Final Break Came

Here is the formal statement given
|oJ. by the Secretary OF State re-
|v'ew!ng the final negotiations with
y lerta preceding the breaking off
10 relations by Charge o'Shaugh-
b ssy:
\ little after II o'clock last night
q brief dispatch came from Charge
{ Shaughnessy. at Mexico City, say
T. that the Presidents demand of

~ried by him to General Huerta.
7 = foreign minister asked O'Shaugh-
] ssy whether. in case General

] 'tocol would be signed providing
I a return of the salute. The fol-
] - ng dispatch was sent to Charge
{ Shaughnessy. in substance:
The President is out of the city.
Impossible to reach him before

I m of the salute. The United States
America can be relied upon, &C
riding to International custom and
~pIrtesy, to do its duty. The sign
Of the protocol would be objec-
nable, in addition to other rea-
ms. because of the fact that il
J ght be construed as recognition Of
Huerta government, whereas the
-esident has no intention of recog-
ling that government

While some Of the best warships of
the navy are steaming to Tampico and
the eastern coast of Mexico. and the
eyes Of the country are IN them, the
army. or that part of 1t near the Mexi-
can border. is ready for action.
The army has had so many false
alarms about marching into Mexico
that 1t refuses TO get unduly excited
any more over rumors of war. Moth
ing less than orders to cross the line
will stir it up. The officers OF the gen.
eral staff and the War College, for that
reason, have refused to become per-
turbed over the mobilization Of the neet
They have been expecting the Huerta
government to back down and the war
clouds to dissipate.
Nevertheless, the army has made all
its preparations. 1t has had an eye
open to developments in Mexico for
MANY months. Ever since the orcer
was given by President Taft for mobil-
ixatton on the Mexican border the army
has been looking for orders to go into
Mexico at any minute. Its attitude has
been that Of preparedness for instant
action.
10000 Men Already In Field.
If war comes tomorrow, about 49,
900 men now on the border or close

active service. According to army Of
ficers, they could move on few hours
notice. Many of them are actually
on patrol duty and in active service
now. In fact, the whole force stretched
out along the border may be regarded
as in active service, so that it could
take the field without the slightest fuss
or formality.
The plans for invasion Of Mexico long
have been worked out IN the minutest
detail The general staff knows more
about Mexico than the Mexicans.

campaign will be enormous, and unless

cording to War Department experts.
Whether he will do SO or not is con-
jectural, but 1t is as plain as day
that if this country really intervenes
in Mexico there will be strong senu
ment for the annextion of a part OF
Mexico before the difficulty is over.
Few civilians have the slightest con-
ception what the ,>ticers of the general
staff have done in the way of figuring
out the things to be done in case of
campaigning in Mexico. But some ad-
ditional details as to how fas the gen
eral staff has gone got out today.
The army operations in case of armed
intervention, will consist Of two almost
distinct parts. These will be first, the
actual campaigning. involving the cap
ture of Mexico City and taking pos
session OF the country. and. second. the
garrisoning of the country and the res
toration of order to the end that the
Mexican people may be enabled to es-
tabIish a stable government. Unless
this country should decide to annex
Mexico, or part Of 1t. it will be some
think like the process In Cuba, though
on a larger scale.
Big Garrisons Needed.
Army officers say garrisons OF consid-
cradle size will have to be established
in every city of importance. The forces
in each center will have to be big
enough to overawe either bandits or
disaffected parts OF the population in
their vicinity. This will require many
men.
The big feature OF the campaign at
the outset, unless there is simply a
blockade or a seizure of ports temper
ariIy, will be the movement on Mexico
City. 1t is calculated there will be
some stiff fighting on this expedition
Not less than 1000 10 25ooo men will be
required to carry on the operation OF
seizing Vera Cruz. holding it. moving
into Mexico City and holding it. II is
conceivable that double the number
mentioned may be required. The CAM

4 Cracksmen After
$4,000 Diamonds

NEW YORK, March 4.-Battling des-
perately with revolvers, then with clubs
and fists, detectives early to-day cap
tured four men as they were robbing a
safe in the iewelry store at No. S46
Bowery, which contained $4,000 in dia-
monds. The police say that the quar-
tette are notorious safeblowers and are
known from coast TO coast. The Of
fcers had received a tip from a woman
that the jewelry store was to be robbed
and trailed the men to the scane of the
attempted robbery
Those arrested were Charles Jordan,

liam Smith, alias English Smithy;
George Jardanage, alias the Polack, and

No Real Mysteries.
ITO get back to the question OF
mysteries, the finding of writer's of
anonymous letters Illustrates only a
little Of what ! mean when ! say
there are no mysteries.
After you get him, the criminal
understands that he has left a track,
though he laid his plans ever so care
fully. 1t all seems so simple-after-
ward. 1t always seems that the par
tcular track left might have been
avoided.
For example, United States Sena-
tor Mitchell, of oregon, was convicted
of participation in the land frauds.
Senator Mitchelrs law partner, Judge
Tanner, while being interrogated by
Mr. Heney, stated that there was a
partnership agreement, drawn up at
the time of the formation of the part
nersAip between Senator Mitchell and
himself, which contained stipulation
whereby all moneys received by the
firm for practicing before the depart
menrs at Washington were to go to
Judge Tanner-it being, Of course, a
violation Of the Federal statutes for
Senator Mitchell to accept money
earned in this way.

The reply came with the correct an
swer My theory had worked. The
anonymous letter writer proved to be
Hyde's former attorney, who proved
to be trying in this way to collect
$4,000 from Hyde, which he claimed
vas due him.
He was a most surprised gentle
man when he was later called to the
stand at the preliminary hearing OF
HYDE and Benson and confronted

ITO one who is accustomed to trac-
