Washlhaton. July 2S. Whlla ad
ministration officials here bellava that
the crisis will not be reached In Mex
ico until the northern rebel armlea
press cloeer to Mexico City and the
federal ttrongholds. Indication to
night were that an effort would be
nwde by the Washington government
to pursue o well defined policy before
events reached a critical stage.
The flrat tep In the formulation of
a policy wjll he taken tomorrow when
Ambaaaador Henry Lane Wilson wUl
bring to the president and Secretary
Bryan first-hand Information ot tne
situation there. Mr. Bryan announced
tonight emphatically that there was
no disposition on the part of the ad-
ministration hire to interrogate Am
bassador Wilson about the numerous
rmorts alleging activity on his part
in connection with the downfall of
Mntloro and the establishment of the
Ilueita rcgirce. He added that the
' ambassador had been called merely
to throw light on present conditions
In the troublous republic.
Before Senate Committee.
After Ambassador Wilson has con.
tan-red with Secretary Bryan he will
talk further with President Wilson
and probably will be asked to appear
before the senate committee on for-
eign relations.
That Ambaaaador Wilson had ex-
pressed on his arrival in New York
opposition to tne proposals for media-
tion and had Indicated his sympathies
with the desire of the Huerta govern-
ment to be recogniaed were communi-
cated Informally to Mr. Bryan who
made no comment.
Bryan Before Committee.
Immediately after his conference
with the ambassador. Mr. Bryan Is
scheduled to appear before the senate
contnilttee on foreign relations further
to in. sent the administrations plan
for a protectorate over Nicaragua but
on the same occasion It Is expected
that Kb will be asked to outline the
developments toward a Mexican pol-
icy. Members of the committee as
well as the senate generally are well
inclined toward some executive ac-
tion by which all factions In the Mexi-
can dispute can get arms from the
United States.
It was apparent tonight that the
present policy of the administration
was to prevent all shipments of arms
to either side pending a final deter-
mination on this point.
United States Seeks Nothing.
It Is believed that after the presl.
dent and Secretary Bryan have ob-
tained from Ambassador Wilson his
own ideas and Interpretations of the
political situation In the Mexican cap-
ital the American government' In a
measure wlil reiterate views expressed
in the Laitln-American statement
made by President Wilson shortly aft-
er bis Inauguration in which he pro-
claimed that the United States had
nothing to 'seek in Latin-America but
the welfare of its sister republics.
With this in mind the recent sugges-
tfon of an American offer of media-
tion may be followed as evldenoe of
the good Intentions of the Washington
government. Information from fed-
eral as well as Constitutionalist
sources today however was to the ef-
fect that neither side would consider
mediation by a foreign government.
The national pride of the Mexicans It
was pointed out would not allow In-
terference In internal polities.
WUl Lay Down the Bars.
If It develops that the overtures of
the United States toward peace were
not favorably received. It Is expected
ttuu the Washington government will
thereupon pronounce Itself on the
question of arms and ammunition. In
all probability lifting the embargo so
that all sides can buy munitions' of
war. Such a development. It la be-
lieved. In many quarters here would
so strengthen the Constitutionalist
cause so aa to bring matters to a cri-
sta speedily and possibly a quick over-
throw of the Huerta govern moat a
contingency which many Washington
officials believe Is Inevitable although
reports of a strengthening of the fed-
eral armies are being advanced con-
stantly by officials of the Huerta ad-
ministration. THOU. HIND NOT PRISONER

for a half-day
to-Washington trip In response to -a
summons from President Wilson
Henry Lane Wilson American am-
bassador to Mexico announced his
emphatic opposition to several plans
under consideration by the state de-
partment for bringing about peace In
the troubled Mexican republic.
Supplementing statements he made
earlier in the day disapproving the
suggestions of American mediation or
the appointment of a tripartite com-
mission. Mr. Wilson gave his reasons
tonight why he considered the plan
for a tripartite commission not a
feasible one.
Abstndon Monroe Doctrine.
"If we are to consider such a plan
we may as well abandon the Mon-
roe doctrine entirely" he said.
"The Monroe doctrine pledges" ths
United Slates to take care of the In-
terests of American governments
without the aid of any foreign coun-
try. Consequently In the Monroe
dootrlne we cannot attempt to settle
Mexico's affairs through the services
of such a body as the proposed tri-
partite commission since It Involves
calling In outside governments to
help."
Retiiient on Policy.
Mr. Wilson was reticent when
questioned as to his policies on Amer-
ican Intervention and recognition of
Mexico by the United States. These
views he said must be reserved for
his conference with President Wil-
son and Stcretary Bryan.
"I have been blamed for a great
deal" the ambassador commented as
he dlscpased his administration In
Mexico City.
American Recognition.
The ambaaaador' silence regard-
ing his Opinion as to American rec-
ognition was .broken tonight long
enough for him to comment on one of
his acts just subsequent to the over-
throw of Madero. Mr. Wilson recall-
ed that this act was Interpreted In
many quarters as virtual recognition
notwithstanding the refusal of his
government at Washington to admit
the republic on a .dlplomatlo-efootlng
common with other governments.
in February when Huerta became
provisional president the ambassador
Instructed American consuls In Mex-
ico "In the Interests of Mexico to
urge general submission and adhesion
to the government which will be rec-
ognised by all foreign governments
today."
Wrong Construction.
Mr. Wilson said a wrong construc-
tion would he placed upon this ad-
vice to consular officers by any per-
son who belioved it meant that he
recognized the Huerta government or
that he desired to conflict In any way
with the policies of either Mr. Taft
as president or President Wilson.
Believes He Was Right
"It was the defacto government
only that I recognised." Mr. Wilson
explained. "The defacto government
that possessed the power to offer
protection for American lives and
property and for the lives and prop-
erty of other foreigners. I acted as
any ambassador had the right to act
in the Interests of my countrymen.
The government I recognised was
the only existing one of law and order.
I believe that I did right at that
critical time."

Be The lasodeled Prte
Calumet. Mich.. July 15 Reports
that Oovernor W. N. Ferris would
coma to Hnughfon tonight to help ar-
range a settlement of tbe strike of
11000 copper mine employes In the
northern peninsula which brought
out an unofficial statement tonight
from the mine managers that they
would welcome the. governor's pres-
ence. Any plans for arbitration under tha
direction of the governor were soon
dispelled however by the announce-
ment that Oovernor Ferris had no
present Intention of coming to the
copper country or of withdrawing ths
militia which la protecting the mines
against any further outbreak of tha
strikers.
The following telegram waa lent to
the governor In Lairing this after-
noon by C E. Ma honey vice president
of the Western Federation of Mineral
Want the Oovernor.
"We respectfully request that yort
come here and Investigate the Indus-
trial dispute in the copper mining dis-
trict and use your good offices to ef-
fect a settlement and to direct that tha
troops be used to preserve peace In-
stead of to operate thA mines as
seems to be the present Intent."
I The company managers stated un-
officially that they too would wel-
come the governor but would give no
Intimation that proposals to arbitrate
the strike would be accepted bv them.
They said this would be construed by
the strikers as a tacit recognition of
the union.

Disorders occurred spasmodically
In the outlying districts of the milling
country today but In no rase did the
union men manifest the uplrlt which
appeared In the attack on the Calumet
and 1 1 i.i properties yesterday.
. A call Tor :roops came from tha
south range when union sympathisers
drove away the sheriffs deputies at
the Baltic Trl Mountain and other
mines but an Investigation by militia
commanders' convinced thorn that the
situation was not serious enough to
require the presence of state soldiers.
Calumet Storm Center.
It wits .ili.- consensus of opinion
among the ..in .i of the three com-
panlcs already here that the storm
center would remain In and about
Calumet. Accordingly company elec.
trlclans strung wires till about tho
Calumet and Hecla shafts and shops
with sixty candle power lamps de-
pending therefrom every six feet.
Tho militia commanders were con-
vinced that Illumination would pre-
vent any possibility of "planting" ex-
plosives about tha buildings at night.
After a lengthy conference union
officials Issued a statement outlining
the position of the miners. The state-
ment opened with the declaration that
"when tabor ts driven to the weapon
of last resort the strike It is but
j fair to the community to give the rea
sons for that action."
Reason for Strike.
The statement declared that than
strike waa not called until all peaed
able means had failed. The states
ment declares the only answer from
the operators was to the effect that
the companies had never treated with
the Western Federation of Miners and
did not fsel It necessary to do so now.
The statement urges that the laborer's
rights on oWlgemhlp gives him a voloe
In hla government his employment
should give him a voire as to hours
wugea and labor conditions that la
what Is meant by "recognition of the
union" and that to offer to treat with
Individual and refuse to treat with a
commute representing the employes)
Is a mock of fair dealings.
"The eight hous day has obtained
for years throughout the metal nils- .
Ing Induatry of the West" says tha
statement "The claim cannot ha
made that It would subject tha . oni-
panics to unfair competition. The
wages of the underground worker
throughout the copper mines of tha
country ex-ept Michigan average 13. 5
per day It would lake several In
creases to reach that figure here.
Right to organise.
"We submit tu all fair-minded clil-
xena that the employes of any com-
pany hve the right to organise and
negotiate through their . hoaru repre-
sentatives with their employers for a
redress of grievances .and that such
a method of procedure makes for the
general welfare and Industrial peaco
of a community."
A canvBas'of ths mining SJagftei in.'
night brought the Invariable response
"all quiet." No crowds wsrs reported
from any of the locatlona. despite ru -mors
that attacks were Impending
against various electric light power
and water plants Union officials were
particularly Insistent that operations
of such coaoarns would not be ham-
pered and the rains operators also said
that they expected no trouble from
that source.
