WILSON DENIES Dé;lares United States is Friend pf Mexicans. EXPLAINS THE SITUATION Says Present Trouble Is Between This Government and a Person Call- Ing Himaelf Provisional President of Our Sister Republic. Washington, April 21.—The follow- ing portion of a talk by President Wilson to the Washington correspond- ents on the Mexican situation was au- thorized at the White House: “I want to say to you gentlemen, do not. get the impression that there is about to be war between the United States and Mexico. That is not the outlook at present, at all. “In the first place, in no conceivable circumstances will we fight the peo- ple of Mexico. “We are thelr friends and want to help in every way that we can to re- cover their rights and their govern- ment and their laws, and for the pres- ent I am going to congress to present a special situation and seek their ap- proval to meet that special situation. “It is only an issue between this government and ‘4 person calling him- self the provisional president of Mex- ico, whose right to call himself such we never have recognized in any way. “So that I had a feeling of uneasi- ness as I read the papers as if the country were getting on fire with war enthusiasm. I have no enthusiasm for war; I have an enthusiasm for Justice and for the dignity of the United States, but not for war. And this need not eventuate in war if we handle it with firmness and prompt- ness.” VIEW OF THE LONDON PRESS Monroe Doctrine Blamed for Present Situation. London, April 21.—)exico overshad- owed all other matters in public inter- est here. The Westminister Gazette, leading government organ, in expressing the view that nothing can now avert war, “or if not war what the late William E. Gladstone would have called mili- tary operations,” says: “One cannot pretend to be surprised that this should be the end of the re- fusal of the United States to recog- nize General Huerta. There are a good many other nations which in other circumstances would have tackled the hornet's nest, but this case is one in which the Monroe doc- trine saddles the United States with heavy obligations from which there is no escape.” The Pall Mall Gazette, an opposi- tlon newspaper, says: “‘Our sympathy with the Americans does not blind us to the perils of the course to which they seem about to commit themselves.” ORDERED TO BE PREPARED West Are the Central Ready to Move. Chicago, April 21.—Troops at the United States forts in the Central West are prepared to move instantly should their services be wanted, says Colonel William A. Shunk, command- ing the Central department of the United States army. “T have received general orders to have the entire force ready to move,” said Colonel Shunk. Because of the large number of troops from the Cen- tral department who already have been sent to the international bound- ary line only 1,500 men remain under his command. Of these 750 are at Fort Riley, Kan., and 350 are at Fort Sheridan, 1ll. The others are on re- cruiting duty and other routine work throughout the Central states. Troops In ARE PREPARED TO EMBARK Troops at San Francisco Ready for Any Emergency. San Francisco, April 21.—Three regiments of infantry, forming the Eighth brigade, under the command of Brigadier General John J. Pergh- ing, and the major part of the First cavalry are in readiness at the Pre- sidio for immediate departure for the Mexican border in the event of or- ders belng received from Washing- ton. At Mare Island 600 marines are un- der orders to embark on the cruiser South Dakota. Prisoners Closely Guarded. Fort Bliss, Tex.,, April 21.—Vigil ance over the Mexican prison camp was redoubled on receipt of informa- tlon hinting at the possibility of a plot to free 6,000 former federal sol- diers interned here. A deadline has been marked out insidé the fence, be- yond which the prisoners are not al- lowed to move. Cured of Chronic Constipation “For twenty-one years I suffered with chronic constipation,” says.C. W. Robinson, Cordova, S. C. “In May, 1908, it had assumed a more serious form, resulting in indigestion, piles and neurasthenia. Life seemed a burden to me. Two famous physi- cians and one specialist with all their drastic drugs failed to help me. A friend advised me to give Chamber- lain’s Tablets o trial, which I did, and am pleased to say two bottles of them cured me.” For sale by all deal- ers.—Adv.

Vera Cruz, Mex., April 21.— Commander Charles F.

Ex- tra trains have been arranged for and a general exodus from the city will soon be in progress. . President Huerta is endeavoring to protect foreigners. Minister Portillo’ ¥ Rojas warned Mexicans against ex- cesses in 'a statement published in the local papers. The departure- of Americans was quiet and. orderly. The departure is ufider charge of an American transportation company. Dramatic in the extreme were the scenes which followed the news of President Huerta's refusal to accede to the demands of the United States. Two hundred Americans stayed at the American club until midnight, but others, hearing the turn affairs had taken, left the club and went to pack their belongings for the exodus. It is estimated there are 500 Americans, 200 of them women and children, in the American colony here. At Guada- loupe there are 400 Americans. Rojas Deeply Affected. General Portillo y Rojas is deeply affected at the prospects of war with the Tnited States. “l had great hopes of peace with America,” he said, “but now I have lost all hopes of a settlement. We cannot come to terms with the Unit- ed States.” With that Portillo sank chair. His face was drawn and care- worn, Later the foreign minister re- ceived all of the American newspa- per men and was visibly affected at the parting. In bidding the corre- spondent goodby he said: “I have tried to be as nice to you newspaper boys as I could. I hope we shall all be friends no matter what happens.” He declared it was impossible for Mexico to accede to the demands for a salute, because the flag was not in- sulted. “Mexico has yielded as much as her dignity will permit and trusts to the fair mindedness and justice of the American people,” the foreign min ister said. PRESIDENT’S VIEW OF CRISIS Need Not Necessarily Eventuate in War, * Washington, April . 21.—President] Wilson says the present situation in Mexico need not necessarily eventu- ate in war. The United States on many occasions, he said, had enforced its demands, had blockaded other countries, and had even bombarded and destroyed towns to enforce its demands without ever formally de- claring war. This, the president said, encouraged him in the belief that after he had authorization from con- gress, he would be able to take steps which would drive Huerta from his present defiant position. The president said he did not want the Rewspaper men to get the impres- sion that this country has any wish to fight the real people of Mexico. He said events might cause a sudden change in any program. He said he would make his plans from hour to hour. In effect, the president said- his position was that he wanted full rec- ognition of the dignity and honor of the United States in this instance and sufficient guarantee that incidents of this character will not happen again. The president said that his infor- mation from Mexico City was that the representatives of the foreign gov- ernments there had urged Huerta to vield, and that they were still doing 80. The president said that the army and navy will be held in check to await developments. He said the newspaper men must be careful to get this point of view, insistiig that he has not lost patience. into a Situation Mone Warships Ready to Sail. New York, April-21.—Eight ships of war are lying off the navy yard ready to sail instantly for Mexico should the orders come. They are the bat- tleships Wyoming, Washington, New York and Texas, the blockade run- ner Ozark, the supply ships Newport and Machias and the torpedo boat de- stroyer G-1.

Not Only Case of Kind. ‘‘Unfortunately, it was not an isolat- ed case. A series of incidents have récently occurred which cannot but create the impression that the repre- sentatives of General Huerta were willing to go out of their way to show disregard for the dignity and rights of this government and felt perfectly safe in doing what they pleased, mak- ing free to show in many ways their irritation and contempt. “A few days after the incident at Tampico an orderly from the United rested at Vera Cruz while ashore in uniform. to obtain the ship’s mail, and was for a time thrown in jail. “An official dispatch from this gov- ernment to its embassy at Mexico City was withheld by the authorities of the telegraphic service until per- emptorily demanded by our charge d'affaires in person. So far as I can learn, such wrongs and annoyances have been suffered only to occur egalnst representatives of the United States. I have heard no. complaints from other governments of similar treatment. “The manifest danger of such a sit- uation was that such offenses might grow from bad to worse until some- thing happened of a grave and intol- erable a sort as to lead fointerven- tion.” Asks Approval of Congress. “No doubt 1 could do what is neces- sary in the circumstances to enforce respect for our government without recourse to the congress and yet not exceed my presidential powers as president, but I don't wish to act in a matter, possibly of so grave conse- quence, except in a close conference and co-operation of both the senate and .the house. 7 “I, therefore, come to ask your ap- proval that I should use the armed forces of the United States in such ways and to such an extent as may be necessary to obtain from General Huerta and his adherents the fullest accord and most complete acknowl- edgment of the honor and dignity of the United States in the republic of Mexico. “There can, in what we do, be no thought of aggression or of selfish aggrandizement. We seek to main- tain the dignity and authority of the United States only because we wish always to keep our great influence unimpaired for the use of liberty, both in the United States and wher- ever else it may he employed for the benefit of mankind.” A Kidney Remedy That Has - Thousands Of Friends ® I'belleve Dr. Kilmer & Company of (Binghamton, N.

After trying several remedies for the kidneys and liver trouble, which apparently had taken gn ‘chronic form, 1 was urged to give Dr. Kil- mer’s Swamp-Root a fair trial and wrote for a trial bottle, which was promptly mailed to my address. I was so well pleased with the action of the remedy that I purchased it in five bottle lots and continued taking the remedy until I was fully satis- fied that my kidneys and liver were restored to a healthy condition. Prior to accepting this remedy I was almost daily afflicted with hem- morrhage from the nose which phy- slcfans were unable to check or pre- scribe a remedy for, unquestionably caused by the condition of my kid- neys, my heart at times affected, my stomach ang other organs in sympa- thy, all of which have been complete; 1y restored to a normal condition.
