Lansing Disappointed When
Latin-Americans Decline to
Go Limit in Supporting
Concerted Action.
INSTRUCTIONS
Unwilling to Help United
States if It Lands Army to
Settle Trouble in Southern
Republic.

WASHINGTON, Aug. T.
The administration is intensely
disappointed over the result to
date of it's Mexican conferences.
Instead of finding that the
Latin-Americans were willing to
go the limit in supporting plans
for concerted action, Secretary
Of State Lansing was forced to
report to the President that
many of them believed the Mex
ican people should be permitted
to settle their own affairs.
So far as armed Intervention by a
joint force was concerned, the United
States has been told none of the Lat
in-American countries would favor it..
They believe that If the United States
wants to use arms to settle the diff
culties in Mexico it should do so it.
self on it's own initiative.
May Meet Next Week.
No date had been set today for a
resumption of the conferences in New
York. Secretary Lansing stated that
ne hoped they would get together by
the middle of next week. But that will
be contingent on the rapidity with
which some of the South Americans
receive instructions.
1t is understood that complete re-
rorts of all that has taken place have
been sent to their home capitals by
the diplomats. All approved the plan
for another appeal-this time joint
one-to the Mexicans to get together
in the interest of peace. But so far as
further action was concerned the ma
iority of the Ambassadors and minis
ters were without authority to act.
CircuIates Appeal.
Meanwhile Secretary Lansing will
prepare the new appeal. 1t is to be
couched in stronger words than was
the original appeal of the president.
The plan is to have it circulated gen.
orally throughout Mexico, and to serve
copies on Carranza, Villa and Zapata.
This appeal will point out that Mex.
ico's right to settle her own troubles
is recognized, but 1t will also be stated
that in the interest of friendship, "the
sister republics" feel constrained to
demand that this settlement take place
at once.

IMPORTERS SEEK ACTION
AGAINST BRITISH EMBARGO
Reply Of United States Will Reject Stand Of Great Britain
and Demand Change Of Policy on Seizure Of Goods
Destined for Neutral Ports.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 7-Emphatic
demands for immediate action on the
shipping situation are pouring in on
the administration. The great import
ing interests of the country are angry
because of the delay in definitely stat
ing the position of the United States.
Their insistence was today expected
to hurry the completion of the reply
to the British notes, the tentative draft
of which has been sent to President
Wilson by Secretary Lansing.
1t Is positively stated that the note
does not take on the form Of an ulti-
matum at any time. At the outset it
rejects the British declaration that the
allies cannot make a blockade against
Germany effective unless she also
blockades neutral ports. s
Rejects British Claims.
The United States emphatically as.
serts that this government did not
blockade neutral ports during the Civ
il War. 1t is also pointed out that in
all of the decisions cited by England
in support Of her contention, the ques-
tion Of expediency at that time was
the moving spirit, but that since then.

HAITIhNS HIDE
SUPPLIES FOR
new HOSTILITY

WASHINGTON. Aug. Further
trouble is expected by the United
States in Haiti. That is the real
reason why $50 additional marines
under command of Col. l.. w. Waller
are to be sent there on another war
ship. Admiral Caperton's confidential
advices to the state department, the
International News Service learns, in.
dicate that a far more serious revolu
tionary movement than had previous
ly been reported, was under way.
Admiral Caperton has reported the
capture Of considerable ammunition
and arms. But 1t is known that still
more supplies are held in various
places by the Haitians. When the
Tennessee reaches Haiti probably
next Wednesday or Thursday, the
American forces will total more than
1000. They will have 70 machine
guns and three small field pieces
With this force at his command, it Is
felt certain that Admiral Caperton can
command order despite any move the
Haitiens might make.
