Apparently the feeling is general
among all foreigners that the next few

ST. Louis, May 1S.-American inter-
vention is the only solution of the
Mexican trouble according to WAYNE A.
White, grand master Mason OF Mexico.
who arrived here yesterday to attend
a conference of Masonic grand masters.
Many of the Mexicans who are al
lied with Huerta for protection" he
said, ARE praying that the United
States take control of affairs in Mex
leo. so they will be sure of their bust
ness will be safe. The impression that
Americans are towards has become SO
prevalent that MeXicans don't hesitate
openly to insult u citizens. But they
respect the flags of Great Britain and
of Germany. The citizens of those ma.
lions Wore the flag of their country
on their coat lapels during the recent
crisis and We're free to go any place un-
molested.
1T is a wonder that more of us did
not meet with bodily violence. On sew.

the question of shipping arms and am

selves of their first seaport to ship war

paign against Mexico City.
The American government has never
made a clear definition Of Its policy to-
ward shipments of arms into Mexico
from countries other than the United

reaching Huerta through Vera Cruz,
because the customs house there was
seized by the American forces as an act
of reprisal.

arms consigned to the Huerta govern

thelr bands of cuthroat followers also
present problems for serious considera-
ton.
The new forces coming into power
are known to entertain a hostile atti-
tud toward the Catholic church. Just
what the constitutionalists' policies to-
ward the church might be is a matter
or conjecture. Up to the present time
only threats of expulsion have been
heard. The archbishop of Mexico has
already fled to Vera Cruz where he
VIII embark tomorrow for Rome. There
he VIII meet the pope. All the churches
and church property In Mexico ara
owned by the government which grants
the Use of them to the Catholics as q
courtesy. 1t is said the church fears
the rebels may discontinue this
tesy.
Have Shown Good Faith.
On the other hand the constitutional
lists up to the present time have, on the
whole. shown good faith with the
United States and an earnest desire to
restore tranquility and commercial ac-
tivity throughout the republic. The
belief prevails, however, that no matter
what evidences OF good faith Carranza
displays or how strong his representa-
tons to this country may be, there Will
be great hesitancy on the part OF the
Washington government in. granting
him recognition. President Wilson, II
is known. will insist on nothing less
than the establishment OF q stable
constitutional government. 1t will be
up to CarranZa to show that he can de-
liver the goods.

washington, D. c., May 15.-Admiral
Badger reported that the Mexican
federal %gunboats, Zaragosa and Bravo,
and the tug Ta1npico, which left
Tampico yesterday followed by an
American gunboat and two destroyers,
were expected to reach Puerto Mexico
early tomorrow. He reported the gun
boat, Vera Cruz, abandoned in the
Penuco river.
The reported departure OF the federal
eunboats from their anchorage near
the American ships off Tampico is be
leved to be the result of a desire by
the commanders to communicate with
| Mexico City from Puerto Mexico by. the
| only telegraph wire open to them
1t is understood hat two Amhftcan
destroyers are conveying the guHboats
to see that the coastwise lights and
other aides to navigation are not mo-
Tested,
It is believed that the gunboats will
stop at Tuxpan, about 100 miles down
the coast, where they probably will dis
charge the soldiers Of the Tampico
/ garrison taken aboard just before the
town was evacuated. With such IN
munition and supplies as are to be had
at Tuxpan, officials here think the lit
tie vessels may return to the mouth OF
Panuco and attempt to maintain a
blockade to prevent the constitutions
