PRESIDENT WILSON TALKS
 TO CORRESPONDENT
Impresses Upon Them That There Will Be No War Between United States and Mexico.

Washington, April 20. President Wilson, in a talk to the Washington correspondents on the Mexican situa- tion today at the White House, said:
 T want to say to you gentlemen, do not get the impression that there is about to be war between the United States and Mexico.
 That is not the outlook at present, at all.
 Tn the first place. in no conceivable circumstances will We fight the people of Mexico.
 'fWe are their friends, and want to help them in every way that We can to recover their rights and their govern ment and their laws. and for the pres ent l am going to congress to present a special situation and seek their ap- proval to meet that special situation.
 Tt is only an issue between this government and person calling him. self the provisional president of Mex ico, whose right to call himself such we have never recognized in any way.
 "So that I had a feeling of uneasi- ness as I read the papers, this morn ing as if the country were getting on fire with war enthusiasm.
 T have no enthusiasm for war; have an enthusiasm for justice and for the dignity of the United States, but not for war.
 And this need not eventuate into a war if we handle it with drmness and promptneSs.

No War Scare
 in Wall Street
BUT MEXICAN CRISIS CAUSED
 SLUMP IN MARKET,
LITTLE ELSE TALKED OF
Government Bonds Declined Because of Possibility of New Issue to Meet Expense of the Campaign.

New York, April 20.-The Mexican crisis caused @ slump on the stock ex- change today, There was no semblanee of war scare in Wall street, and the market betrayed no nervousness. The acute stage reached in the country's s relations with Mexico nevertheless registered it's effect on prices of stocks. It provided an opportunity for heavy speculative selling, and there was also a considerable volume of liquidation on the part of holders of stocks who preferred to retiTe from the market on account of the disturbed outlook. The days decline came after a week of steadily falling prices which have been influenced by the evidence thas @ crisis was approaching.
 At the opening of the exchange quotations were forced down rapidly. President Wilson's expression of hope that conflict might be avoided caused rally before noon, but later the de- clire was resumed with greater se- ve-lty, and at the end of the day lead ing stocks were one to three points lower. Many of them reached the lowest prices of the year.
 Government bonds declined on the Mexican news. One reason ascrihed for their heaFiness was the possibility that, in case of war, the government might put forth a large new issue to meet the expenses of the campaign.
 Wall street talked of little else than MeXlCO. The news tlckerS, which or dlnartly are devoted to routine matters of finance, were given over largely to the transmission of Washington des. patches detailing the latest deN elop- mentS in the Mexican situation No
 other news received attenti )n, but the
 possibility of a war with Mexico had 1 been discussed so long in Wall street | and has figured so long as an influence in depressing stocks tha+ the days
 developments did not greatly change the situation. The decline today was
 hardly greater than on one or two days of last week. Stocks of corporations
 which have large sums of money in-
 vested in Mexico, such as the Southern Pacific railroad and the Mexican Pe- troleum company, were no weaker tha, others.
 Brokers whose memory of Wal street affairs extends back 10 1SaS
 said that for some time preceding rilS | declaration of war with Spain tae mar- ket was weak. When war isTa:iy came
 prices advanced. It has .bee,, fa- vorite contenuon of bu:lish speculators | for several months that the market would rise if war with Mexico should come

ABOUT 200 AMERICANS
 :, NOW IN VERA CRUZ.
Many Women Take Up Quarters or
 Steamers Mexico and Esperanza.

Vera Cruz. April 20.-In compliance with Consul Canada's suggestion, made on instructions from Washington, many women took up their quarters this afternoon on the steamers Mexico and Esperanza- The Americans resi- dent here number not more than thirty or forty but this morning there were about two hundred Americans i'll Vera Cruz. The largest foreign colony is Spanish.
 The consuls have all been notified by MT. Canada that he has been instruct ed to care for all nationalities as far as possible and during the day the consular representative of the other powers called upon him to obtain di- rectionS for transmission to their na- tionals.
 Reports reaching here from the cap ital are meagre, but it is expected that many foreigners, particularly Ameri- cans, will arrive in Vera Cruz tomor- row. Many are inclined to believe, however, that in spite of official sug- gestion a considerable part of the American colony at Mexico City will await more definite information as to the exact character of the action to be taken by the United States.
 There is a surprising lack of un- easiness generally. Mexicans here, while uncommunicative, appear to be little perturbed at the developments, and there have been no acts of violence towards Americans nor ever discour- teotis remarks or acts.

FOR ORGANIZATION
 OF VOLUNTEER ARMY.
Bill Gives Authority to President of
 Appointment ef Officers.

Washington, April 20-Prompt or ganization of a volunteer army for service in Mexico or in any other crisis would be provided for in a house bill passed today by the senate with amendments. Sending of the measure to the conference was delayed by a motion by Senator Reed to recon slider the vote, but senators said the motion probably would be disposed of tomorrow.
 The bill would revise the law under which volunteer force was organ ized for the Spanish-American was in 1898. Its author claims that a vol unteer force could be raised more quackiy than under the existing law; !; that it would prevent the payment of bounties, would do away with a short term of enlistment by making the term of volunteers the same as that in the regular army; would procure the necessary number of men at the be- ginning of the war for a long period, thus making drafting unnecessary and would decrease the pension list after the war.
 Unlike the present law, the bill would provide for the recruiting of all organizers of land forces. This would include training service to whcih duty partially disabled officers would be assigned when superseded by able bodied men at the front.
 
 would give the president instead of the governors of the states the au- thority to appoint all officers for the volunteer forces. requiring him to give preference in their selection to those who have had military train ing and instruction in the regular army, national guard, volunteer forces of military schools.
 Instead of the volunteer forces waiting to be called into service un- til all the organized militia of all arms has been called, it would permit the organiza ton of volunteers of a particular arm as soon as the mili- tia of that particular arm had been put into service. Another provision is that the number and grade of of ficers should be the same in the vol unteer forces as in the regular army
 The present strength of the organiz- ed militia. including both officers and men, is approximately 120,o00 accord ing to the latest returns from adju- tant generals of the different states tc the war department

 Mir. Lawier's Title.

Hartford. Conn, April 2s-Mayor Joseph R. Lawler was elected mayor of Hartford again tonight and he was again sworn into office. Proceedings were taken b ythe common council in what was said to be an attempt to clear MT. Lawler's title for the mayor alty.
 The resignation of Mayor Louis R. Cheney was received but was not &C., cepted. It was explained that the resignation was received as a dis clainler of any right to the title or office.
 Under section 47 of the city charter anr Section 9 of the city ordinances. the council has right to fill any va cancy that may exist in the city gov ernment. Republicans pointed out that no vacancy existed, inasmuch as the council had not accepted Mir. Cheney's resignation.
 Immediately after MT. Lawler was declared elected, City Clerk Smith ad- ministered the oath of office. The ac- tion of the council has caused much speculation among the republicans. One well known lawyer said the coun- Gil had technically accepted the res- ignation of Mayor Cheney by infer ence."
