IRISH PARTY APPROVES
REDMOND'S DECLINATION
But Pledges Hearty Cooperation With
Newly Formed Cabinet.

Dublin, May 25, 11.27 p. m.-The
Irish party at a meeting today unani-
mously adopted a resolution approving
John Redmond's action in declining a
seat in the new cabinet. The party
issued a statement declaring that "the
events of last week have created a sit
uation demanding the serious and
careful consideration of the Irish peo-
ple.''
Reciting Premier Asquith's assur-
ance that the coalition would not in
volve the surrender by any person of
his political purposes or ideals, the
statement continues:
I'VE accept that declaration, and so
long as the pledge is honorably and
strictly observed we shall be ready to
give to the new government, in carry
ing on the war, the same hearty CO.
operation as has been given by the
party to the last government.
Principles Dear to Irishmen.
This war, as the world has repeat
edly been assured by British states
men, is being waged for the strict and
honorable maintenance of treaties and
for the right of small nations to free
dom and the unhampered development
of their national life. These principles
are very dear to Irishmen and of in
calculable value to the future of the
Irish race. But, while we feel conf
dent that these principles will be re-
membered and acted upon in any fu-
ture transactions between the British
and Irish nations, and while we ac-
cept this pledge of the prime minister
we feel that this is the hour when il
is incumbent upon US to remind the
Irish people that the great achieve
ments of this party and the movement
from which it sprang have been wor
by reliance upon themselves and by
Independent action in parliament. and
we are strongly of the opinion that the
chairman acted wisely in declining

Galveston, Texas, March 25.-The
playing of searchlights about Vera
Cruz, Mexico, every night and the in
creased garrisons in the outer forti-
f1cations have given rise to fears that
General Varranza's headquarters may
be attcked, according to word receiv-
ed here today from Vera Cruz.
Bands of reVOlutionistS opposed to
Carranza have been drawing closer
and in shooting at and looting trains
in and out of Vera Cruz, have been
growing daily boIder. Meantime
preparations have been made for a
possible move Of General Carranza to
a haven of safety on the island of San
Jun di Ului in the harbor of Vera Cruz
For months he has occupied quarters
in the lighthouse on the mainland 300
yards from a Mexican transport. He
seldom has ventured from the light
house.
1t is said that at San Juan de Ului
elaborate offices and living rooms were
being prepared and it was stated by
the attendants that it was soon to be
occupied by Carranza- Until the
American occupation of Vera Cruz last
year the island, built by the Spaniards,
was used as a prison and it's dungeons
some of which are beneath the water
lin, have housed goods of prisoners
The part of the prison now undergoing
repairs is known as the Administers
tiOn building. Workmen said General
Carranza had directed the cleaning uu
of the place. The island is about ten
minutes boat ride from the nearest
point on the mainland.

New Version of
Monroe Doctrine
PROPOSED BY DR.. SANTIAGO Pc
.REZ TRIANA OF COLOMBIA.
In A DRAMATIC SPEECH
Would Make 1t Impossible in the Fu-
ture for One American Nation to
Covet or Invade a Neighabor's Ter
ritory-Susgestion AppIauded.

Washington, May 25.-The story of
how vast resources of the United
States may be used to aid the repub-
lies of South and Central America is
clearing away difficulties that the Eu-
ropean war has brought upon the
western hemisphere was told in part
today to business men and bankers
who represent this nation of the Pan
American financial conference.
Commercial interests.
In group conferences delegates
from eighteen countries began ex-
plantations to representatives of the
commercial and financial interests of
the United States of their peculiar
needs, and indicated in what ways
cash and credit could be used to best
advantage to strengthen trade rela-
tions. Only a few of the delegates
were prepared with concrete suggeS-
tions but general idea expressed was
that in the southern republics the sur
plus capital of the United States
would find fertile fields for invest
ment which must bring in the future
mercial interests.
Dramatic Speech.
The only general session of the con-
ference today was marked by a dra-
matte speech by DR.. Santiago Perez
waved the flag of Pan-Americanism
and declared that this hemisphere
should be for Americanism. He pro-
posed a new version of the Monroe
Doctrine that would make it impos-
sible in the future for one American
nation to covet a foot of a neighbor's
territory or invade her sacred soil.
1t was a speech such as had not been
heard before at the conference, de-
voted largely to questions of COM
merce and trade and the delegates
greeted it with long continued ap-
plauSe.

TURKEY ANTICIPATED
ITALYS WAR DECLARATION
So Far the Relations Between the Two
Countries Remain Normal

Constantinople, via London, May 25,
7.45 p. m.-Italy's declaration of war
against Austria-Hungary caused no
surprise at the Turkish capital because
it was expected. The official world
and the public show no excitement as
so far the relations between Turkey
and Italy remain normal. Whether
Ita1y's action is likely to involve Tur-
key is a matter which the members of
the diplomatic corps are not willing
to discuss.
The Turkish press has treated the
affair conservatively, while in govern
mental circles the situation is viewed
calmly, but with determination to
meet future exigencies to the best of
Turkeys ability.
