secrecy regarding Mexico was lifted in
the Senate Of the United States to-day
by Senator Fan, republican, of New
Mexico, who urged armed intervention
for the protection Of Americans and
other foreigners IN the stricken republic.
The galleries were crowded to overflow
iug and remained SO for hours, until
Senator Shivcly of Indiana had spoken
that the subject had been discussed in
open session ana aVerrin9 that no
adequate suggestion had beer offered to
compose the difficulty.
Senator FAN, in lengthy narration of
incidents of outrages to Americans in
Mexico, held the interest of the Senate
and galleries for more than three hours.
Assailing the policy of the admnistra-
ton as inadequate in the situation, and
declaring that President Wilson knew
nothing about real conditions and had
been mistaken in every act of his ad-
ministration toward Mexico, the New
Mexico senator pleaded for Intervention
for protection, in order to avoid newt
able war.
Emphasizing the danger of war with
a great foreign power, unless some
thing should speedily be done, Senator
Fan referred to comments in the Ger
man press over the killing of the
British subject Benton, by order OF
