an Baker dictated thls statement:

tary Baker dictated this statement:
The Mexicans who oppose the de
facto government in Mexico would OF
course be glad to complicate relations
between the United States and Mexico
and our information is that they think
this an appropriate time to do so. Tine
statement made last night by the de-
partment ought to discourage any ad-
venture on their part in that direction.
Everybody knows that many Mex
leans in this country are constantly
agitating against the de facto govern
ment- Any sympathy there may be on
the American side of the border with
the movement is wholly from this
source.
The only possible suggestion of q
political purpose Gin the war depart
ments statement) is to prevent people
in Mexico from creating disturbance
of a political character in furtherance
of their own design
Part of the information which led
to his statement the secretary said
reached him yesterday afternoon with
in few minutes of the time he left
to deliver campaign speech in West
Virginia. Mr.. Baker, it was learned,
took his adviceS up with Lansing and
the latter is said to have advised that
there be no delay in making public
the substance of the information.
Dangerous Condition on Border.
Secretary Lansing views the in
formation, altho somewhat indefinite
as to individuals, as showing a dan
gerous situation along the border.
Publication of the fact that the gov
eminent has taken steps to check
mate such a movement, he believed,
goes far toward preventing an attack
either on border towns or General
Pershings forces. Secretary Baker
indicated that no immediate move
ment of General Pershing's columns
q
say, however, whether orders had been
given to meet an attack. He gave the
impression that Generals Funston and
Pershing might have been directed to
take certain steps of a retaliatory ma
ture, should an attack be made upon
their forces. or that the department
had such orders under consideration.
81 have nothing to say on that SUBJ
ject," was his only response to every
question in regard to orders sent to
the border.
Later Mr.. Lansing authorized the
following statement:
81 was quite correctly reported last
night in the statement that Secretary
Bakers announcement was inspired by
absolutely no political consideration
as to this country Nor does it mean
to infer that Americans of any sort
are involved in the plot. There are
many Mexican refugees in this country
who are inimical to the presidents
Mexican policy who would doubtless
consider the present time as ripe for
the furtherance of their projects.
silver Not From Americans.
1.-The silver which. is known to have
gone from the country to Mexican
bandits, was not necessarily from
Americans. Indeed, 1 can not con-
ceive that there is any American citi-
zen who is so heartless. so entirely
cruel, 80 wanton as to take political
step that would involve American
lives
1.-The warning was given simply to
protect American lives and property,
and I have every hope it will be eff
fective"
