The Virginia, Nebraska and Vermont, destined for Vera Cruz and Tampico in the north, are not fur behind the Georgia. Immediately upon the arrival of the Georgia the question of the propriety or necensity of landing a party of marines and bluejackets will be squarely up be- fore Anbasador Henry Lane Wilson in Mexico City.

They informed the crowd around | their carriage that President Taft had cabled the British Minister that American troops were coming and he deemed intervention inevitable. At the White House it was stated that President Taft had sent no communicaion to the British Minister in Mexico, and that the position of the United States as to intervention was un= changed. Diaz regarded the report of the resignation as a trick and kept up the bombardment all night, resuming it to-day. Reports from various towns outside the capital are that troops have revolted, killed their officers and declared for Diaz. Cuba has asked permission to send a force from Vera Crua to Mexico City. This may forecast the course of our Government, The United States battleship Georgia reaches Vera Cruz to- day and may land marines to protect the consulate, MEXICO CITY, Feb. 15.—President Francisco |, Madero, practh cally deposed by the action of the Mexican Senate in demanding his resigs nation as Chief Executive, cannot be found to be notified of the Senate’s Jaction. The committee of the Senate delegated to make the perilous journey through the shell swept zone to the National Palace and there inform Madero of that body’s resolve could not find the President at the Na tional Palace, nor did any of his ministers at the palace know where he was. ‘The chairman of the Senate delegation rose in his carriage and, ade dressing a crowd of soldiers and non-combatants, declared that the civil war must come speedily to an end. President Taft, he said, had cabled the British Minister that American troops were coming to the capital and that he (the Presidemt) considered intervention inevitable, The chairman and other members of the delegaton shouted thaf Madero had been defeated and should resign at once. Each hour of delay in the settlement of this ghastty business of de- struction, now in the sixth day, brings new perils. A large force of Zapatistas, the guerillas and bandits from the mountains of Morelos and Puebla, is now encamped within sight of the towers of the city, Under the leadership of Genevevo de la O, the Zapatistas drew themselves up in battle formation south of the city this morning and sent word to Felix Diaz that they were ready to help him. Diaz sent out a number of officers to-day to assist in drilling the re- cruits under De la O, He ordered them to maintain their positions, as jhe did not want any more men inside his lines than he could conveniently | (eed, and he did not regard reinforcements as essential, PRESSURE BROUGHT BY SENATE, The special session of the Senate was called as the result of a leiter {trom Pedro Lascurain, the Foreign Minister, to the First Vice-President {nsient ag that the members of the Upper House should assemblé*to dis» | cuss the means of settling the difficulties of Mexico and, above all, to take action in the present situation.
