Mexican Situation Has Become so Serious Again,
That Uncle Sam Takes Steps to Guar
antee Protection Of Foreigners.
INTERVENTION IS not THE IDEA, YET
Carranza Has Become 50 Chesty, That Display
Must be Made in Order to Bring
Him to Reason.

Whether this protection will come
from Carranza or Villa and Zapata,
remains to be worked out, but Presi-
dent Wilson today was confident that
Carranza would heed the representa-
tions of this government and see that
troops remained in the capital in suf-
'ficient numbers to prevent anti-foreign
demonstrations.
The sending Of two additional
battleships from Guantanamo to Vera
Cruz was expected to have salutary
effect on Carranza. The latter's capt.
tai is Vera Cruz and the presence off
that harbor of American dread
naughts is expected to demonstrate
to him that he has a duty and re-
sponsibility which cannot be shirked.
Oficials today confidently expressed
their BELIEF that Carranza would not
prove as defiant as Huerta was. They
said they had reason to believe that
his advisers had told him that the
United States was not sincere in its
demands that all foreigners be pro-
tected and that this accounted in
great part for the defiance Of Ob-e-
gon at Mexico City which the state
department claims Is responsible for
tbs latest crisis In Mexico.
y In discussing the Mexican situation
with callers today President Wilson
made it evident he has not consid-
cred American armed intervention.
Neither has he been asked to sane
tion an international expedition to go
to Mexico City and preserve order
there. The United States, the presi-
dent explained, has no intention OF
doing anything more In Mexico than
that the rights of all for
eigners be safeguarded.
The Representations made to Car
rama. he said. represent thu views Of
the United States on what appears to
be grave s danger to foreigners.
These views are based on informa-
tion received from the Brazilian min
lister who represents the United
States and Others il the Mexican
capital. In this connection. however,
the executive pointed out that there
are certain persons in Mexico City
and in the United States who are ap-
parently determined to force Amari-
can Intervention even though they
have to furnish the reason themselves
for such intervention Because Of this
fact the president said much Of the
news coming from Mexico City must
be discounted
The president said that the battle
ships being sent to Vera Cruz were
eventually intended to replace war
ships that are already there. For the
present, however, all Of the warships

WASHINGTON March 9.-Secre-
tarv of the Navy Daniels today or
dered Admiral Fletcher to send two
more battleships from Guantanamo to
Vera Cruz.
Fletcher was instructed to place
the two vessels, under the command
OF a flag officer, who will be al ad-
miral The selection Of ships was
left to Admiral Fletcher's discretion.
It was stated at the navy depart
ment that the additions will give the
United States three battleships at
Vera Cruz, including the Delaware, al
really there; two cruisers, the Tacoma
and the Des Moines, and two gun
boats, the Petrol and the Sacramento.
The expectation was that the two
latest battleships will reach Vera
Cruz not later than Friday
The admiral sent with the two craft
will be given supreme charge Of the
American naval forces at the Mexican
port.
It was understood, though not SO
stated by the department, that the
latest ORDER was the result Of last
nights conference between the presi-
dent and secretary Of navy, at which
the Mexican situation was fully scan-
vassed.
The purpose Of the departments
action was said unofflcially to be that
of overawing Carranza and for it's
moral effect in inducing his compli-
ance with the governments latest
communication to him relative to
Mexico City conditions.
Should danger to foreigners develop.
it was understood, however, that full
authority was given to Admiral
Fletcher to have any steps taken
necessary to their protection. The
official impression plainly was that
Carranza was certain to yield to what
was believed to be the last warning
that he must comply With the Ameri-
can demands. Not much attempt was
made to hide the view that today's
step was the most energetic the ad-
ministration has taken q in connection
with the Mexican situation since last
summers crisis.
One effect Of the order, it was
learned, probably would be the Della
wares withdrawal from New York
ma1euvers. The original intention
was to have the Delaware relieved at
Vera Cruz by the Tacoma It now
seemed to be reliably certain that
both vessels would remain in Mexican
waters.
