POWERS ARE TO
REMAIN NEUTRAL
Will Give United States Free
Hand in Mexico In
tervention.

The European powers do not con-
template taking any action to inter-
fere with the United States decision
regarding Mexico. Correspondents
asked the foreign office of the va
rious nations yesterday for state
ments on the matter. The view gen
orally expressed was that the powers
! VIII allow this country to have free
hand In dealing with Mexico.
MADRID, April 22.-The govern
ment's interest in the Mexican stu
alton Is naturally predominantly con-
| cerned with the fate of Spaniards in
| that country. Premier Dato received
the correspondent cordially yester-
day and expressed his qualification
at the willingness of the United
States to protect the subjects of
Spain. More than 800 Spaniards have
been repatriated on the initiative of
Spain, but the safety of many of
them depends upon Generals Car
rama and Villa, and for this reason
the interventioneo the United States
is of paramount Importance.
Senior Dato said the prospect of
armed action by the United States
and Mexico causes the greatest con-
Germ here, as the consequences are
iIIcalculable. The government, he
said, earnestly desires a peaceful So
luton of the trouble.
PARIS, April 22.-The French for
eign office refuses TO make any Off
cial statement in reference to the
American Intervention in Mexico. Per-
sons of authority in government cir
cles expressed the view that France

ton of the United States, as it Is felt
that such action is certainly based on
the highest considerations of what is
best
The Mexican legation issued a state
ment today, which read:
Although Minister de la Barra Is
without special instructions, he pre-
serves the firm hope that the present
difficulties will be solved in conform
ity with justice and in accordance
with the true interests of both coun-
tries.
"At all events, the minister Is con-
WINGED that the present events will
show how strong the patriotic feeling
is among his compatriots. Love of
country will make all discords among
Mexicans disappear"
Senior de la Barra was to have at
tended the reception of the foreign
diplomats by King George at the Quail
d Orsay last night, but owing to the
grave events of the past two days
the minister and the members of the
Mexican legation asked to be excused
from attending the fetes In honor of
the British royal visitors.
ROME, April 22.-The foreign office
never authorizes any statements on
international questions, but the fol-
lowing may be taken as Italy's attf-
tude in the dispute between the
United States and Mexico:
Italy Is only indirectly interested,
as she has no commercial interests in
Mexico and the Italians there are not
numerous. Those who are there VIII
be sufficiently protected by the United
States Italy does not expect that
the conflict will lead to international
complications and will not adopt any
isolated policy. She has exchanged
views with her allies, Austria and
Germany, and with England, and VIII
merely watch developments.
The correspondent understands that
the Italian minister to Mexico mas

yising President Huerta to yield TO
the American demands.ios

office steadily adheres to the attitude
in regard to Mexico which was adopt
ed at the outset of the trouble be-
tween that country and the United
States. Additional proof that no
change In this attitude Is contem-
plated is furnished by the fact that
Sir William Tyrrell, senior clerk IN
the foreign office and private secre-
ra (xraW- the for
eign secretary, accompanied King
George and Queen Mary and the for
eign minister to Paris yesterday. Sir
William would not have left London
if any action was contemplated ny
Great Britain.
The foreign office does not expect
that there will be an anti-foreign out
break in Mexico and Is doing nothing
In expectation of such contingency.
1t knows nothing of the reported IN
tention of Sir Lionel Garden, the
British minister to Mexico, TO au-
wise President Huerta to yield to the
demands of the United States and
has given no specific directions to
the minister in regard to this matter.
He will follow his general instruc-
tions. which are based on the gov
ernment's known attitude.
BERLIN, April 22.-The German peo-
ple and the newspapers are taking
deep interest in the Mexican situa-
ton. The papers display prominent
ly the latest news, but are reserved
in their comments.
The officials of the Foreign Office
decline to make any statement as to
how Germany views the latest action
of the United States. but a high
official made the following state
| ment to the correspondent yesterday:
I'm the conflict between the United
States and Mexico the attitude of

neutrality. Germany takes the
