New York April 24.-John W. But

Episcopal church in Mexico. writing
April IA to DIR. Ordham, corresponding
secretary of the board of missions In
New York, gives the following inter
esting picture of the scenes in the
City of Mexico following the Tam
pico incident:
yesterday was one of the most
anxious days We have spent during
the four years of trouble in this coun

by the serious rumorS coming to us
from the north. south and east but
also by the flag incident at Tam
pico.
"The most serious of the rumors
seems to be the fear of armed inter
vention.
The papers this morning" the let
ter continues, "put a better aspect on
the situation and insist that the gov
ernment is winning out in the vic
Unity of Torreon. If that should not
prove to be the case we would find
ourselves between two fires with the

THE VOLUNTEER
ARMY BILL GOES
THROUGH SENATE
without DEBATE
win Put al Volunteers cn
Same Footing as Most Of
the Regular Army-Was
Signed by the President
Today.
e. AssOCIATED PREss.

Washington, April 24-The senate
today without debate passed the vol
unteer army bill as agreed to by the
conference of the house and senate. II
will be signed by the president tomor-
row.
The bill was designed to cure de-
fects in existing law relating to vol
unteer forces and it is relied upon to
put these forces upon a wartime foot
ing almost similar to the regular
army.
EXcept for the fact that the volun-
teer army would be dtsbanded -inlme-
diately by presidentia1 action at the
close of hostilities which led to its or
ganization, there would be little diff
ference between it and the regular
standing army.
The volunteer army under the terms
of the bill is to be raised while war
is existing or while war is immi-
nent," but only after congress has
given the president authority. The
president would call for volunteers by
proclamation and make the necessary
regulations for receiving them into
service. Enlistments would be appor-
toned among the states according TO
population.
The president appoints the officers
instead of the governors of the states
and he has absolute authority to or
ganize brigades and divisions without
regard to state lines. The enlistment
period is four years, as in the regular
army.
PLANS GOING AHEAD.
President Wilson and his staff to-
day continued proceeding their plans
for operations in Mexico with busi-
ness like expedition.
The day found every available AM
erican warship pIoughing southwark
for Mexican waters on the Atlantic
and the Pacific and full brigade Of
the first army division shipping in
transports from Galveston for Vera
Cruz. This army force would place
more than 10000 American troops in
the Mexican seaport to hold the city

Washington, April 24,-While the
attention of the American govern
ment for the most part today was con-
centrated on restoring order at Vera
Cruz and expediting the departure Of
Americans from Mexico, a watchful
eye was trained on the trans -conti
mental boundary between Mexico and
the United States for signs of hos
tility from the Constitutionalists.
The president and his cabinet had
long meeting after which optimism
was conspicuously apparent There
was no particular development to
which a feeling of hopefulness that a
real war may be averted could be
traced but Villas friendly pronounce
ment had impressed the officials with
the possibility that the Constitution
aIists would remain neutral while the
United States sought reparation from
Huerta.
Other officials were not so SAN
guine. The American army moved
