VIII there be Ware

The Mexican situation is SO
tense at this hour, that it is practl-
cally impossible to report just
what conditions really are.
While the latest news we have
from the Tines icayune reports
that Mexico refuses the demands
of the United States, The Shreve-
port Times Published some s
hours later, states that Mexico S
still silent on receipt of the note
and gives no indication what
answer will be given.
There is nc doubt that the
American people are keyed up to
the highest tension and the govern
ment will not consider any offer
of meditation or arbitration, only
a full compliance to just demands
otherwise a state Of war will be
declared between the United
States and Mexico, owing to the
acts of the Mexican government
Every days delay sees the U.
IS. in better position for the swift
action that may follow; the troops
are being drawn up all along the
border in what is in effect a line
of battle, awaiting developments
and this formidable array will no
doubt have great influence in de-
tarmininu MexicO'S answer.
