VILLAS VIEW OF 1T.

Torreon, Mexico-"I do not believe
the Tampico incident will result in war
between the United States and Mex

existing between President Wilson and
President Huerta, and question
whether even the bombarding of Tam

war against Mexico, since Huerta IL

STATEMENT FROM PRESIDENT

Following is the official statement is
sued as representing the views Of
President Wilson and the administra-
ton on Mexico:
in discussions In official circles in
Washington Of the present Mexican
situation the following points have
been very much dwelt upon:
1T has been pointed out that, In
considering the present somewhat
delicate situation in Mexico, the un-
pleasant incident at Tampico must not
be thought of alone. For some time
past the de facto government of Mex
leo has seemed to think mere apollo
gies sufficient when the rights OF
American citizens or the dignity Of
the government Of the United States
were involved and has apparently
made no attempt at either reparation
or the effective correction of the seri-
Gus derelictions of its civil and mill
tary officers.
Orderly Placed In jail.
Immediately after the incident at
Tampico an orderly from one of the
ships of the United States In the har-
Dor of Vera Cruz, who had been sent
ashore to the post office for the ships
mall, and who was in uniform and
who had the official mail bag on his
back. was arrested and put into Jail
by the local authorities. He was sub
sequently released and a nominal pun
lshment was inflicted upon the officer
who arrested him, but 1t was signif-
cant that an orderly from the feet of
the United States was picked out
from the many persons constantly 60
Ing shore on various errands, from
the various ships In the harbor, rep
resenting several nations.
Official Dispatch Withheld.
Most serious of all, the officials In
charge of the telegraph Office at Mex
leo City presumed to withhold an off,
cial dispatch of the government of the
United States to its embassy at Mex
leo City, until 1t should have been
sent to the censor and his permission
received to deliver 1t, and gave the
dispatch into the hands of the charge
daffaires of the United States only
upon his personal and emphatic de-
mand, he having in the meantime
learned through other channels that
a dispatch had been sent him which
he had not received.
United States Singled Out.
1T cannot but strike anyone who
has watched the course of events in
Mexico as significant that untoward

Washington. - General YictoYiana
Huerta. provisional President Of Meg
lea, fatty refused Sunday TO accede 70
the unconditional demands Of the
United States that he salute the
American flag, and Congress viii be
asked by President Wilson Monday for
authority to use armed force TO uphold
the honor and dignity Of the nation.
Negotiations with Huerta over the
demand for salute in reparation for
the arrest Of American bluejackets at
Tampico On April 10 came 10 close
Sunday at 9 O'Clock, the last hour
given by President Wilson for a favor.
able response from the Mexican dicta-
tor. The final word Of Huerta to
Charge O'Shaughnegsy was a refusal
70 comply unless the United States
would guarantee in writing that his
salute be returned.
President Wilson at midnight was
on his way TO Washington from White
Sulphur Springs, w. Va, preparing TO
read message TO Congress in joint
gcsgion as early as II can be arranged
Monday. In the meantime American
war fleets were moving down both
coasts on their way to Mexican waters
to carry out the Presidcnts plan for
reDrigalg.
No Formal Declaration OF War.
The crisis thus reached does not
mean that there would be a formal
declaration OF war, because the United
States could not declare war against a
government which 1t does not rec
ognize President Wilson will seek
authority, however, to send all the
armed forces into Mexico TO seize first
the ports OF Tampico and Vera Cruz
and the railroad trestle leading from
Vera Cruz toward Mexico City.
The President directed that Cab
met meeting be called for 1890 o'clock
tomorrow, when the final arrange
ments for pacific blockade Of Mexi-
can ports and other steps in the Presi-
dents program will be deliberated
Can NO Longer Protect Foreigners.
The break that finally has come with
Mexico will make 1t impossible, 1t was
declared Of high authority, for the
United States to further protect for
eigners in that republic. and foreign
governments have been notified Of the
gltuation in this regard
The President, 1t was declared, not
only would ask Congress for authority
TO employ the armed forces to uphold
the honor Of the nation, but also for an
appropriation, a deficiency already
having been created because Of the ex-
pensive naval operations In anticipa-
ton OF Huerta's defiance of this gov
eminent
The President probably will ask fur
ther that the Senate pass the vol
unteer act, which already has passed
the House, providing for pressing into
regular service the militia regiments
In the various States.
Looks To Wilson To Clarity Situation.
Representative Baker, one OF the
many members OF Congress waiting at
the White House Offices for news, said
President Wilson's action In this crisis
would clarity the whole situation"
The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1914-04-24

incidents such as these have not oc-
CURED in any case where representa-
tives OF other governments were con-
cerned, but only In dealings with rep
resentatives Of the United States, and
that there has been no occasion for
other governments to call attention to
such matters or to ask for apologies.
These repeated offenses against
the rights and dignity of the United
States, offenses not duplicated with
regard to the representatives of other
governments, have necessarily made
the impression that the government
OF the United States was singled out
for manifestations of III will and con-
tempt" :
Many Precedents for Action.
The president feels that he has am
pie authority for the preparatory meas
ures he has adopted.
President Mckinley went SO far as
to send an expedition to Picking dur
ing the Boxer revolt.
In 1851 the United States sloop OF
war Dale visited the island of Johan-
ma and under threat of bombarding the
town obtained $1,000 as a measure OF
redress for the unlawful imprison.
ment OF the captain of an American
whaler.
In 1863 the Pembroke, a small Amer
lean steamer, was fired upon by jap
anese shore batteries. The American
minister demanded redress for the in
suit to the American flag, and the
commander of the United States war
snip Wyoming opened fire on the re-
sponsible Japanese authorities. &
Example Set by Seward.
Secretary Of State Seward in an of.
fetal note made the following state
ment, apropos of this incident:
When the injury involves also an
Insult to the flag Of the United States
the demand for satisfaction must be
imperative, and the United States
naval force at Japan may not only be
used to protect the legation and any of
the citizens Of the United States there
resident but the Tycoon is to be in
formed that the United States will
as they shall find occasion, send addi-
tional forces to maintain the forego-
Ing demands"
What President Wilson is doing is
IN line with the recorded presidents.
ne mas demonstrated and satisfaction
mas been refused. He is about to
make naval demonstration. AS JEFF
rerson said, such an act lis considered
an act of war and never failed to pro-
ouce 1t in the case Of nation able to
make war"
