Hopes War Is Not the Question.

But I earnestly hope that war is not now in question. I believe that I speak for the American people when I say that we do not desire to con trol in any degree the affairs of our sister republic. Our feeling for the people of Mexico is one of deep and genuine friendship, and everything that we have so far done or refrained from doing has proceeded from our desire to help them, not to hinder or embarrass them.
 we would not wish to exercise the welcome and consent. The people of Mexico are entitled to settle their own domestic affairs in their own way, and we sincerely desire to respect their right. The present situation need have none of the grave implica- tions of interference if we deal with it promptly, firmly and wisely.
 "No doubt could do what is neces- sary in the circumstances to enforce respect for our Government without recourse to the Congress and yet not exceed my Constitutional powers as President, but I do not wish to act in a matter possible of so grave conse- auence except in close conference and GOOD eration with both the Senate and House.
 q. therefore, come to ask your ap- proval that l should use the armed forces of the United States in such ways and to such an extent as may be necessary to obtain from Gen. Huerta and his adherents the fullest recognition of the rights and dignity of the United States, even amidst the distressing conditions now unhappily obtaining in Mexico.
 There can in what we do be no thought of aggression or of selfish ag- grandizement. We seek to maintain the dignity and authority of the Unit ed States only because we wish al ways to keep our great influence un- impaired for the uses of liberty both in the United States and wherever else it may be employed for the bene- fit of mankind"

WILSON'S MESSAGE ON MEXICO.
Resolution Justfyng Executive to Use Army and Navy
 in His Discretion for Country

Mexico City was withheld by the au- thorities of the telegraphic service mn til peremptorily demanded by our Charge d'Affaires in person, So far as l can learn, such wrongs and an- noyances have been suffered to occur only against representative of the United States.
 T have heard of no complaints from other Governments of similar treat. ment. Subsequent explanations and formal apologies did not and could not alter the popular impression, which 1t is possible it had been the subject of the Huertista authorities to create, that the Government of the United States was being singled out, and might be singled out with impunity. for sights and affronts in retaliation Tor its refusal to recognize the pre- tentions of Gen. Huerta to be regard ed as the Constitutional provisional President of the Republic of Mexico.
 Offences Might Become Worse.
 The manifest danger of such situation was that such offences might grow from bad to worse until some thing happened of so gross and intol- erable sort as to lead directly and inevitably to armed conflict. It was necessary that the apologies of Gen. Huerta and his representatives should go much further; that they should be such as to attract the attention of the whole population to their signifi- canoe and such as to impress upon Gen. Huerta himself the necessity Of seeing to 1t that no further occa- sion for explanations and professed regret should arise. I, therefore, felt 1t my duty to sustain Admiral Mayo in the whole of his demand and to in- sist that the flag of the United States should be saluted in such a way as to indicate new spirit and attitude on the part of the Huertistas.
 Such salute Gen. Huerta has re- fused, and I have come to ask your approval and support in the course I now purpose to pursue.
 iuio pOSCi uHicllt CdH, l SdTn6Sliy hope, in no circumstances be forced into war with the people of Mexico Mexico is torn by civil strife If we are te accept the tests of it's own con- stitution it has no government Gen. Huerta has set his power up in the City of Mexico, such as it is. without right and by methods for which there can be no justification.
 "Only part of the country is under his control. If armed conflict should unhappily come as a result of his atti- tude of personal resentment towards this Government, we should be fight ing only Gen. Huerta and those who adhere to him and give him their sup port, and our object would be only to restore to the people of the dis tracted republic the opportunity to set up again their own laws and their own government.
