Text OF Statement.
For more than two years revolu-
tionary conditions have existed in
Mexico. The purpose of the revolu-
tion was to rid Mexico of men who ig-
nored the constitution of the republic
and used their power in contempt of
the right of its people, and with these
purposes the people of the United
States instinetively and generously
sympathized. But the leaders Of the
revolution in the very hour of their
success, have disagreed and turned
their arms against one another
''All protesting the same objects,
they are, nevertheless, unable or un-
willing to cooperate \ central au-
thority at Mexico City is no sooner set
up than it is undermined and its au-
thority denied by those who expected
to support it.
Mexico Is DesoIatCd.
Mexico is apparently no nearer a
solution of her tragical troubles than
she was when the revolution was first

a civil war as if by fire. Her crops
are destroyed, her fields lie unseeded,
her work cattle are confiscated for the
use of the armed factions her people
flee to the mountains to escape be-
ing drawn into unavailing bloodshed
and no man seems to see or lead the
way to peace and settled order There
Is no proper protection either for her
own citizens or for the citizens Of
other nations resident and at work
within her territory Mexico is starN-
ing and without a government.
United States VIII Aid.
In these circumstances the people
and government of the United States
cannot stand indifferently by and do
nothing to serve their neighDors.
They want nothing for themselves in
Mexico. Least of all do they desire
TO settle her affairs for her, or claim
any right to do So Buts neither do
they wish to see utter ruin come upon
her. and they deem it their duty as
friends and neighbors to lend any ana
they properly can to any instrument

in bringing about a settlement which
Will embody the real objects or the
volution---constitutio government
and the rights of the people. Patrlot-
ic Mexicans are sick at heart and cry
out for peace and for every self-sacrl-
flee that may be necessary to secure
IT. The people cry out for food ana
will presently hate as much as they
fear every man in their country or OUT
of it who stands between them ana
their daily bread.
Frank Statement of Policy.
ut is time, therefore, that the gov
ornment OF the United States should
frankly state the policy which, IN
these extraordinary circumstances II
becomes its duty to adopt 1t must
presently do what it has not hitherto
done or felt at liberty to do, iend its
active support to some man or group
of men, If such may be found, VINO
can rally the suffering people OF Mex
leo to their support in an effort 10 lS-
more, If they cannot unite, the warning
factions of the country, return TO the
constitution of the republic so long IN
abeyance and set up government at
Mexico City which the great powers
of the world can recognize ana zeal
with, government with whom the
program of the revolution VIII be q
business and not merely a platform
Prompt Relief Demanded.
Il therefore, publicly and very sol
emnly call upon the leaders OF rae

and to act promptly for the relief and
