Wilson and Solicitor McCabe and em
bracing charges of suppressed reports
and influence of land speculators over
governm ent officials, is to be in stitu t

Troubles relatin g to exploitation of
Florida everglade lands, millions of
acres of which have been sold
throughout the country by syndicates,
started before the house com mittee as
a result of the summary dismissal
from government service by Secretary
Wilson of C. G. Elliott, chief engineer
of the drainage division of the dep art
ment, and A. D. Morehouse, assistant
engineer, and the suspension of F. E.
Singleton, an accountant, on a techni
cal charge of transference of public
landa.
R epresentatives Clark, of Florida,
and Bathrick, of Ohio, who have in
stigated the investigation, charged
th a t officials of the departm ent of
agriculture had been influenced by
Florida everglade land promoters in
the suppression of a report on the con

age d epartm en t; th a t Chief Engineer
E lliott was threatened by agents of
the land prom oters unless he would re

th a t upon his refusal the circular and
a subsequent fu ller report w ere sup

and Morehouse were removed from
office.
Solicitor McCabe, before th e house

caused by the Florida land case and
asserted th a t the action was taken
following charges th a t the dismissed
men had m isapplied funds.
W ashington, D. C. — D iplomatic
com plications have arisen between the
sta te of Texas and the U nited S tates
governm ent, on one hand, and the
Mexican governm ent on the other,
which tem porarily, a t least, will not
allow Mexico to move any troops over
A m erican te rrito ry in connection with
her revolutionary disturbances.
S ecretary of S tate Knox made fu r
th er inquiry from Mexico through the
A m erican embassy a t Mexico City
asking the specific purpose of the m il

is sought to travel tfrom E agle Pass,
Texas, to El Paso, Texas, in order
th a t points in N orthern Mexico, to
which the rebels have cut international

FEAR INTERVENTION
Strong Anti-American Message Is
sued By Governor.
Call
to Arms Is Sounded— Rebel
Bands Active— Forces Closing
In On Juarez,
El Paso, Tex. — Mexico is to be
crushed under the m ilitary force of
the U nited S tates and is to lose its
identity as a world power. This is
the message of A cting Governor Au-
relance Gonzales to th e people of Mex
ico and his n ative sta te of Chihuahua.
The message was telegraphed to all
the Je fe politicos o f the state, and
created a sensation among the Mex
ican and American population of the
state.
The m obilation o f the American
irm y means the invasion of Mexico,
Governor Gonzales says in his fire
brand message.
“ The hand of the oppressor is press
ing hard upon your b ro w ,” he contin
ued, “ and will brand all tru e Mexi
cans as slaves unless they resist the
foreign power. The attitu d e of the
U nited S tates tow ard Mexico is one of
a lordly m aster tow ard an abject
slave.
“ The manhood of Mexico demands
its resistance by all possible means.
Mexico has lost, or is losing, its iden
tity as a nation am ong nations. The
Americans are attem p tin g to control
the business affairs, the politics and
the economics of Mexico. Unless re
sistance is shown a t once, Mexico will
be b ut a dependency of the U nited
S ta te s .”
The proclamation am ounts to a call
to arm s to resist an A m erican invas
ion of Mexico and has caused con
stern atio n here as well as across the
border.
Colonel Antonio Rojas, at the head
of 500 men, now is on his way tow ard
Ju arez to attack the city, acording to
a report received in Ju arez from San
Antonio, w est of Chihuahua. In view
of th e report th a t R ojas would demand
the surrender of Chihuahua in five
days, the report is not generally cred
ited.
Braulio Hernandez, w ith a force of
300 rebels, is reported operating south
of Chihuahua, along th e line of the
Mexican Central, which has abandoned
tem porarily its efforts to m ake repairs
betw een Chihuahua and Torreon.

W ashington, D. C.— P resident T a ft
and his cabinet have turned a scru tin
izing eye toward Mexico.
Officials
before the president seriously ques
tioned the loyalty of General Pascual
Orozco to the Mexican federal govern
m ent and intim ated th a t the present
conditions in the sta te of Chihuahua,
bordering on Texas, m ight develop in
to a movement of secession, estab lish
ing an independent republic in the
N orth.
The president and his official fam ily
discussed precautionary measures, and
the W ar departm ent [then sent addi
tional orders to arm y posts throughout
the country to be ready for a possible
m obilization.
The departm ent of justice has in
structed its agents to exercise all pos
sible vigilance in enforcing n eu trality ,
w hile the S tate departm ent has asked
for quick reports from consular agents
o f any danger in the in terio r to A m er
icans or th eir interests.
A fte r the cabinet m eeting, the pres
ident professed not to be alarm ed by
th e situation.
It was adm itted in
o ffc'al circles th a t the separation of
C hihuahua from the rest of Mexico
would create a situation different, in
m any respects, from those th a t e x ist
ed during the la st rebellion.
