'FUTURE ACTION OF U. S.
DEPENDS ON MEXICANS
munitions of war Into Mexico will
have on the attitude of the Constitu-
tionalists was one of the chief ques-
[tions which confronted the Washing-
ton administration today. It was be-
lieved Uiat upon the attitude of the
Constitutionalist leader. General Car-
ranza to a great extent hinged the
extent of American military opera-
tions in Mexico. In the meantime of-
ficials also were apparently without
any definite information regarding
the plan of General Huerta al-
though there were rumors as to in-
tentions of General Maas the Fed-
eral commander who evacuated
Vera Cruz to attack that city.
One of the encouraging features of
the situation was the apparent
friendliness manifested toward the
United States by General Villa mili-
tary leader of the Constitutionalists
in an interview with American Con-
sul Carothers at Juarez and it was
believed that hls attitude might have
considerable Influence on General
Carranza.
Considerable uneasiness continues
to be felt here over rumors of antf-
American demonstrations in Mexico
City where there are still many
United States citizens and over more
definite reports of similar troubles at
Ensenada on the west coast of Mex-
ico where it was reported last night
that the American consulate had
been attacked. Steps were imme-
diately taken to afford relief in the
latter case by the dispatch of a gun-
boat from San Diego. Its arrival at
Ensenada was hourly expected.
Congress May Act.
f. s. u.
SHOES
Tenseness of the general situation
was heightened by the outward evi-
dences sen in the severing of all
formal connections between the two
countries by the almost simultaneous
departure from Washington of Mexi-
can Charge Algara and from Mexico
City of Charge O’Shaughnessy. Con-
siderable significance is seen in the
selection of Brazil to look after
American interests In Mexico in the
absence of American representatives.
Where Braz.il Is not represented
American interests will be cared for
by France.
Scenes o factivity were in evi-
dence today at the various depart-
ments of the government immediate-
ly Concerned with the Mexican situ-
ation. In the meantime members
of congress are giving the closest
attention to developments and it is
considered not Improbable that ac-
tion bearing upon the situation may
be taken by Congress.
War Department Busy.
The war department bustled with;
activity today following the first
actual movement of the army In the
Mexican crisis the departure of the
Fifth brigade of the First division
from Galveston by transport for
Vera Cruz. Major General Wood
designated to take command of the
troops of the field was in charge
of the movement and he received
reports early stating that the bri-
gade had been shipped and would
leave later in the day.
Meantime the department was
busied with conditions on the Texas
border. Despite the friendly* atti-
tude assumed by General Villa in
his statement yesterday citizens of[
the towns along the border were |
apprehensive and the department re-1
ceived several applications for ad-1
' dltlonal border guards. General ।
| Wood and his aides scanned all In-
formation as to the concentration 1
of Constitutionalist forces In the
neighborhood of Juarez where Villa'
I is located.
Orders to hold up all shipments of
arms across the Mexican border were
sent today by the treasury department
to all collectors of customs. The or-
ders are in co-operation with the
war department’s efforts to enforce]
the embargo. Collectors were noti-
fied to hold all shipments of arms
•'until further notice.’*
The embargo In force against!
arms and ammunition all along the!
Mexican border was a military
measure taken by the war depart-
ment. It was declared a part
of the operations of the army and
navy and no action by the state de-
partment was involved. By this
means the technical re-establishment
of the legal embargo which it was
thought might have embarrassed the
administration in its attitude toward
the <'onstitutionalists In northern
Mexico was avoided. The embargo
will be enforced by the entire mili-
tary organization on the border and
under military orders to customs
authorities.
Status of the Militia.
Proceedings were begun in the su-
premo court today to determine
| whether the National Guard may be
l sent to Mexico or other territory out-
t side the United States without first
: being mustered in as volunteers. The
I proceedings are in the nature of an
। appeal from the action of Judge Day
in the Federal court In northern
Ohio in dismissing an action of
Lieutenant Colonel Daniel T. Stearns
against Adjutant General H. Wood
of the Ohio National Guard grow-
ing out of preparations for militia
movements outside the country. I
The quartermaster corps "f the |
army overnight completed arrange-
ments whereby the passenger steam-
I er San Marcos nf the Mallory Line

1 Steamship Company are now at the
disposal of General Funston at Gal-

cannot be placed on the four govern-
ment transports already at Galves-
ton will be put aboard the Satilla

| transportation for the remaining
troops. y
(Continued from Page One.)
Must Charter Vessels.
The war department announced
today that it would be unable to
move the entire brigade ordered
from Galveston to Vera Cruz in avail-
able armj transports. The depart-
ment said that it would be necessary
to charter merchant vessels for the
movement of the troops; that the de-
partment wag not in a position to
complete arrangements for such
ships and that further authorization
and further funds were needed
through congressional action.
\ < r« crux Campaign.
Officials of the navy and war de-
partments busied themselves with
plans for further operations in rhe
। neighborhood of Vera Cruz. With the
i Fifth brigade under General Funston
at the Mexican seaport there will
। be concentrated a force sufficient to
hold the city or to begin offensive
operations. General Mans the Huerta
I commander who left Vera Cruz was
' reported as concentrating all his
available forces at Soledad 36 miles
away on the railroad line to Mexico
I City. Reports from Admiral Badger
however raid the forces now In Vera
Cruz should be able to withstand
any attack.
Meantime no plans for any move-
ment in the northern Imrder wore
perfected. It generally was under-
stood that no offensive operations

OBSERVATIONS OF
CITY TIME KEEPER
MB. J. T. JONES REFERS TO TEN
YEARS OF HIS LIFE AND TO
“PLANT JUICE.”
Mr. J. T. Jones is one of San An-
tonio’s city timekeepers and his home
is at 814 North street. He says:
"Sick headaches —for ten years I
have had them and have had a con-
stant stomach trouble. I have not felt
hearty and strong in all that timfe
until after taking 'Plant Juice.’ Had
I known of it ten years ago think of
the suffering I could have escaped. I
have always thought there was some-
thing that would help me. but was
never able to find it until I came to
’Plant Juice.’ They say it is purely
vegetable. I don't care what it is it
is the greatest remedy ever put un-
der a cork stopper.”
“Plant Juice" is purely vegetable
and it is also the greatest curative
corrective and tonic of the age for
all disorders of stomach liver kid-
neys and blood. It is the juices of
fresh pure herbs gathered from
many climes. It speedily relieves in-
digestion corrects all disorders of the
stomach clears the liver renovates
the blood and makes you come out
feeling clean within and filled with
new energy life and vigor. If you
ere run down do not despair until
you have tried “Plant Juicfe." For

tory controlled by the Constitutional-
ists at this time.
War Fund Discussed.
The possibility of requests of sup-
port from Congress for carrying on
further operations by the president
Increased today. The war depart-
ment considered the need for volun-
teers and estimated the funds that
would be needed for mobilizing the
militia.
At the navy department Repre-
sentative Padgett of Tennessee
chairman of the House naval affairs
committee was called into confer-
ence with Secretary Daniels. The
naval appropriation bill carrying
$142000000 pnd providing for build-
ing of two new battleships now is
under consideration in the House.
The Navy Department today re-
ceived reports that the steamer Es-
peranza has left Vera Cruz via Tam-
pico for Galveston with refugees on
board. The Jason also will go to Gaf-
veston stopping at Tuxpam for ref-
ugees. . The gunboat Nashville was
sent south from Vera Cruz to pick
up refugees at Puerto Mexico.
Members of the cabinet after a
two-hour session at the White
House evinced an optimistic spirit
as to the Mexican situation. It was
stated that no further offensive op-
erations in Mexico had been decided
on. The cabinet devoted much of
its time to the consideration of the
Colorado strike situation and de-
partment affairs.
Secretary Bryan after the cabinet
meeting today went into conference
with Severn Mallet-Prevost an in-
ternational lawyer of New York and
Charles A. Douglas an attorney rep-
resenting the Mexicon Constitution-
alists In Washington.

of an attack of grip and how he
got cured. He says:
“I was attacked with the grip.
Had a terrible cough. Asked my
wife to get me a bottle of PE-

knives were sticking in them.
She got the Peruna for me. I
took it four days. On the fifth

crowds walked about the streets and
the open places. Except for the pass
ing of an occasional patrol the city
seems to have resumed almost nor-
mal conditions. Bands from the ।
American fleet played yesterday and .
attracted large crowds. The idea or ।

suggested by Captain Kush who I
only a few hours before had been ।

ply wa 8 that all whose innocence .
could be established would be re- •
leased.
The total number of prisoners
taken was about 300 but many bar ■
already been released.
American marines and bluejackets
controlled today a radius of at lea
five miles around the city of ver.
Cruz in which normal conditions hau
been virtually restored. Outposts
were pushed further out in a south

ter supply station at Tejar and ma-
rines and sailors were dispatched

watch for the sharpshooters was
kept up all night by patrols who
marched through the streets. Orders
have been issued that all civilians
should keep within their residences
after 7:30 o’clock in the evening and
these were strictly obeyed. As a re-
sult the night was quiet.
VILLA RESPECTS FORCE.
Will Refuse to Let Huerta Draw
' Him Into Tangle With U. S.
EL PASO Tex. April 24. —Gen.
Francisco Villa head of the Consti-
tutionalist military forces informed
George C. Carothers special agent
of the State Department that he will
decline to be dragged into a war
with the United States by anybody.
"Why” he smiled as he threw an
arm about the broad shoulders of
the government representative "all
Europe would laugh at us if we went
to war with you. They would say
that 'Little drunkard Huerta has
Relief for the Kidneys
Improper kidney action causes more
sickness. Bufferings and serious compllca-1
dona than any other organ. The kidneys I
are two large glands situated near the।
middle of the back and their function is i
to purify every ounce of blood in the
body and to do this they must be in a
healthy cond4*ion. If they become in-
flamed. congested or otherwise weakened
in their action the poison remains in the
blood and the whole system becomes im-
pregnated. The general symptoms are
backache loss of appetite headache tor-
pid liver constipation indigestion nerv-
ousneM. drowsiness sleeplessness skin
troubles malaria etc. If you have any
of these symptoms you should at once
commence taking Warner’s Safe Kidney
and Liver Remedy which for 37 years hag
been a standard remedy for the kidneys
and liver and today it without a
rival in healing with certain-
ty the frail tubular struc-
tures constituting these Im-
portant organs. It is a sure
antidote to poisons formed
in the human body owing
to incapable action of ths
kidneys and liver eliminat-
ing through the kidneys
bowels and skin all morbid
and unhealthy accumula-
tions from the system. It
will help you from the very
first dose. At all druggists

drawn them Into a tangle at last.’ ”
Villa said he was not consulted in
the drafting of the Carranza note
transmitted to Secretary Bryan and
which was regarded as somewhat
hostile in tone.
The Constitutionalist leader told
Carothers who reported the inter-
view to the Department that
one of the chief reasons he came to
Juarez was to show the American
people that his attitude was friendly
and that he did not fear to trust
himself on the border without a mil-
itary escort behind him.
Carothers took supper Friday with
Villa and canvassed the situation
thoroughly. —
“Honest” said the Constitutional-
ist general between mouthfuls ”1
hope the Americans bottle up Vera
Cruz so tight that they can’t even
get water into it. Your admiral is
doing something it w’ould have taken
us a long time to accomplish if we
could have accomplished it at all.”
Gift for General Scott.
The general brought with him a
hundred woven rugs of the softest
lambs' wool for a present to Gen-
eral Scott who recently left Fort
Bliss* to become chief of staff at
Washington. Carothers promised to
forward them with Villa's congratu-
lations to the recipient of the pro-
motion.
Villa said he had arranged with
all foreigners except Spaniards to
ship out their cotton from Torreon
on paying a war tax to which the
foreigners had agreed. He said
Spanish cotton was not Included in
the arrangement having been con-
fiscated. There are 75000 bales
there valued at $450000.
Purpose of Carranza.*
Robert V. Pesquiera Carranza'
confidential agent insisted here that!
the note of his chief to Secretary
Bryan was not hostile but was in-
tended as a basis for further nego-
tiations. He was expecting a reply
from Mr. Bryan setting forth the
views of the State Department. The
Constitutionalists’ position is that
the American troops should be with-
drawn from Mexican soil. Carranza
recognized as de facto president or
at least as a belligerent and the
punishment of the individual
ta. and the other individual offend-
ers left V 1 t he Constitutionalists.
Carranza if recognized would not
hesitate to apologize and disavow
the acts of one whom he considers
a traitor.
*“I think his statement was fair
and frank” said Pesquiera "and by
no means a threat of war.”
He was asked if the words used
by Carranza "Will drag us into an
unequal warfare with dignity but
which until today we desired to
avoid” did not mean that Carranza
at last did desire war.
No Fight With the United States.
“Not at ah.” he replied. “It could
not mean that because I know that
my chief wants peace.”
For a time it was thought the
transmission might be at fault and
that Carranza's Spanish really
meant “But to this very day we de-
'sire to avoid.” but careful examina-
tion of the original showed that
translation was correct. It was made
by Samuel Belden Pesquiera and
Carothers in consultation. They
carefully weighed the meaning of
every word and phrase. Pesquiera
said as giving evidence of the peace-
ful intents of the Constitutionalist
government that Carrajiza had re-
fused a number of offers from Fed-
eral garrisons to join him If he
would take the field against the
United States. “To all of these of-
fers we have returned negative re-
plies” said Pesquiera. “We cannot
join forces with Huerta for any pur-
pose.”
Villa Talks Guardedly.
General Villa received— reporters
Thursday night and made guarded
replies to a number of questions.
Asked if foreigners would he pro-
tected should the Constitutionalists
be brought into a war against the
United States he replied:
"Our forces. In an event which I
hope w’ill not come about would
take the opportunity of proving to
the world that we are a civilized
people and capable of following all
rules of civilized warfare. I would
give perfect guarantees to all neu-
tral foreigners and am willing to
vouch for this personally.”
Pratee for Carranza.
When asked whether he would
join forces with Huerta in war
against the United States he said:
"As I have already staated such
an event Is improbable but to an-
swer your question I must state
\hat I am a soldier and am ready to
follow all orders of my chief. Gen-
eral Carranza."

press an opinion on General Car-
ranza's note to President Wilson re-
plied: "It was written with the
brain of a Saxon and the soul of a
Latin.”
He would not make any statement
as to his opinion regarding Presi-
dent Wilson's message of yesterday
to General Carranza beyond the fol-
lowing: "I am a soldier and not a
diplomatist and in that capacity It
would be improper for me even to
comment on that matter.”
Pesquiera made the following for-
mal comment on President Wilson’s
statement of today:
"The wishes and intentions which
he manifests to respect by all means
the sovereignty of my country’ is an-
other evidence of great gentle and
moral standards of President Wil-
son and I expect further develop-
ments to further prove it.”
There were no official communi-
cations between General Carranza
and President Wilson although a
statement was expected from Wash-
ington.
