"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. A long
distance telephone message from Du
quesne said the Americans in that min
ing camp and at Patagonia had armed
themselves and were prepared to fire
on the Mexicans. Only eight armed
Mexicans started from Patagonia, but
they were said to have gathered re
cruits and were headed for the border
at LochieL
The Sheriff at Duquesne called for
help and at 3 o'clock two automobiles
loaded with armed American civilians
and a Lieutenant of the United States
Army started from Nogales over the
20-mile mountain road to the border.
The orders of the- Americans are to
shoot if the Mexicans show fight.
Americans in the copper mining region
west of here have been terrorized by
the rising of the Mexicans.

ST. LOUIS, April 25. A request for
half-fare rates on the Missouri Paciflc
T Iron Mountain system for the Mexican
refugees now being brought to Gulf
ports was made on the passenger traf-
T fic department of that road tonight by
Secretary of State Bryan,

BROWNSVILLE, Tex., April 25. The

Matamoros. under date of April 24, was
given out there today:
"Having come to my notice that the

ceedingly clear. They said that war
should be declared; that the United
States should send the Army into Mex

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

position they believed It to be the

Although the news of proffered

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

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.

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.

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.

WASHINGTON, April 25. Secretary
Daniels tonight estimated that be
tween 8000 and 3500 refugees either are
on their way from Mexico or under
protection awaiting departure for the
United States. This statement was is
sued by the Navy Department:
"In view of the erroneous Impression
reported to exist in Mexico City that
non-combatants are not allowed to
leave Vera Cruz, Secretary Daniels has
cabled Admiral Badger to make every
possible effort to spread broadcast in
formation that such Is not the case,
but. on the contrary, every possible
thing will be done to assist them in
leaving Vera Cruz for Mexico City or
elsewhere if they so desire."

Acting upon the Governor's recommen

retary Garrison and telegraphed this
reply to Governor Colquitt:
"Secretary Garrison says he has. no
money out of which he can pay the
Texas Guards. He contends that suf
