&OrG Troops To Go To MGxCO--.Sk New Transports
Chartered By The Government For The Purpose OF
Moving Soldiers In The Event OF An Emergency
Arrival Of German Vessel With Munitions For
HueFta Causes A Stir

Washington, May 9.--Developments
indicate that the United States is
rapidly losing hope Of any settlement
OF the Mexican situation through me
'diation. Upon receipt Of warning
Sfrom President Huerta that he might
feel obliged to withdraw from the me-
diation proceedings the war depart
,ment began to push arrangements COR
che movement OF more troops to Vera
'Cruz at a moments notice. Six new
transports were chartered for the
purpose Of moving two more brigades
emergency. This was announced by
Secretary of War Garrison.
The receipt OF Huerta's warning
note and reports OF the probable
downfall OF his government are the
chief factors that have spurred the
United States to renewed warlike
preparations. Huerta contends that
the United States has violated the ar
xaistice by its action at Vera Cruz.
Puerto Mexico. on the isthmus Of Te-
buantepec, with heavy cargoes OF
arms and ammunition consigned to
Nherta, according TO a dispatch from
Admiral Badger
The navy department is unable TO
say how far these vessels we're from
the Mexican port, but the department
has heard that the Kronprinzessin
sCeceiie already has arrived al Puerto
Mexico Apparently the only way in
which the United States can prevent
these large consignments of artillery
sguns and ammunition from falling
sinto the hands OF Huerta will be
through sei2lng them after they are
landed or through the good offices of
-the German government Ways and
smeans of dealing with this situation
we're considered by United States of.
hciAis, but no plan or action was an
'nounced. The United States inds its
hands almost completely tied in the
matter of seiging the custom house
'>at Puerto Mexico as they did in Vera
Cruz
Such action on the part Of the
sUDited States. in view of the media
1ion proceedings, would be seized
apVn by Huerta as the basis for a
charge of bad faith on the part of this
government. Furthermore, the seiz-
ure OF Puerto Mexico would amount

I'd States already has announced that
sta policy toward Mexico contemplat-
ed only the seizure OF Vera Cruz az

Ito the flag at Tampico
There is reason to believe. how
over, that some OF the warships un-
der Admiral Badger at Vera Cruz
have received orders to proceed TO
Puerto Mexico II only for the purpose
OF obtaining at first hand what the
situation is there.

Sentiment Against The DRY
Resolution
VIII Be Brought Up For Vote
at This Session
EvASIVE POLICY ABANDONED

Democratic Leaders in the House
Would Dispose Of the Prohibition
Amendment Submitted by the Judi.
ciary Committee--Dry Question To
BE Made an Issue In Coming Con.
gressonaI Campaign.
Washington, May "a vote in the
house at this session on the proposed
amendment paving the way for ma
tional prohibition OF the liquor traffic
is assured. The old policy Of evasion
of this issue in congress has been
abandoned on the advice of Repre-
sentative Underwood, the Democratic
leader. 1t has been agreed by the
house leaders that the proposed
amendment reported by the judiciary
committee shall be brought up for a
vote in the near future.
1t will be decided within day or
so whether the prohibition amend
ment will be considered as part OF
the legislative program that is to be
framed at the Democratic caucus to
be held on Tuesday. A resolution will
be offered at the caucus for vote on
the prohibition amendment. This
resolution will not be opposed by the
leaders. They have counted noses
and are convinced that, whatever the
action of the caucus, the prohibition
amendment is doomed.
Formerly the advocates of prohibi.
ton decided that they would tolerate
no further delay in a vote on this
question. Now they are asking that
action be deferred until December.
The opponents of the amendment
throughout the country have been
busy this week. They are lombard
ing members with kilograms of pro
test, and IL already is apparent that
whatever is the decision of the eau
Gus, prohibition will be made an issue
in the coming congressional cam
paign.
The house caucus Tuesday will
consider a resolution announcing it
to be the sense of the party that the
antitrust, interstate trade commission
and railway capitalization bills, the
rural credits measures and the appro-
priation bills, should be passed and
house then adjourn. 1t is not expect
ed that there will be any opposition
to its adoption.
