American in tervention in Mexico seemed nearly in evitable today. , Government officials in the closest touch wih the administra tion admitted as much openly. Ooneral Folix Diaz's appeal for American protection could not be disre garded, it was said. Ho owned to Uni ted States Consul Canada at Vera Cruz, that his life was in dnngor and it would have been inhuman to have refused him admission to the consulate. Since he -did not consider himself safe even there, and it was felt he probably had good grounds for fearing that his sanc tuary would not be respected, there was nothing to do but to put him on board one of the American fighting vessels in the harbor.

Makes Escape Over Roofs. Diaz's escape from tho German hotel, where he had been staying, was not even a dignified one. According to the police report made to President Huerta, ho climbed from a scuttle and over the intervening roofs to the consulate. His resignation as a brigadier-general in the Mexican army had previously been accepted by War Miniator Blan quet.
