Fifth BRIGADE MAY Land
TO RELIEVE Marines
BY BERNARD RUCKER.

United Press STAFF Correspondent.
VERA CRUZ. Mex, April 2S.--When
the transports bearing General Fred
Funston's Fifth brigade entered the
Inner harbor here early today thous-
ands Of Mexicans and Americans
crowding the docks witnessed one OF
the most remarkable demonstrations
of the lighting forces of the United
States in history.
AS the transports steamed in
among the battleships. an aeroplane
ascending from the varship Missis-
fippi circled over the harbor, uniting
the fighting forces of the land, water
and air in Uncle Sans service. The
crews of the fleet cheered Funston's
men heartily as the transports slow
~ advanced. and the troops in heavy
marching order and ready 70 land at

lutte.
a refugee train carrying 300 MeXi-
cans left here early today and II was
expected that another train with
Americans from Mexico City would be
met at Teieria There the passen-
gers will be exchanged and the train
CARRYING out the Mexicans will bring
the Americans to Vera Cruz. The city
was quiet today and In proclamation
commencing the Mexicans for the ac-

WATCHFUb Waiting
SUITS CEN. Wilson
Veteran Would Eventually
Have U. S. Flag Float
Over Northern Mexico
SUGGESTS PURCHASE
OR PROTECTORATE

In one of the most illuminating
speeches on the subject ever deliver
ed in Wilmington, General James II.
Wilson, U. S. A. retired spoke on
Mexico, before the Mems Club Of
Hanover Presbyterian Church last
night. General Wilson expressed his
approval of President Wilson's policy
of "Watchful Waiting" in the trouble
with the Mexican republic and pro-
rhesied that sooner or later in some
honorable and peaceable way, either
by purchase or protectorate, the
American flag would wave over the
northern porto nof Mexico
General Wilson placed most of the
blame for the present conditions in
Mexico on the holders OF real estate.
He compared the holding of real es-
tate in Mexico with the conditions
surrounding land holding in England
Immediately after the conquest of the
island by william the Conqueror in
1905. and which still exists in ireland
today.
General Wilson briefly told of the
history of Mexico from the earliest
traditional Aztec days to the present
time He especially emphasized the
race which exists in the country,
where only FIVE to ten per cent. of
the population are white, ten to fif-
teen per cent. mixed, and the remain
der of the people are of indian blood.
General Wilson told of the circum-
stances leading to the assassination
of Madero as president Of the repub-
lie and Of the accession to power of
Huerta. He said Madero was the
one man in many years who realized
that the trouble in Mexico arose over
the question of land ownership, and
property of the people and had tried
to solve the problem, thus precipitat-
ing his own death and the present
revolution.
General Wilson then told briefly OF
the incidents leading to the involving
of the United States in the present
hostilities. In speaking of the arrest
Of the Americans at Tampico and
their subsequent release, he declared
that in his opinion, the apology giver
by the commandant of the Mexican
garrison to the American commander
should have ended the incident H'
then expressed approval OF Presiden
Wilson's policy of "watchful wait
ing" and said that. in his opinion, th'
logical thing to do would be to allow
the three main contestants in Mex
leo to fight each other TO a standstill
and then for the United States to Sc
cure by purchase. or by some othe
honorable means. the northern por
ton Of Mexico. This purchase woull
be the more desirable, he declared, ol
account of the vast amountof Ameri
can capital invested in northern Mex
/ leo.
: In conclusion, General Wilson de
clared that sooner or later, in som
honorable way, either by purchase o
( protectorate, the United States woull
acquire a northern portion of Mexico
equal in size to four states having tn
area of California, and being equal,

sentative of some other nation con-

or Costa Rica," Barrett said. "The
A. B. G. governments have not
recognized the Huerta regime and
for that reason, General Huerta
would doubtless object to carrying
on negotiations with the United
States through them. This point
could not be raised against Spain
or Costa Rica.

cate that he preferred 10 deal with

With Huerta ready to mediate, the
question has arisen here whether final
negotiations shall be conducted on
foreign soil. IL was pointed out To-
day that Japan and Russia met at
Portsmouth, n. IT,, and settled their
differences after President Roosevelt
had succeeded in bringing them to-

Barrett was of the opinion that pre-
liminary peace negotiations could be
carried on through the Washington
and Mexico City Representatives OF

of Felix Diaz are few in the Mexi-
can capital. The enemies of his
revolution, of course, execrate him,
but he finds as much criticism among
his former supporters as he does
among those who have always op-
posed him.
Lack of nerve and ability" is the
charge generally brought against him.
No man In Mexico has had more on
portunities to make something of
himself and to take a hand in the
destines of Mexico than Felix Diaz
for, even though he was only the
nephew of Old President Diaz, the
President felt even more kindly TO
Felix than he did to his own son
who was thoroughly incapable of as
suming responsibility of any sort 81
tried to make him a statesman they
said old Poriirio remarked of
Felix, "and he wasn't big enough for
it, l tried to make him a financler,
and gave him every chance in the
world, but he couldn't rise to the op-
portunity. l tried TO make him a
soldier. but he failed Then I gave
him the little job of being chief OF
police Of Mexico City and he was
happy"

was always ready to steal from the
poor, but he wouldn't take money
from a government he was trying to
overthrow"
There were 10000 rifles stored in
Vera Cruz which Felix Diaz might
have seized but, with his usual super
ficiality, he didn't know of their
presence in the town until it was too
late and he was in need of rifles and
ammunition at that moment. From
a military standpoint Diaz also made
a characteristic and fatal mistake
when, after seizing Vera Cruz, he did
not send out scouting parties to cut
the railroads lines between the capt.
tai and his seaport stronghold. over
these lines, within a few hours after
his revolution, troops were rushed
to overthrow him, and Felix Diaz
wound up in jail, with a death sent
ence hanging over his head.
MeNicans, like all other folk, the
world over, love q winner But they
have seen Felix Diaz fail IN every
thing he undertook. and they were
not surprised to see Huerta. after
Madero had been overthrown, seize
the presidency and send the weak
Felix away ON a foreign mission. Al
most everything is fair i'm war and
Mexican politics, but there are thou
sands of former supporters of Felix
Diaz who have never been able IA
! forget that, after Madero had saved
/ Diaz' life, Diaz turned about and as
sisted in taking the life of Madero
Among all classes I'm Mexico, except
for few politicians who might
J profit by his success, the opinion Is
general that almost any candidate for
the presidency who might be selected
from present Mexican leaders would
be more efficient than Felix Diaz.
