Washington. June 10. -President
| Wilson has been holding conferences
with Duvall West this week about the
situation in Mexico. Mr.. West came
to Washington quietly few days ago
and is the guest of AitorneyGener
Gregory The fact that he is here and
that he has been comforting with the
president ha., not been known gener-
ally.
AS a result of the conferences with
his special commissioner to Mexico
the president still is understood to
be firmly fixed in his intention to
bring the existing anarchy in Mexico
to an end.
1t is not his purpose to take any
precipitate action. He is earnestly
DESTROYS of accomplishing peace with
! out intervention and that will be per-
fectly clear to the Mexican factions
and to the world.
Reasonable time will he given to the
factions to get together, or, if they
desire, test their strength in battle.
But the president is said to be resolv
ed that the present conditions shall
not be permitted to continue indefi-
nitely simply because the revolution
lists refuse to subordinate their own
selfish interests to the public well
| fare.
His determination on that point Will
be so impressed on the leaders within
the next few weeks that it is hoped
a coalition will be effected which the
United States will be Justified in rec
ognizing as the responsible govern
ment.
If the United States accords such
recognition, it will open its resources
to the group so recognized and en-
able them quickly to crush out all
opposition.
| resent American Invasion.
The action of the American govern
ment in ordering fleet to the west
ern coast of Mexico with marines fol-
the landing of an expedition. II nee
essary to protect Americans now be-
sieged by the Yaqui Indians, evidently
has aroused those in authority in thai
district to indignation. The agenc!
of the provisional government today
announced that Governor 'Maytorena
in answer to a telegram from Genera
Villa. directing him to send troops tf
restore order and protect foreigners
and their interests in the Yaqui val
ley, telegraphed he had sent 7O(
troops for that purposes. They were
expected to arrive at the scene OF the
disturbance Friday. This information
came to the Villista representative
here Friday night from Diaz LON
bardo, secretary of state at Chihua
hua. and by instructions from hin
was communicated to the state de
partment here today.
The Villa representative in Wash
ington said that this prompt actor
by General Villa undoubtedly woul'
furnish effective protection and rem
! der it unnecessary for the United
States to undertake its alleged con
templated landing of marines.
In response to questio mas to nov
American marines would be received
in Mexico, Senior Llorente. the Vill'
representative here, said that no mat
ter with what declarations the land
ing of an expedition might be preced
ed, it would only be accepted b.
Mexicans of all factions as an un
friendly act
The Red Cross reports the foo
conditions at Vera Cruz and Monclav
as worse.
