Secretary Bryan was called upon by ambassadors and ministers of B pean as well as South American coun- tries. Among the ors was the French ambassador Jusserand, who expressed warm sympathw of his co try in the cause of mediation. the exception of the three South ican countries, no power has taken any offfcial action, although the diplomats are doing their further the cause of peace.

Torn asunder by riots and pitched battles between mine guards and striking miners, Governor Ammons found the state militia unable to cope with the situation, and asked for help. The Colorado delegation in congress, the mine owners and the miners themselves Jjoined in the re- quest. It was one of the rare occurrences in American history when a state found itself impotent to assert its au- thority, but the president, in a tele- gram to the Colorado governor, ex- pressly stipulated that the federal troops would confine themselves to mainiaining order only “until the state can reassert its authority and resume the enforcement thereof.” The president issued a proclamation ordering all persons engaged in do- mestic_violence to disperse and ‘“retire peaceably to their abodes” before April 30th. Secretary Garrison, after a conference with the president, ordered three trcops of the Fifth cavalry from Fort Leavenworth and two iroops of the Twelfth cavalry from Fort A. D. Russell, Wyoming, to Trinidad and Canon City, respectively. Colorado ‘members of congress, who have been following the situation closely, say the mere presence of fed- eral troops will restore normal condi- tions and prevent rioting. Efforts of the federal government to settle the strike thus far have failed. On this point the president made it clear that federal troops were being sent mere- ly to preserve order and not to inter- fere in the strike controversy itself. “I shall not by the use of the troops,” wired the president to Gov- ernor Ammons today, “or by any at- tempt at jurisdiction, inject the power of the federal government into the controversy which has produced the present situation. The settlement of that_controve falls_strictly within the field of state power.” The president asked that the militia be temporarily withdrawn untii the legislature, which is to meet next Monday, considers the situation and arranges for it to resume its police duties in the state. Thne situation in Colorado occupicd the president and his cabinet at a long meeting, after which the president’s telegram to Governor Ammons and the formal proclamation calling on mal- contents to disperse were made pubiic.
