MANN CRITICIZES IN CRISIS.
When Republican Leader Mann
heard about Huerta's refusal he
said: There is no occasion for war
at this time, and l do not think there
is any occasion for war, or anything
like war for an imagined slight. 1
think the course of the administration
has been Il very laundering one. We
!, have not been informed as to what
the facts have been i'm this matter.
1t would be d~isgraceful to bring bOu
war without making any effort to pre-
vent war. h administration seems
I to want to go to war over what il
! calls Il punctiliO.'

sentative Cooper, of Wisconsin, rank
