1T LOOKS MORE WARLIKE

that the entire question of dealing
with the situation at Vera Cruz had
been left in the hands of the war de-
partment. This followed the position
taken by several of the secretaries
during the consideration of the Mexi-
can situation that the United States
was fully within its rights. in any
movement to reinforce the troops now
in Vera Cruz. to any extent deemed
necessary. despite the armistice at
tendent upon the mediation negotia-
tions. 1t was pointed out that the
armistice would not operate against
the concentration of troops in terri
tory already occupied by the United
States.
Secretary Garrison said that the in
formation coming to the war depart
ment from Mexico City was through
refugee sources. and no official or
diplomatic correspondence had been
received bearing out the refugee re-
ports.

as described by refugees and were
merely confirmatory of information
already received.
