A CHANGE since YEAR 1912
AT THAT TIME He WAS IN FAVOR
: OF RELIEVING AMERICAN
SHIPS OF TOLLS /
HE MAKES AN EXPLANATION
ENpEAvoR TO SHOW THAT HIS.
ATTITUDE IN THE MATTER
IS CONSISTENT

Washington, May 5.--With the ok
PLANTATION that the Baltimore platform
merely approved of congressional &C
ton in asserting the right Of the
United States to exempt from tolls
American vessels passing through the
Panama canal, but did not sanction
in any way the granting of subsidies
to American coatswise vessels, Sen
ator Stone of Missouri today told the
senate he would vote for tolls exemp-
tion repeal after voting for the ex-
empetion in 1912.
Challenging arguments in favor OF
exemption, made by Speaker Clark,
without mentioning the latter by
name, however, the senator expressed
astonishment at eminent members
of the house and senate taking the
superficial view of the Baltimore
platforms announcement on tolls.
Senator Stone declared the action
of congress in 1912 in passing the
exemption in the face of a protest
from Great Britain, was Americas an
swer for all the time to its right to-
do as it pleased with the canal.
NO foreign government is now ash
ing US to repeal this law" asserted
Senator Stone, who is chairman of
the foreign relations committee.
Having settled the international
|fletfs In the canal, Senator Stone
said, congress was now proceeding is
deal with the domestic question of
subsidies, that coastwise vessels al
ready enjoyed a monopoly and that
he had heard they were in league with
the transcontinental railroads.
In support of his Interpretation of
the platform, Senator Stone read the
plank against all subsidies and the
plank as approved with. the exemption
|of coastwise vessels. He said that
the platform writers must have had
in mind the subsidy plank when they
wrote this plank, and did not mean to
write a contradictory platform.
Surely nobody will contend the
convention intended to commit the
democratic party to the policy of ship
subsidy and certainly not to make
subsidies fixed and permanent party
policy" said Senator Stone ''If we
cannot now and safely and consistent
ly repeal the aaastwise tolls provision
of the act OF 1912 because of what
happened three years ago or because
of this platform declaration, then we
have tied our hands as with gordian
knot and we will be powerless 10 rid
ourselves of it unless we cleave It
with sword"
He defended the principle favoring
exemption repeal, saying he was not
much disturbed by the lurid flabber-
CAST daily displayed in papers hostile
to. the administration.

aaay !. The aLlss Or d General Fran
cisco Villa to a request from Federal
General Mas n command at Saltillo
that villa join with the federals in
avenging the American occupation Of
Vera Cruz was delivered to the fed
eral messengers today. General Villa
refused absolutely to ally himself or
his men with the federals, and declar-
ed that the Huertistas had provoked
foreign Intervention for their own
ends.
General Mas letter to- villa an
nounced that in addition to occupying
Vera Cruz, the port of Salina Cruz
had been siezed by the United States
forces.
The letters follow ~
ITO General Francisco Villa;
have received instructions to notify
| the revolutionary chiefs that American
intervention in Mexico is an accom-
plished fact. The United States OF
the north have committed grave OF
fense against Mexico by disembarkng
troops in Vera Cruz April 81 and by
taking similar action at Salina rCu2
| two days later. This act alone con
stitutes the initiation of war and this
is the supreme moment to call on the
patriotism of all Mexicans to present
a united front and forget our differ
ences in the intense love of country
of which we are possessed. We car
consider the enemy only as a foreign
er who in the most unjust and ignoblt
manner has stepped upon the holy sol
Iof our fatherland.
1T is well known that the Nortf
Americans, following the hypocritica
and undignified conduct which the!
: have used in all cases of Intervention
! have declared that they will not figh
against the revolutionists but onl.
against the government, but 1t Il
clearly to be seen that this conduct il
for no other purpose than to keep III
J divided and make easier their con

not permit foreign nations to mix Il
our internal affairs.

the defense of the national integrity
You could not more nobly yield you

in which you are kind enough to tell
US that you deem 1t inconvenient fol
the rebel cause to suspend hostiIlities
against General Huerta on the ground
that such suspension would only ac
crue to the benefit of Huerta. and in
which you declare the international
conflict between Mexico and the Uni.
| ted States, for whose solution you ac-
cepted our good offices. is independ-
ent of the internal strife in that coun-
try.
I'VE consider this unexpected state
ment as inconsistent with the idea
which caused us to offer our good Of
fees We think, indeed, that all the
difficulties which have contributed to-
ward the present situation in Mexico
bear eitehr directly or indirectly on
the solution of the pending conflict
between OLD Mexico and the United
States. Consequently we think these
difficulties should be made the sub
jet OF consideration in the negotia-
tions for whose successful completion
we have deemed it Indispensable to
suspend hostilities. Should you not
deem 1t so, we would be compelled
in that case to withdraw as inoppor-
tune our invitation for the appoint.
ment of representative of the rebels
in such negotiations. We beg to as
sure you of our highest considera-
ton"
A second message has been received
by the ,mediators from Carranza, in
which he specifically asks them to
make definite the terms ami scope of
the negotiations before he proceeded
to appoint representatives. No reply
was sent to this telegram, as the at
titude Of the mediators was embodied
in the former notes. The appoint
ment of United States representa-
tive, as requested by the mediators,
was the next step, and it was thought
this would be settled as a result of
the regular cabinet meeting today.
