MORE VICTORIES CLAIMED
ProTislonal President Continues to
Superintend Construction of
Dwelling Just as If Noth
ing Had Happened.
MEXICO CITY. Mex.. Aug. 57. It was
not until night that any great number
of the Mexican people were aware of
the character of president Wilson's
message.
In no quarter did the message arouse
great excitement, as the agent of the
Government, as well as the press dis
patches had forewarned General Huerta
and his official family as to what to
expect.
General Huerta had gone to Popopola,
a suburb, where he Is superintending
the erection of a dwelling. President
Wilson's announcement of his policy
apparently had not been of sufficient
importance to cause the provisional
president to forego what has been
almost a daily habit.
For days rumors have been current
that General Huerta would resign, or
that he would at least accede to enough
of Washington's demands to lead to a
continuation of the negotiations.
A cabinet minister said today that
General Huerta waa determined not to
quit office and appears to believe that
the pacification of the country could
yet be accomplished by him. As a proof
of the progress already mad In this
direction, the Department of War refers
to the reports of Federal victories In
various parts of the republic and char
acterizes the stories of rebel successes
as falsehoods.
The minister of finance professes
faith In the happy outcome of the
negotiations with London or European
bankers in an endeavor to obtain $20.-'
000,000. but It la said generally that
even should this loan fail there re
mains as a last resort the possibility
of raising money in Mexico through
increased taxes paid in advance. This
plan has been seriously dicussed.
In any case, the Mexican government
believes It can get money in some man.
ner to carry Its campaign to a conclu
sion and Is Inclined to regard President
Wilson's policy In a light not altogether
unfavorable, since it will result In the
cutting off of supplies to the rebels a
thing upon which the Mexican govern
ment has always Insisted the United
States has been lax.
So far as the protection of foreigners
is concerned, Mexico takes the stand
that she will do all in her power to
guarantee this. This refusal of the
United States to permit arms and am
munition to reach the Mexican govern
ment through American sources will
not be such a serious handicap to Gen
eral Huerta. as he has already begun
the purchase of supplies from Japan
and has long been receiving consign
ments from Germany and Spain.
The Mexican government Is silent on
the message. The Minister of Foreign
Affairs. Frederlco Gamboa. was ad
vised by private message of the deliv
ery and contents of the message. He
said tonight that the officials of the
Mexican government had no comment
to make.
"We are authorizing." the Minister
said, "the publication of the original
notes exchanged, which, I understand,
are contained in President Wilson's
message, and the publication of two
supplementary notes, the latest of
which was sent to Mr. Lind at Vera
Cruz last night."
BRITOXS SAY CRISIS REACHED
I,onlon Papers ui' Sanguine of
Wisdom of Wilson Policy.
LONDON. Aug. 28. The London
morning papers, commenting on Presi
dent Wilson's message, are not alto
gether sanguine of the wisdom or suc
cess of President Wilson's policy, but
are agreed that It is almost certain to
lead to American Intervention, there
fore Indicating that a grave crisis has
been Teached.
The Morning Post says:
"President Wilson will have his
hands full if he gets himself up as the
ensor of morals for the Presidents of
Latin America, and if the United States
accepts the duty of supporting the duly
elected President, Mexico would be
come In fact, if not in name, an Amer
ican protectorate."
The Kxpresa says:
"President Wilson is not the man to
bluff on such a question. From his
stem and explicit message It is clear
that Mexico must climb down or light.
If the former, she admits American
suzerainty: If the latter, she may lose
her Independence altogether. Great
Britain has large interests and much
to lose by war, but It is difficult to un
derstand how British sympathy could
be otherwise bestowed than on the
United States."
The Daily News says that if only the
European powers do not stiffen Huer
ta's back. President Wilson's policy
will prove as judicious as It is pru
dent. The Dally Mail, in Ironical vein, de
clares that what the Washington Gov
ernment most needs is a policy and
asks whether President Wilson sup
poses that if the American citizens in
Mexico managing public utilities rep
resenting tiO.000.000 can put the rail
ways and tramways In their pockets
when they leave or whether they are
to leave them behind. It says that
the message should be quite popular in
Mexico.
The Times asks why the Washing
ton Government fails to take the sim
ple and effective course, following the
European example vt recognizing Pres
ident Huerta.
"It is difficult to resist the suspicion
that In emphasizing the personal ob
jections to President Huerta the Ad
ministration Government is Jeopardis
ing its best chance of assisting the
country of which he is the effective
ruler."
States troops on the border already
have been warned to exercise In
creased vigilance. Whether more
troops will be sent to the border is a
question to be determined within the
next few days. Major-General Wood,
chief of staff of the Army, who has
been inspecting the U-oops in Texas,
already Is on his wayVto Washington.
The President's urgent request to
Americans In Mexico to leave the
country emphasized to Congress the
necessity for action upon the recent
request of Secretary Bryan for an ap
propriation of $100,000 with which to
aid citizens of the United States in
their exodus from the scene of conflict-
Such an appropriation is in
duced In a deficiency bill now In the
hands of the House appropriations
committee and It Is expected that ac
tion on it will be hastened. The 8tate
Department estimates that there are
now in Mexico no more than IS. 000
A n -.. .-;. I h.TH Wfr 11 AAA

Is estimated that there are fewer than

The diplomatic relations between the
two countries, it Is understood, will re
main as they are at present, each ccfun
try maintaining a embassy without
official recognition, presided over by a
charge d'affaires. Though the Presi
dent told Congress that everything this
Nation did In the situation confronting
it must be "rooted In patience and done
with calm, disinterested dellberatyn,"
he had no word of rebuke for Mexico
and reached the determination to main
tain strict neutrality after having pre
sented the whole situation to the mem
bers of the foreign relations commit
tee in Congress. Not an essential de
tail did the President withhold in his
presentation of the case for the public,
publishing also to the world the reply
of the Mexican government to Mr. Lind.
Everything that Mexico has said to
this Government in response to the
proposals was made public. Including
the Huerta alternative that nothing
could be welcomed except unrestricted
recognition of his government-
After he had concluded his message
and listened to the applause which
greeted it, the President returned to
the White House to await its effect
He believed that It would be beneficial.

He also voiced an urgent appeal for
all Americans to leave Mexico and for
the United States to aid them In every
possible way. but in emphatic language
served notice on those who assume to
exercise authority In the revolution
torn country that they would be held to
a definite reckoning for losses and.
suffering of American citizens.
The message of the President was
received with enthusiastic applause by
members of the House and Senate,

chamber, and tonight the machinery of
the Government Is In motion for mak

XEW PAPER . MAY BE ESTAB
LISHED IN SAX KRAXCISCO.
Many Developments Expected in
California Journalistic Field
Within Next Week.
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 27. (Spe.
claL) Commencing September 1. San
Francisco Is to have a new evening
paper. While to date there has been
no official anouncement, it is thought
that In place of the Morning Call,
which was bought by M. H. de Young,
of the Chronicle, an evening paper
will be established.
It has already been made known
that the new paper will have the
Hearst news service and some of the
Hearst features. While there has been
a general denial that William Randolph
Hearst is the owner, that seems to be
the accepted idea.
There Is a story going the rounds
that some of the men on the Examiner
are to be transferred to the new paper,
all of which indicates a kindly feeling
on the part of Hearst. It is reported
that those men who are now on the
Call will be provided with positions.
The Bulletin has been publishing
stories to the effect that the sale of
the Call to the Chronicle was nothing
more than a blind end that W. R,
Hearst was really the purchaser. Mr.
M. H. de Young has officially denied
the story and declares that he pur
chased the Call and will retain the
circulation.
If the new paper is a Hearst crea
tion, as seems likely, fur will fly In
the evening division of the game.
There are already three evening papers,
the Bulletin, the Post and the News,
the latter a 1-cent Scrlpps publication.
From an outside standpoint, it doesn't
look as if there Is room for four after
noon papers and one or the other will
likely be discontinued.
Another rumor is to the effect that
Rudolph Spreckels and Crouthers. of
the Bulletin, may retaliate by starting
a new morning paper, but since such
a paper could not secure a morning
Associated Press franchise, the chances
are that they could not go far in
their endeavors.
