 QUIET, SAYS MAYO
Admiral's Report Allays Fears-COnditiOns Are
 Exaggerated

Washington, July 2.-Uneasiness in of- ficial circles over disturbed conditions In the Tampico and Panuco oil regions, where oil operators have been reticent about paying contributions to the con- stitutionalst cause, was considerably al- layed today by report from Admiral Mayo.
 Secretary Daniels gave out this state- ment based on the report:
 Advice is at hand that Admiral Mayo visited Panuco yesterday. In company with the American consul and had an interview with the military commander and a number of Americans, and had received promises from the military commander for the protection of for eigners. Admiral Mayo feels that his visit has had a good effect and that there will be no cause for complaint. oil com pany officials have been sufficiently re- assured by the representations made to Admiral Mayo to direct the return of their employees to the oil fields. The employees will go back to work today
 Admiral Mayo made no mention of reported order for the surrender by Amer jeans in the Tampico district of all arms and ammunition to the civil authorities. This order was said to have been issued to remind the oil operators that the au- thorities expected contributions to a fund which they claimed would be used to protect the Oil fields.

 Strong forces Of mounted and foot sendarmes have guarded all approaches to the legation since the demonstration Tuesday and when 1t was seen tonight the attack would be renewed 800 re- Inducements were summoned. The crowd hooted and yelled but the police dispersed the students after a struggle.
 The populace displayed great emotion during the passage of the cortege. which except for the military display, was of an extremely simple character. The hearses were plain, square built vehicles, with a lighted lamp on each corner and devoid of ornamentatIon. They were far plainer in appearance than those frequently seen at middle class funerals. The archdukes funeral ranks in court etiquette as third class, first class being reserved exclusively for the Emperor and second class for the Empress.
 At all the stations between Trieste and Vienna silent homage was paid as the funeral train passed.

ROOSEVELT AGAIN
 LAMbASTS TREATY
Says Adoption of Colombian Note Will Mean For
 feiture of Self-Respect

Oyster Bay. N Y, July Eff the Will son administration puts through the treaty with Colombia. providing for the declared, in statement tonight. it will forfeit the right to the respect of the people of the United States.
 Colonel Roosevelts statement was drawn out by that of James T. Dubois
 formerly minister to Colombia. who as-
 sailed the acts of the Roosevelt admin istraton in connection with the Pan anna revolution. The former President barely referred to the Dubois statement,
 however. and plunged into a denunciation
 of the treaty before the Senate. "I have nothing to say about MT. Du- bois," the colonel said He merely was an instrument. MT Wilson is respon- sble for the payment of the blackmail to Colombia. Whether he did it on his own initiative, or at the instgation of MT. Bryan. is wholly unimportant; and it is infinitely less important what par ticular subordinate was chosen to carry through the dscreditable transaction or to apologize for it in the public press. Neither MT. Wilson nor MT Bryan can answer my statement. The payment If ! made, will be naked payment of belated blackmail and the mere proposal to make | it is an outrage on the honor and heavy | blow to the interests of the American | people.
 There is small wonder that many hun dreds of Americans in Mexico have been endeavoring to become British, German or | French subjects to get some protection 1 from some government
 | "An administration that will conclude
 such treaty as this treaty for the pay
 ment of blackmail to Colombia has for
 feited the right to the respect of the people of United States"
 1 Colonel Roosevelt's reference to MT. I Dubois as an instrument related to a | draft of a treaty with Colombia pre-
 pared with MT Dubois, made public re-
 gently with the object of showing that
 the Taft administration was willing to
 express regret to Colombia for the acts
 of the Roosevelt administration. It was
 later, however, stated that this draft
 was never appropriated by the commis- 1 sion.
