m.inl Mexican Inaurrecto leaders of
the Interview of Senor Umantour n

divided between keen disappointment

plans which tie has not been at liberty
to make public '
While the actions of the Minister

after conferences with ITestdent DIas.
aome plan for irrantlna. sufficient re
form would be announced.
On -one point tne Insurrecto leaders
saM they were unalterably deter
mined they would not lav down their
arms durtnjr peace nenotlatlon. ann.
If there was to be any truce. It would
be an "armd tru'-e." This was the
view of Ooniales fJarxa. the Insurrecto
Secretary of State, and Braultc Her
nantex. the Insurrecto Secretary of
hthuahua Ptate. and It was eald by
ISem to be the emphatic view of
Vranrlico I. Madero. the revolutionary
ITeeldrnt.
War Will Xos Bo More Bitter.
The Insurrecto leader made no at
tempt to conceal their disappointment
Kn.ouraement. they said, had been
taken from I.lraantouf s failure, while
en route to Mexico City, to deny Tf-I-orti
that tentative peace proposals
had been drawn up. and It was confl-d-ntly
felt President llas would sea a
need far radical reforms.
Fenor pan said:
"It Is now our purpose to convince.
Tla of the seriousness of the revolu
tion. It appears the war will now
mn on with mora bitterness thaa he
tor. Tor a time the overnment felt we
wera making rapid progress. I.ltnan
limr louthi to allay our activity by
tacitly giving out the lmprson that
reforms wera to be granted. It P
feara to have been a ruse. 1 am cer
tain when Madero. who Is now IS
llles In the mountains, hears of It. ha
will retaliate mora vigorously than
might be believed.
l.lmantoor Contradicts Himself.
In his Interview. Fenor Umantour
contradicted himself. In Parta be aatd
lie recognised the reasonablenesa of the
demands of hla people. Now ho states
Inferentlalty that wa have no reason
on our side at all. and that our de
mands, such as the maintaining of arms
while peace plana are considered, are
an absurdity. Our demands wera all
put before tha government before we
took up am. a. Tha doors wera ciosea
to us and wa appealed to deaf ears.
It Is obvious that. If wa laid down our
arms, our leaders would go to Jail, and
It would be sad to predict what would
become f the rest.
The local customs) offlclala today re
ceived word from Washlnatan that
Mrmrnta of arms and amrhunttlon
were being made from various parts
of the I'nlted Plates to border points
In Texas and Arizona, and Instructions
were given to prevent their being taken
Into Mexico.
Ureat activity waa manifest among
the Mexican troops la Juares today. All
the prisoners In the Jail wera taken
out and searched. People who croased
from the American side were subject
ed to more than the ordinary scrutiny.
A newspaper correspondent Just back
from a tour of Teplc. Sonora. and Slna

Ten rebels In the field In the three
states. There are no Americana, tha
men comprising tha poorest and
wealthiest classes.

need be no longer any doubt. It was
said by Administration officials, re
garding the President's policy.
Mr. Tart has announced he will do
everything possible to maintain friend
ly relations between this country and
Mexico. Any rupture must come as
the result of some overt act on Mexi
can aolL The United States has no de
sire to interfere in tha Internal affairs
of Mextoo and President Taft will not
recommend any such Interference to
Congress unless clrcumatancea permit
of no other possible course
Movement Sobers Mexicans.
The American troopa wera sent to
Texas and prepared for any emergency
on tha strength of reports that, condi
tions In Mexico were approaching such
chaos thst any tlma might threaten
American lives or property.
These reports Were of such a nature
(hat the President felt he could not
fall to heed them. lie acted quickly
and hoped the threat of danger would
ba stayed. He believes this has been
accomplished and that the presence of
the Army In Texas, within striking
distance of tha Mexican border, haa
had a aobering Influence and that
Americans and American property will
be reapected.
There will be no move toward the
Mexican border unless outrages so
flagrant a to call for tha presence of
a protecting force occur. Even then,
the President would not think of act
ing without the consent of Congress.
. The Umltatlona upon the power of
the President to commit an act that
might ba Interpreted aa an act- of war
are so well defined that Mr. Taft has
been amused at many reports as to
what he proposed to do with tha Army
after It was mobilised.
Ilax Is Given, Chance.
The President felt It waa his duty
to prepare for an emergency, ao that.
If Congress should be called upon to
act. Its orders could be carried out
quickly. How long troopa will remain
In Texas depends entirely on develop
ment. The United States Government
haa determined to give President Dlas
every chance to restore order. Mr.
Taft haa determined that his Govern
ment shsll fulfill Its International ob
ligations In stopping the smuggling of
arms and ammunition across the bor
der. The enforcement of the neutral
ity lawa called Tor the presence of
many American troops and was one of
the causes of the recent Army move
ments. Mexico haa made no protest against
tha presence of troopa In Texas. Snrh
a protest would be regarded as undip
lomatic. Inasmuch as the troops are on
American soil and must remain on
American soil until Congress shall
otherwise direct.
The President repeatedly has as
sured the Mexican Ambassador. Mr. De
la Barra. that tha Mexican government
need feel no alarm over the movement
of the troops. He has sent the same
assurance to the City of Mexico.
Valuable Training; to Be Given.
ThersAs every reason to believe that
the troops will remain In Texas at
least four months. Meantime they
will not be Idle. The mobilisation of
the Army will ba taken advantage of to
I et
i
Impart Invaluable training to officers
and men of the regular establishment
and to many offlcera of the state
mllltla organizations.
In a way. the sending of troops to
Texas will give to the Army Instruc
tion and experience similar to that
which came to the Navy as a result of
the cruise of the battleship fleet
around the world.
The President hopes the sending of
the Army to Texas will prove to have
been a peace movement. He told several
callers at the White House that he
ought to be the last person In the
world to be suspected of Jingoism
that nothing was further from his
mind. Political considerations, the
President said, had not entered Into
the operations from any possible angle.
Mr. Taft la fully aware that an at
tack la to be made upon him In Con
gress by some of the Democrats, but
he is said to be prepared to defend his
course from every point of view.

Bfexlco City Disappointed at Ll-
mantoar'a Declaration Change
of Governors Not Enough.
M FIX ICO CITT. March 21. Thlrty
atx hours after the arrival In the capi
tal of Minister Jose Tves Umantour,
the man heralded as the one that would
brlna- neace to Mexico, there was evi
dent tonight no sign of any cessation
of hostilities.
Already the government has shown
a disposition to alter conditions ma
terially. General Llax has announced
that he contemplatea reforms, but for
the moat part they will not be placed
In operation until after the close of
tha revolution. In this classification
comes hla proposed measure for the
subdivision of the great estates.
It la no secret that the grievances oi
the revolutionists extend to the gov
ernors of many states and far below
Lhem to the Jefe politlcos. the rulers ot
small communities in rural districts.
The government has exhibited a dls
nosltlon to make changes In the ranks
of the governors, though not all have
been made because 'of dissatisfaction
with those executives.
A fow changes have taken place be
cause of the illness of old governors.
It Is said, and In the case of Governor
Ahumada the change was made largely
In the hope that he would make a bet
ter executive of Chihuahua because he
held that position many years ago.
Thla ahlftlng of officials Is gratify
ing, say the rebels, but not adequate.
It ta the protection of the franchise
that underlies the motives of the revo
lutionists, according to those In touch
with their campaign. Anything, say
these men. that the government does,
which falls short of providing for gen
eral elections and, first of all. for a
national election, will not be Suffi
cient.
Minister. Llmantour s admonitions to
"rally around General Dlax." and his
warning that every day the revolt
continues would bring nearer foreign
Intervention have not served to create
a more optimistic point of view.
So far as the latter suggestion Is
concerned. It remained for President
Taft to relieve the situation. Less
than a month ago both foreignera and
Mexicans believed Intervention was 1
Imminent and this fceUnj of anxiety 1
