that any future declaration to the
foreign power woiiM be alone the
line of the Latin-American statement

that hi administration would seek to

American countries the principle of

the Information that the government
officials were taken unaware by the

situation shortly under advices that
the three northernmost Mexican
state of Sonora Chihuahua and Coa-
hulla were ready to secede from the
national government and would ask
the United Statea for permlbolon to
become part of the American union.
It wa stated that In the event
that the three states took this action
the American government would be
. bound to give serious consideration
to such request as might be made for
the annexation of the states and that
If It appeared that the secession and
desire to come Into the American sis-
terhnod was In good faith the result
Mould probably be wel tuned and the
armed intervention necessary tn pro-

by the United Statea army.
It waa the plan according to to-
day's reports for the seccedlng state
to act la September when the Ameri-
can government expected to he ready
to meet whatever situation tha action
of the Mexican statea might demand
by Intervention or other action.
The situation has assumed even
