of war with Mexico
He expressed the hope that the
Mexican situation would be settled
without actual war being declared
by this country. He declared that
in the Philippines this country found
it necessary to garrison more than
19S army posts and declared that
similar conditions would be found
in Mexico.
The former President had no fear
of the outcome, but said the United
States would have to spend several
years in Mexico before withdrawing
the troops. Mr.. Taft made no crit
icism of the manner in which the
present Administration is handling
the Mexican situation. but he ex-
pressed the belief that the United
States is undertaking difficult

Residents of the Mexican
Capital
IGNORANT OF many EVENTS
Transpiring In Their Country
Because of the Strict
Censorship.
CORRESPONDENTS WARNED

Mexico City. April 25.-(Via Ha-
vapa April22,. 1.-THE following dis
patch was sent by mail to Havana
i'm order to avoid the censorship es-
tablished by General Huerta, which
is more strict than at any time here
tofOre:
Every telegraph wire out of Mex
leo City-commercial, railroad or
cable-is now watched over by a
censor, chosen from among the most
reliable and intelligent men In the
government telegraph service. These
censors frankly inform would-be
senders of dispatches that it is not
a question of the veracity OF mes
sages, nor whether they disclose
military movements, but is merely a
question of suppressing all news not
favorable to the government.
Code messages are absolutely
prohibited, with the exception only
of bank kilograms.
THE bankers of Mexico Succeed
ed in having the embargo on these
messages raised. but only after they
had proved that the detention of the
dispatches would seriously embar-
rass the financial department of the
government.
Newspaper correspondents We're
given to. understand that If they
We're detected in using subterfuge
to evade the censorship they would
find themselves in jail.

was acting as the messenger of the
United States Government to Pro-
visional President Huerta in the en-
deavOr to avert war between the two
countries. more than 80 per cert. of
the Mexican residents i'm the Federal
capital went about their affairs i'm
total ignorance of the crisis.
General Huerta and his official
family cleverly concealed, even from
their intimate friends, all knowl-
edge OF strained relations between
Mexico and the United States.
"The general public was even
more in the dark. since the newspa-
pers published columns of glowing
accounts of victories by the Federal
armies in the north.
Reports of Federal successes
said to have occurred at places far
beyond the limits of the telegraph
lines We're printed broadcast. One
dispatch announced with great dis
play that General villa had been
captured.
"The railroads ceased some time
ago carrying freight to the north, as
the limited supply of fuel oil on
hand made 1t necessary to conserve
II for the movement of military
trains.
Considerable apprehension has
been aroused in the capital by the
movements of Emiliano Zapata, the
rebel leader in the South, who after
gaining undisputed possession OF the
State of Guerrero, with the excep-
ton of the port of Acapulco. has
shown indications of moving north
