The decision to Issue such warning
v. as reached at a special meeting of tbe
cabinet.
' The proclamttloa augmented by s
l;lKratn addressed by th Htata depart
ment to AmbasatAor Wilson In the City
of Mexico. The smbasador.wns Instructed
to Inform Americans In peril there to
withdraw across the border1, leaving- their
effects In the care of the nearest lotted
State consul.
Copies of ths telegram were sent alsolo

The presidents utterance, it wss sx
plained, was In no sense a recognition of
the revoluttlonary movement In the sis

to be looked upon as a declaration of
neutrality. It was declared the utterance
was solely a warning to Americans to
avoid anything that might savor of par
tisanship In the existing state of affairs.
