STATEMENT FROM PRESIDENT

' Following is the official statement Is
sued as representing the views Of
president Wilson and the administra-
Ition on Mexico:
I'm discussions in official circles in
Washington of the present Mexican
situation the following points have
been very much dwelt upon:
ut 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
tco 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 it's 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
mail, 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
ishment was inflicted upon the officer
who arrested him, but 1t was signifi-
cant that an orderly from the feet Of
the United States was picked out
from the many persons constantly GO
ing shore on various errands, from
the various ships in the harbor, rep
resenting several nations.
offcIaI 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
Eco City, until It should have been
sent to the censor and his permission
received to deliver 1t. and gave the
dispatch into the hands OF the charge
d'affaires 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.

Cured In any case where representa-
tives of other governments we're 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

The president, feels that he has am

ures he has adopted.
President Mckinley went 80 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 johann
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, 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
ship 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

Officials of the United States De-

parts of the nation and upon arriv-
al at destination. only 327 eggs, or
three and one-half per cent of the
total were bi oxen. Ten dozen eggs

He WAS 4 SICK MOTHER

Pat has been seized with violent
pains and was hurriedly sent to the
hospital. There he was informed
that he had appendicitis and shat
an operation was necessary, as his
appendix must be removed.
Pat had not the least idea of what
an appendix was and SO asked the
doctor who laughingly informed
him that he would leave the ap-
pendix in the window and he could
take a look as soon as he was able.
In a few days Pats curiosity got
the better of him and he raised up
in bed to take a look at his ap-
pendix. To his amazement q mon
key was sitting on the window sill,
and when he saw Pat he began to
make faces and chatter at a great
rate.
The astonished Irishman gave the
monkey a long hard look and then

boy, don't do that! Can't you see
