Orliaba, and Information forwarded to
Washington that American military au
thorltlea at Vera Cm consider the situa
tion at Mexico City and throughout ths
Mexican republic a grave one for Amer
icans there aroused activity of the Wash
ington government today.
While the authorities were cxertlnf
every possible effort to pet verification
ot the disquieting reports from the Mex
ican capital, Secretary of State Bryan
conferred with the Brazilian ambassador
here, Mr. Da Oama, over the arrest of
Americans nt Orizaba, and Informed him
that he had requested tho Brazilian dip
lomatic roeprcsentatlves In Mexico City
to peek tho release of the prisoners. Am
bassador Da Oama urged the Brazilian

ould for tho release of tha Americans.
Find Alibi for llnrrtn.
Officials were much exercised over the
reported assassination of Americans In
Mexico City. Serious eventualities there,
it was pointed out, might aggravate the
present situation and servo to arouBo .!
sentiment among tho peoplo that would
demand moro aggrcaslvo action In Mexico
on the part of this government It was
further emphasized, however, that mob
lotenco could not be construed as any
deliberate act of General Huorta and that j
It could bo claimed by hta government
that it was powerless to control the sit
uation, owing to tho anti-American feel
ing aroused by tho seizure of Vera Cruz.
Although no new military orders wero
Issued by tho War department, plans for
perfecting tho operations at Vera Cruz
and atoncr the Mexican border wero con
sidered by Secretary Garrison, General
Wotherspoon, chief of staff, and Major
General Wood, who has been chosen to
direct the military operations in co-operation
with Secretary of tho Navy Daniels,
win stilt sit right.
After a long conference of tho depart
ment officials, early in tho day, Secre
tary Garrison declared that tho troops
sent to Vera Cruz to reinforce tha naval
forces there, wero being sent there "for
duty." What form this duty would take
or how extensive or aggressive the oper
ation of the troops would be, the secre
tary would not say. It was', declared,
however, that there had been no change
In the policy ot tho government to "sit
tight" at Vera Cruz, unless retaliatory
tactic should bs resorted to by General
llucrta or somo overt action by the con
stitutionalists' should demand a forward
movement Into Mexico. Neutrality of
the constitutionalists, official belloved,
would be enforced.
What Mar Bet Done.
Shout war be forced on this govern
ment, it wo pointed out the base of
operationa would be Vera Cruz, and the
plan wold -'be, to, confine tho advanco as
far ft; 'p'oislblo, to. the territory con
trolled by Huorta, with Mexico City as
the objective polpt jot tho American
forces. , v
The movement, it was generally be
lieved, would be an extensive one. Al
though It still la the determined policy- of
tho president to prevent war, tho army
and navy are prepared for any emer
gency, and should the word come to ad-
Vance to the Interior in order to protect
Ufa and property, it is said, tha War
department is ready to send in an army
of 10,000 to 30,000 men, and to increase tha
forces to a. great degree along the Mexi
can border.
Today there were appeals for more
troops from border states, and tho War
department officials, while considering
plans for co-onerating with tho nrilltla In
those states, also were working out plans
for calling Into tho service tho mllltla
of various states, under the terms of the
volunteer army bill just passed. The
War department throughout tho day was
humming with excitement. Ho porta that
General Wood already had been ordored
to Vera Cruz were emphatically denied.
He-ports of dissension in tho cabinet
over tho policy being pursued in the
Mexican crisis also wero denied and Sec.
retary of State Bryan branded as falso
rumors again circulated that he would
resign his post in the event that war Is
declared.
Spain to Hepresent Mexico.
Announcement today by the Bpanlsh
ambassador, Mr. Xtlano, that Mexico had
turned its affairs In tho United States
over to his government, came as a sur
Pri to official here, tho general ex
pectation having ben that Franco would
be asked to act in Mexico's behalf. Vol
lowing report from Madrid that King
Alonso was willing to act a mediator in
the differences between this government
and Mexico, the selection of Spain to look
after the affairs ot Mexico was regarded
with significance. Although there have
been several informal suggestions ot
diplomatic intervention from various
quarters, it is declared at the State de
partment that no formal offers had been
made nor wero any expected.
Americana Under Arrest.
In an official report from Consul Can
ada at Vera Cruz tho State department
was informed today that several Amerl
cans wero placed under arrest In Mexico
City after being taken from the refugee
train that carried Charge O'Shaughnessy
and his party to Vera. Cruz. J. Starr
Hunt and his family wero among- those
arrested. Burton Wilson wa taken from
the train at the first station out of Mex
ico City.

has spoken often of tho subject ot uni
versal peace and has expressed altruistic
sentlmenta, and,' among other tilings, has
declared in a speech delivered In th
woat that thorn would be no war while
he was secretary of state.
Bryan Will Not
Leave the Cabinet
WASHINGTON. April .-Secretary of
State Brya.li today emphatically denied
Widespread and persistent reports that
ha would resign from the cabinet. When
informed ot published reports that he
would relinquish hi post should war be
declared against Mexico, Mr. Bryan said
"The subject ot my resignation has never
been discussed with anybody nor thought
of by me,"
It is stated on authority that
in no cose has Secretary Bryan
declared that ho would resign his
office Jn case it became necessary
lor the united States to engage in war
and he ha let it be known to his personal
mends that ho could be railed on to do
Ma full duty to tho administration and
to remain at his post under present con.
Unions and any others that he thought

The rumors of Mr. Bryan's Intention to

now a refugee and property worth any.

dustrles ha1 been left behind.
Many of these industries have remained
oporatlvo, partially 'tat least, through
every difficulty and discouragement of
robbery, taxation, uncertain communica
tions and oven personal danger of em
ployes, but almost tho last one of those
Americans who built and maintained
them has been driven out by tho de
velopments of the affair at Tamplco.
W. W. Grubbs of Motlera, where the
great saw mills have porslstently, but on
a constantly diminished scale, manufac
tured their output, related a pathetlo In
cident of tho departure of the Americans
from that city.
'The closing of the mills meant much
to us," ho said, "but I gucs It meant
more to the thousands of Mexicans em
ployed thero. There was a big crowd of
them at the station when we wont away
and some fairly begged us to stay. I
don't know what will become ot them,
now that. their employment Is irone. It
was a sad scene and we didn't havo an
enemy in the crowd. In fact, through the

courtesy and not a sign of enmity."

The State department said that no offi

four American had been killed In Mexico
City and that Consul Canada at Vera
Cruz, still in communication with the

tinez, a wealthy Mexican, who always
had declared his friendship for Ameri

escaped perhaps a more humiliating
finish when ho died today as tho result
of a wound received during the fighting
Wednesday.
Martinez was In a houso from which
persistent sniping operations were carried
on. It was Buspected that ho was doing
tha shooting. Ho was watched and
warned. Finally ho was detected on a
balcony with his knees covered with a
newspaper. From time to time tho nows
paper was sscn to rlso simultaneously
with a detonation. This evidence wo
regarded as so convincing that Martinez
was. shooting, that ho became a mark
for tho American sharpshooters.
A steel jacketed bullet then burled
Itself in him. The wound It mode was a
erlou's one, but tho friends of Martinez
Inside tho houso hid him In order to pro-
vent his arrest. This made impossible
his receiving medical treatment until it
whs too lata to save his life.

LOSES EGG RECORD ON FOUL
Man Devonm Fifty-Three and Fall
Down an nn Ancient
One.
William Itclnkc, champion heavyweight
long-distance egg-cater of tho east, failed
on Caster morning to smash the world's
record. He lost on a foul. He had eaten
flfty-thrco of tho ovoid beauties when he
ran Into one that was not as orthodox as
it plight have been. And right there the
contest was postponed sine die.
Here Is what WHJIam ate;
Thirteen soft-boiled eggs, with three
pieces of bread,
Thirteen hard-boiled eggs, with a coffee
ring.
Eight fried eggs, with a French roll.
Klght poached eggs, with three dough
nut. Eight eggs In omelet form, with two
seed rolls.
Three scrambled eggs, with three tea
biscuits.
"I was getting along in fine shape,"
said Relnke .yesterday to a reporter, for
the World, "but when I collided with that
Scotch verdict egg I lost my sunny dis
position. "I eat on an average of 100 eggs a week.
I've been doing that for the last five
years. That makes about 6.000 eggs that
I've climbed on the outside ot In that
time. Sunday. was the first time that, a
bad egg ever got annoylnsly close to me."
"How do you tell a bad egg?" asked the
reporter.
"I break It gently," replied Mr, Relnke.
"That's tho best way In the world. You
see, the egg with the long pedigree that
I found on Sunday was tucked away In
the middle of a lot ot scrambled ones,
and thero was no way ot knowing It was
there till I got closely acquainted with It.
