AMBASSADOR PAGE’S SPEECH ANGERS
iment Is Or-
Seventeenth Regiment Is Or
dered From Atlanta To Be
Ready to Strike.
WASHINGTON, March 12.—Official
reports to the War Department to
day showed that the orders to rush
two more regiments of American
troops to the Mexican border are be
ing rapidly complied with. With the
arrival of the Ninth Regiment from
I'ort Thomas, Ky., and Fort Logan H.
Roots, Ark., and the Seventeenth
Regiment from Atlanta in Texas, the
Unitell States will have nearly 18,000
troops within striking distance of
Mexizo. This is 3,000 more than Gen
eral Shafter had in his Santiago
campaign in Cuba,
The administration’'s explanation
that these additional troops are be
ing sent to the Mexican border be
cause of requests made by members
of the Texas Congressional delegation
that the international line b>» more
efficiently patrolled was regarded to
day as a correct statement of fact,
but the belief current here for several
days that the Mexican situation was
approaching a crisis was also
strengthened by the orders for the
movement of troops,
Machine Guns for Embassy.
Recent dispatches of a confidential
nature have stated that machine guns
are being sent to Mexico City for the
protection of the American ration
there and the orders to ac the
military forces on the bora ere
fore, caused no surprise.
Democratic members of ) .gress
made no secret to-day of th beliet
that the dispatch of more ti ops to
thie border indicates that the vern=
ment is preparing for an em rgency.
Hopes that General Carranz: and the
Constitutionalist forces coul’ restore
peace in Mexico have been sradually
tading for a month,
[lven the news that General Villa
had actually begun his long promised
campaign against Torreon failed to
restore confidence in the Constitu
tionalist army, and Carranza's atti
tude in the Benton case has destroyed
in great measure faith that this Gov
ernment has had hitherto.
Colquitt Causes Anxiety.
There is no doubt that tnere has
been anxiety at the White House and
State Department over the uiterances
of Governor Colquitt of Texas, and
his blunt assertions that his State
would protect her citizens, but this
anxiety has not caused the belief at
any time that the Governor of the
L.one Star State would take any ac
tion that would plunge the United
States into war with her southern
neighbor.
The new regimenes sent to Texas
will be assigned to patrol the border
at Laredo and Eagile Pass, and the
cavalry that has been working there
will be shifted farther west. The two
infantry regiments number 1,600 men.
The seven cavalry regiments and one
infantry regiment now on patrol duty
number about 5,500 men, and there
are 11,000 more in camp at Texas City
under command of Brigadier General
Funston.
Troops to Move Monday.
The orders sending the Seventeenth
and Ninth Regiments of infantry to
the Mexican border provide that they
get under way Monday, it was learned
to-day at the War Department.
“These are all the troops,” said
Secretary Garrison, “that the depart
ment contemplates moving at pres
ent. There is no necessity which re
quires a larger patrol along the Mexi
can border than these additional
troops added to the force there at
yresent.”

WASHINGTON, March 12.—Fol
lowing similar action in the Senate

Murray, of Oklahoma, this afternoon
introduced in the House a resolution
calling upon Secretary Bryan to fur
nish immediately to the House infor
mation as to whether Ambassador
Page made statements concerning the
Monroe Doctrine in a speech in Lon
don last night, which in effect de
clared “that the Monroe Doctrine is
not an American policy, but merely an
American desire to be expressed to
IBuropean monarchies, but not to be
enforced.”
The resolution also inquired wheth
er Ambassador Page's statement, if
made, had the sanction of the State
Department and whether it is and will
be the policy of the State Department
to abandon the Monroe Doctrine.
Of the Amdassador’s reported state
ment that it gave the United States
great pleasure in building the ‘canal

the Administration seeking to repeal
the canal tolls exemption clause.

introduced by Senator Chamberlain,
of Oregon, which read:
“Whereas there was published in

to be a London cable to The New

the annual dinner of the Associated
(Chambers of Commerce in London, in
which Hon. Walter Hines Page, the
American Ambassador to Great Brit
ain, is reported to have said, ‘The
Monroe Doctrine simply meant this:
That the United States would pre
fer that no European Governments
would gain more land in the new
world; and i
“Whereas it is further state that,
‘amid laughter, Mr. Page declared that
he would not say that the United
States had constructed the Panama
'Canal for Great Britain, but that it
‘had added greatly to the pleasure of
ibuilding that great work to know that
the British people would profit most
iby its use; therefore, be it
Calls for His Speech.
“Resolved, That the Secretary of
State be requested to furnish to the
Senate without delay a copy of the
speech made by the American Am
bassador and particularly that part
thereof giving his definition of the
Monroe Doctrine and those portions
thereof in which he is alleged to have
stated that the British would profit
most by the use of the Panama Ca
nal, and that he call upon the Amer
ican Ambassador to furnish forth
with for the use of the Senate the
evidence upon which that portion of
his speech was based, wherein he is
