but the saving and removing Of Amer-
cans and foreigners from peril has
been It's first consideration. and has. In
fact. been its principal occupation dur
ing the last few trying weeks.
AS has been said before. the fact that
our citizens and the foreigners looking to
us for protection were getting out in
safety is the best answer TO any question
as 10 the judgment shown in this proceed
ure. So much for tho remaining outside
OF our ships and OF the reason why the
Americans were carried on the British
ship from Tamplco TO our own squadron
1T is hoped that the department has
now made clear that the British ship was
not used TO take of our citizens because
OF any error OF Judgment on our part.
but because the British captain himself
requested such r course and as repre-

sponsibnity for whatever action seemed
wisest.
Took Refugees Back Once.
I'm regard to the refusal TO take the
refugees back TO Tampico later: 1t is
perfectly true that during November the
situation seemed so acute that about 400
Americans were taken aboard our ships
from Tampico. and that later when the
excitement had subsidized they were re-
turned there from the feet. The very
fact that this was done should he evil
dence OF our desire to permit them to
guard their property and TO work their
oil wells just so long as il was safe to
do so.
I'm the present situation it does not
seem safe to assume the responsibility OF
sending not only men, but helpless women
and children, deliberately back into a
danger from which they have just been
rescued. What excuse could the Secre-
tary of the Navy give 10 the American
people II by his orders American citizens
are carried back to meet that death
later. owing to the chaotic conditions
which must result from war now waging
between the Federals and Constitution
alsts?
LAS for the property interests. promises
that they will be respected and protected
have been made by the Constitutionallst
generals who are in practical control OF
the district in which the oil wells are
located The Federals have likewise
promised TO protect oil wells in any dis
trict they may control II is to be hoped
these promises will be kept. If property
owners choose to return to Tampico, risk
ing their own lives and the lives of their
families. it does not lie in our power TO
stop them To deliberately send them
there would place upon us the RESPONSE
bility of their safety. 1t is difficult TO see
how any one could reasonably expect us
TO assume such an awful risk

meets. All the delegates will have an
opportunity TO express their views ana
then will be catechised regarding con-
ditions In Mexico and the attitude OF
their respective governments.
Although 1t Is appreciated that the
mediation is placed at some disadvan-
tage by the refusal of Carranza TO par
ticipate in il, yet il is argued that
nothing other than some such scheme
a 8 the mediators will propose can com
pose MeXicos difficulties. 1t is felt
that the success of Villa and Carranza,
which is hoped for by the administra-
ton. can accomplish nothing more in
the way Of the general pacification OF
Mexico than the continued regime OF
Huerta.
Zapata. il is asserted, will never sup
port the Constitutionalists, although
he is opposed to Huerta. a large por-
ton of the following Of all the reVo-
lutionists, it is contended, has become
accustomed to gain a livelihood by
fighting and footing, and 1t VIII re-
auire a strong hand TO suppress them
and the disorder they will create.
For these reasons it is believed that
even If one or all of the parties to the
present controversy should at first re-
ject the scheme for the pacification OF
Mexico which will be framed by the
mediators. ultimately they will be COM
PEELED TO adopt it. even if such adop-
ton should be delayed until after far
more extensive military operations by
the United States.
