o Washington, April 14 —President Taft is determined that battles be- tween Mexicun federalists and insur- rectos shall not be fought on Ameri- can seil. He is ally determined | that the lives of American non-com- batants shall not be endangered by the forves of President Diaz and thosc of General Madero. Future combats between the rebels and the forces of the Mexican government must not be fought out so close to the Amerlcan line as to put in jeopardy the lives and property of Americans. Mexican Government Warned, Through the state department, the president notified the Mexican goyern- ment tonight that it must see to it ir the future that no such unfortumate incident as that of vesterday at Agua Prieta, near Douglas, Ariz., when two Americans were killed and eleven twere wounded, be allowed to occur. Similar Warning to Insurrectos. Through the war department and tarough the department of justice the president sent the same sort of warn- ing to the leader of the insurrectos at Agua Prieta. The view was expressed | at the White house tonight that these warnings will be obeyed to the lette and that no more battles will % fought in the vicinity of the boundary, Non-Combatants Must Be Considered. The president knows that battle- grounds are not chosen as places are for athletic contests, but at the same time he takes the position that prep- arations for battle must:.be made hy the hostile forces in Mexico with due consideration of the effect upon non- cormbatant Americans, TAFT WARNS BOTH Demands That Non-Combatant Americans| Along Border Be Given Consideration DOUGLAS APPEALS FOR PROTECTION 20,000 More United States Troops Near the Rio Grande Should They Bé Required—Rebels Resting on Their Arms at Agua Preita—U..S.
