CABINET ADMITS DANGER (Continued From First Pass.) part of Juares and that their losses were small. He said the Imprudence of volunteers precipitated the battle .-hih had been raging in Juarez.

These instructions have been sent by General Wood, chief of staff of the Army, to Colonel Steever, commanding tho American trooDS at El Paso.

STONE rRGES INTERVENTION He Accuses Taft of Bluffing Bacon Denies Mexico Offends. wisurvnTOX. Mav . The danrer to American lives on tbe border as a result of tbe revolution in Mexico was the subject of sharp controversy In the Senate today. The killing of several citizens In El Paso as the result of yes terday's battle In Juarez was the Im mediate provocation. Stone again urged the use of United States troops to protect Americans and. changing his attitude towards the President's course, charged him with playing a game of bluff In sending the Army to the front. Bacon of Georgia. Works of Califor nia and others replied, commending' the attitude of the President. Declaring that apparently this Gov ernment intends not to lift a hand for the protection of American citizens In their own homes. Stone expressed ap prehension lest the bullets of yesterday be followed today by shrapnel and can nlster. He said he had not proposed an invasion of Mexico with the object of remaining there, but merely to dis patch-a force across the line sufficient to accomplish the end in view and then retire. The Missouri Senator declared that the President was allowing himself to be bound by red tape. In previously indorsing the dispatch of troops to the border he had supposed the President's step was taken In the Interest of Amer ican citizens, hut that it was a mere "game of bluff." The President, he thought, must have had a more serious purpose in mind at the start, but man ifestly a change had come over the spirit of his dream. Bacon responded that Stones pro posed course would plunge this country Into immediate war; that the Mexican government has a right to assert its authority, even if by doing so it should endanger the lives of persons on this side of the international line. He said If the situation were reversed and El Pas 3 were in the hands of a mob, the United States Government would have the right to juell the dis turbance, regardless of conditions In Mexico. The United States could not well send troops into Mexico without taking one side or the other of the pending conflict and Bacon contended that In any event the adoption of Stone's reso lution would be a declaration ot war. Taking up Bacon's contention. Stone drew the inference that fear of war deters the United States from proper steps for the protection of its own peo ple. He admitted there naa Deen no Intentional sacrifice of American lives as the result of the Mexican battles, but said the killing of American citi zens had been equivalent to deliberate intention. Chamberlain suggested that both the President and Stone had forgotten that the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo cov ered Just such a situation as has arisen. Without acting, the Senate adjournea until Thursday. House Orders Inquiry Into Postal Department. SUGAR TRUST UNDER PROBE Political Influence In Hitchcock's Appointments to Be Sought.
