S t r .c "NO WAR" VIEWS BLAMED Humor of Retirement Said to Have Been Due to- Speech Declaring .Conflict Impossible While He Was in Office. WASHINGTON. April 25. Secretary Bryan today denied rumors that he in tended to resign from the Cabinet. These rumors, persistent and wide spread, were attributed largely to senti ments uttered by the Secretary in the early days of his incumbency. He has spoken often of the subject of uni versal peace and has expressed the altruistic sentiments, and among other things, has declared in a speech de livered In the West, that there would be no war while he was Secretary of State. Mr. Bryan said today: . "The subject of my resignation has never been discussed with anybody nor thought of by me." The Secretary's purpose, it is ex plained, was to emphasize his general conviction that the growing feeling of disapproval of warfare could be relied upon to prevent the country from drifting into war under any set of conditions that could be conceived of by those to whom he addressed him self. Cabinet Members Harmonious. It is further declared on the au thority - of members of the Cabinet that nothing has occurred in any Cabi net meeting to develop any dissatis faction whatever on the part of any individual. It is true they say, that various Cabinet members have viewed certain subjects from different angles, but that invariably has applied to the preliminary phases of Subjects. President Wilson has encouraged ex pressions of individual opinion. This, a naval programme carefully arranged by Secretary Daniels has .been criti cized by a fellow Cabinet officer, or some projected disposition of the American military forces has resulted in suggestion to Secretary Garrison of alteration based on consideration that perhaps had never occurred to him. Final Action Unanimous. In every case, however, according to this authoritative view, when, the dis cussion of the subject was concluded and the views of the Cabinet had crystallized, the ensuing line of action has received the support of every mem ber of the Cabinet. Secretary Daniels, discussing news paper reports of Cabinet friction, said: "There is not now and has not been the least scintilla of friction in the Cabinet. At a time like this, my private Judgment as a newspaper man is that the press owes it as ia patriotic duty not to Bpread such reports." MIXERS DEFEND THESISELYES Automobiles loaded With Armed Civilians Start to Rescue. NOG ALES, Ariz., April 25.

They said that war should be declared; that the United States should send the Army into Mex ico and "go through with what it had started." that in this way only can peace be established on a sound and permanent basis. They represented the sentiment of the House on their side and they prepared to tell the Pres ident that Bince the House took this position they believed It to be the position of the country. Although the news of proffered mediation put a new aspect on the situation, "t was the general under standing that the House leaders ex pect to make their representations to the President as soon as the Army has been concentrated at Vera Cruz. In the Senate there was no such concerted action as was evident In the House, but there were reports of dls satisfaction from Individual Senators and evidence that the bond of silence whjch many Senators have observed for months will be broken on Monday and that .war talk will be heard again. misr a. r I ' t -gMIMtf fr.-.

INSULT BRINGS SACRIFICE Secretary Had Hoped Men of Train- ing and Fatrlotism So Splendid Would ot Aeed to Rally fcoonto Nation's Call. WASHINGTON, April 25. The fight ing at Vera Cruz, "due to the studied insult" of Huerta, was made the sub ject of a tribute to the Navy and Its dead by Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy, tonight in speaking be fore the Society of Naval Engineers at- the Army and Navy Club. After repeating his tribute to the of ficers and men of the Navy delivered at the Navy League banquet in New York last week. Secretary Daniels con tinued: "I did not say it then, but I felt the hope In my heart that fate would not decree that these men should soon be called upon to rally, with their splen did powers and training and patriot ism, to the call of their country in. crisis, but it has been even so. The studied insult of Victoriano Huerta, who calls himself the provisional Pres ident of Mexico, in refusing to salute the American flag, has made necessary the sacrifice of human life and this is the honor iroll of the first dead in the fighting at Vera Cruz." Mr. Daniels then read the names of the 17 bluejackets and marines killed at Vera Crust. RAILROAD CORPS FORMED California Men FamiUar With Mex ican Linos Volunteer. -SAN FRANCISCO. April 25.

CARRANZA JUNTA EXPLAINS Seizure Still Resented as Affront to Mexicans Refugees Flocking Into El Paso Present Problem. EL PASO, Tex., April 25. A hundred more refugees came out of Mexico to day and the hotels and rooming houses are crowded with them. In a week or ten days, it is said, their maintenance will become a serious question. General Villa reiterated today his statements with reference o the Amer ican occupation of Vera Cruz. 'I hope they hold it for a while un til I can get down ana take Mexico City." he declared. While the military leader of the revolution was giving expression to such utterances to visitors from time to time, the Carranza junta here was busy explaining that Carranza, while not hostile, was correct in resenting the seizure as an affront to the Mex ican nation. General Villa, when told tonight of the acceptance by the United States of the proposition .made by Argentina, Brazil and Chile to arbitrate the dif ferences between the United States and Mexico, said he hoped Huerta also would accept this, clearing up the In ternational feature of the embrogllo, leaving the people of Mexico to settle their own troubles. "The revolution may then be prose cuted without fear c international entanglements," he said.- NEW REGIMENT IS POPULAR Governor Issues Statement Regarding Oregon Troops. SALEM, Or., April 25. (Special.) Governor West today announced that applications for membership in the cavalry regiment which Lieutenant P. J. Hennessey, U. S. A., and himself were organizing were being received in large numbers. He has mailed blank appli cations to the Mayors of all cities, and it is probable that enough responses will be received next week to begin getting the troops into shape. The Governor gave out the following state merit in regard to state troops today: "While the organization of the pro posed cavalry regiment is progressing nicely, nothing Is being done which will interfere with the recruiting to full strength of the other arms of the eervice. "In event troops are called, the Ore gon National Guard, as now organized, will be the first to go. This is as it should be, as those -who have been as faithful. in. their . work, as the. pfXicera and men of the organized militia should be given their opportunity when troops are needed. "When the call is made for troops I earnestly hope all of the officers and men may be able to qualify and the guard go to the front as now organized, except that it is my earnest desire to see the Coast Artillery Corps sent as another regiment of infantry, and I am putting forth my best efforts to bring this about. "Captain Welch's battery, owing to its splendid fefficlency, is bound to make a name for Itself -should it get to the front." COMPANY I GROWING FAST Colonel Says It Would Require but Few Hours for Full Strength. That Company 1, Third Oregon In fantry, is fast recruiting to war strength was the word brought to Port land yesterday by Colonel John M. Poorman, from Woodburn. "The company Is so nearly fully re cruited now," said Colonel Poorman, that a call for service would mean that It would be filled within a few hours." Colonel Poorman, who saw service with the Second Oregon in the Philip pines, retired as Colonel of the Third last Spring, being succeeded by Colonel Martin.

Those of ficials in Washington who have studied Huerta's personality as it has been revealed to them and his stubborn in difference to any plan which would eliminate him from the head of the Mexico City government, were skep tical of the success of the peace plan tonight.

Full information will be provided to all applicants. pointed to the undertaking as extreme, ly difficult, should it extend beyond an adjustment of the Tamplco incident and the present critical relations be tween the United States and the Huerta authorities. On the other hanJ. the belief was expressed in diplomatic circles that Huerta might be willing to yield on being convinced by the principal nations of South America of the true situation the possibility of a foreign war and international complications generally, not only with the Unltefl States, but with South American coun tries who might support the Wash ington Government. While Administration officials dis cussed the peace offer freely and many did not believe It would produce results, the fact that the United States Government had favorably received the good offices of three Latin nations was regarded as of great Importance In the future to the relations of the Pan American republics to each other. Some officials expressed the view also that even if armed intervention on an ex tenae scale became necessary the United States would have completed its record for a settlement of the Mex ican difficulty through peaceful means.
