WILL STAY EVEN
IF WAR COMES
Secretary Bryan Has No Idea
of Resigning.
MATTERS FREELYDIsCUssED
Bryan Declares That Under No Cir.
cumstances Would He Quit
His Post During Pres
ent Trouble.

Washington, D. C.-Secretary OF
State Bryan emphatically denied wide
spread and persistent reports that he
would resign from the Cabinet When
informed Of published reports that he
would relinquish his post should war
be declared against Mexico. Mr.. Bryan
said: "The subject of my resignation
has never been discussed with anybody
nor thought of by me"
White House officials pointed to the
general denial issued few days ago
Of the story that Secretary Bryan
would resign, saying that statement
was sufficient to cover all rumors OF
Cabinet dissension. They said they
did not regard it as necessary to re-
peat the denial with each published
report.
1t is stated on authority that in no
case has Secretary Bryan declared that
he would resign his Office in case it
became necessary for the United
States to engage in war, and he has
let it be known to his personal friends
that he could be relied upon to do his
full duty to the administration and to
remain at his post under present con-
ditions, and any others that he thought
could possibly arise.
The rumors of Mr.. Bryan's intention
to retire from the Cabinet in various
contingencies are ascribed by his
friends to sentiments uttered by the
Secretary in the early days of his in
cumbency. He has spoken often of
the subject of universal peace, and has
expressed the altruistic sentiments,
and, among other things, has declared
in a speech delivered in the West that
there would be no war while he was
Secretary of State. The Secretary s
purpose, it is explained, was to en-
phasize his general conviction that the
growing feeling of disapproval of war
fare could be relied upon to prevent
the country from drifting into war
under any set of conditions that could
be conceived of by those to whom he
addressed himself
Outside of the White House, there
has been considerable discussion of
the individual views known to be held
by members of the Cabinet on the
present situation. None of these is
said to be serious or approaching any
breach in the Presidents official fam
lily, but there have been natural diff
.ferences of opinion as to what ag-
gressive measures should be pursued.
The President himself, it is said, has
invited the widest range Of sugges-
tions from his advisers and has steered
a middle course between those who
favor quickly aggressive policy and
those who believe war can be best
averted by patient observation and
carefully deliberated action.
Persons close to the administration
council described the divergence Of
views as the product Of natural diff
ferences among those charged with re-
sponsibility for executive action. Off
cials point out, for instance, that the
War Department is naturally anxious
to take every reasonable precaution
with its military forces, and the Navy
is bending its energies likewise to
perfecting its preparations for actual
warfare

FLETCHER HOSTS FLAG.
Formal Occupation OF Vera Cruz 3,
American Forces Is sienaIIzed.

Vera Cruz.-With all ceremony, the
firing Of salute and dress parade, the
American flag was raised Monday over
the division headquarters of Rear-Ad-
miral Frank F. Fletcher.
Over the custom house the flag has
been flying since the landing of the
American forces, but until now there
has been no ceremony indicating the
formal occupation of Vera Cruz.
Capt. Harry Mel P. Huse, Rear-Ad-
miral Fletcher's chief of staff, who
gave the command to raise the flag,
is the officer who raised the Stars and
Stripes over Porto Rico.
With the lowering of the flag on the
Fortress of San Juan de Ulloa in the
afternoon the last Mexican flag disap-
peared from Vera Cruz, almost CO.
incidentally with the raising Of the
American colors.
With the arrival of General Freder-
ick Funston's brigade, the Navy is
ready to surrender its control over
that port to the Army.
Vera Cruz is the advance base of
suen operations as may be undertaken
against the City of Mexico in the event
Of the collapse Of mediation. AS is
usual after the seizure of an advance
base, the Navy viii step out as soon
after the Army steps in as can be con-
veniently arranged.
Brigadier-General Funston's COM
mand is made up of the Fourth, Sew
enth, Nineteenth and Twenty-eighth
infantry regiments. These regiments
are commanded respectively by Coils.
Robert C. Van Vliet, Daniel Cornman,
Millard F. Waltz and Edward H. Plum
mer.
The next army troops to reach Vera
Cruz will be the first battalion of the
Fourth Field Artillery. The Fourth is
commanded by Col. Lucien G. Barry,
and in the First battalion, commanded
by Major George LeR. Irwin, are Bat
teries A, B and G.

FEW BELIEVE MEDIATION WILL
BE SUCCESSFUL.


washington, D. c. European
diplomats in Washington are pessi-
mistic over the successful outcome
of mediation proposals by South
American Governments to prevent
war with Mexico.
While the actions of Great
Britain, Germany and France in
urging Huerta to accept the good
offices proffered by Brazil, Chile
and. Argentina has had an encourag-
ing effect upon officials here, there
are few who believe that success
can eventuate from the undertake
ing.
Diplomatic experts not directly
concerned in the negotiations were
also far from sharing optimism
manifested by some State Depart
ment officials in the issue of the
tender of good Offices.
The utmost good will toward the
mediation plan was displayed.
1t has, in fact, been tangibly
manifested by the representations
undertaken by the representatives
of three great European powers to
Huerta to induce him to accept the
tender of good Offices.
1t was quite generally felt, how
ever, that too wide a gulf lay be-
tween the standpoint of the United
States and that of General Huerta
to be bridged over by the Pan
American mediation.
1t is, said one of these diplomats,
as if Huerta sis to be invited to
step out and commit political sui
cide-and to expect him to accept
the invitation"

lows:
"The other day we went ashore, ten
of us and the paymaster, to get sup
plies, and we got too far down the
river on the firing line. AS soon as
we hit the beach the federal army cap
tured us, and we were flying the
American flag, too. They held us
prisoners about Is hours. Our captain
then came over and got us. They
took the American flag off our boat
and threw it overheard. They thought
the paymaster was a relative of ex-
President Madero.
"The admiral certainly did rave. He
sent word to the Mexicans to offer an
apology and fire a salute of q guns to
the American flag or he would blow
the city of Tampico up. Two Mexican
officers came aboard and apologized,
but they would not fire the salute. The
admiral told them to fire it within "a
hours, but nothing stirring. He gave
them 24-hour extension. Word was
sent here from Washington that, if
we didn't receive word from Washing
ton by P. M. last night, we were to
take the city.
1--WE never got word until Tuesday
afternoon. We were all ready for
action. We had 1000 sailors ready to
land from the ships"
