinion that this may prove correct. In that case the United States has before 1t a gigantic task"
 The Evening Standard which also thinks that Huerta hopes to produce q wave of popularity for himself is of the opinion that he is mistaken. It says: General Villa Is unlikely to let dust be thrown into his eyes by such a maneuver. He is winning and knows 1t, and he has no intention of relinquishing the prize when it is al- most within his grasp"
 Continuing, the Evening Standard says intervention should be hailed with satisfaction by Europeans. Re- calling the murder of William S. Ben- ton. the British ranchman. at Juarez, and the damage done to British prop erty, it relates that Great Britain has altogether $3OO,0OO,OOO invested in Mexico and cannot afford to lose that sum. It believes the outcome will be that Mexico will be policed by a strong national army under American supervision.

FINANCIAL NEWS
MARKET AFFECTED BY
 MEXICAN SITUATION Possibility Of New Issues Of Cev- eTnmcntS Influences Decline.

New York. April 20, Wall St.. 1o.45 ters of the stock market at the open- ing today. While the market betrayed no nervousness over the acute stage reached in the Mexican crisis, it gave the bears an opportunity to make another drive such as they launched repeatedly and with considerable suc- cess last week. Quotations for Unit ed States government bonds on call were Ia to 3-4 lower, with the fours most affected. The decline in these was influenced by the possibility of a new issue of governments in case Of hostilities with Mexico. American stocks Were lowered fractionally in London, which tended to depress this market. Most of the active stocks were forced down about a point on active selling during the first fifteen minutes. The market met with good support on the decline and prices quickly hardened, with full recoveries in some cases Odl Stocks were espe- cially heavy.
 Close.-The market closed weak. The tendency was downward through out the day, except for a period in the forenoon when, after an opening break full recovery was affected. Liquidation and short selling were in full swing in the final dealings, with the principal shares showing losses of one to three points. Practically all of the stocks established new low levels.
