That is on the lips and in the
minds of the statesmen in Washing-
ton. It is the dominant idea of the
outcome of the republican national
convention in Chicago
The news of the sweeping vie to y
in Pennsylvania electrified political
Washington. The Roosevelt men
were in a transport of Joy when the
bulletins showed the emphatic vic-
tory in the Keystone state, while the
Taft men were stunned and dis-
mayed.
Everywhere tho Pennsylvania re-
sult is taken as the collapse of the
effort for Taft's nomination and
among the Roosevelt men, the demo-
crats and the republican politicians
who have not allied themselves with
Taft the belief is that the Chi<ago
convention can have only one out-
come, the nomination by acclamation
of Theodore Roosevelt.
Washington, Apr. 15.—The State
department's note or warning to
.Mexico against the mist real nicut
of Americans, it is believed, has
brought American-Mexican relation^
a critical point.
This deduction Is from past
experience, notably with Cuba. It
Is recalled that just such a warn-
preceeded the Spanlsh-Amerl-
war In the message in which
McKinley referred to the "Intolerable
conditions at our door way." Offi-
cial headquarters, however, con*
tinue their assurances that there
will be no Intervention.
Washington, Apr. 15.—Respond-
ing to an appeal from American
Consular Guadalajara, President
Taft authorized the exportation of
one hundred and fifty rifles and
fifty thousand rounds of ammuni-
tion for arming American citizens
in that district.

Washington, Apr. 15.-—Warning
was issued Sunday by tho United
States to the Mexican government,
as well aa to General Pascual
orozco, chief of the revolutionary
forces that "It expects and must
demand that American life anl
property within the republic o£
Mexico bo juBtly and adequately
protected, and lhal this government
must hold Mexico and the Mexican
people responsible for a]l wanton
or Illegal acts sacrificing or en-
dangering American life or damag.
ing American property or interests.
The attitude of tho United States
as expressed to both the Federal
and rebel authorities Is that any
maltreatment of American citizen^
"will be ederleptneesdy
"will be deeply resented by thq
American government and people,
and must be fully answered for by
the Mexican people.
Acting Secretary Huntington
Wilson, of the state department,
who Sunday Issued special instruc-
tions to Ambassador Henry I.ane
Wilson at Mexico City and Marlon
Letcher, American eonsel at Chi-
huahua, authorized the statement
that Intervention was not contem-
plated by the L'nlted States.
Ambassador Wilson was ordered
to communicate at once the views
of the United States to the Mexi-
can minister for foreign affairs,
and a copy of Ills instructions was
likewise sent lo Marion Letcher,
American consul at Chihuahua with
special representations addressed
to Generad Orozco.
Oroczo recently refused to recog-i
nize Mr. Letcher as tho American
consular representative, because the
United Slates withheld recognition
of the rebel cause. The represen-
tations to Oroczo acuse him of tho
"practical murder" of Thomaa
Fountain, an American gunner, en-
listed with the Federals, but sum-
marily executed last week when
taken prisoner by the lnBiirreetos.
Though declining to Justify par-
ticipation by Americans on cither
side of the revolution, the United
States expressly stipulates that
American combatants, when taken
prisoners, must bo given humane
treatment in accordance with tho
international rtilos of war.
The correspondent made public
Sunday night is admittedly tho
strongest demand tho United States
Is known lo have made upon Mex-
ico for rospcctful treatment, of
Americans as well as other foreig-
ners and declares that a combina-
tion of Illegal acts Is tending "to
difficulties and obligations, which
It is to the Interest or all truo
Mexican patriots, ns It Is the de-
sire of the United States, to avoid.''
