WAR WITH MEXICO.
Enduring for months petty aggrava
tions without number at the hands of
the Mexican tyrant, Hureta, as well
at- more serious affronts on divers oc
casions, Uncle Sam has at last got his
dunder up, and is preparing to give the
greasers such a drubbing as they have
not received since 1848.
The culmination came one day last
week, when a squad of unarmed ma
rines from a U. S. warship in Tampico
harbor landed for the purpose of pro
curing supplies, and were placed un
der arrest by Huerta's soldiers and
paraded through the streets. Whether
this insult was premeditated may never
he known, but it seems to have been so
construed at Washington, and instant
demand war made upon Huerta for a
full and complete apology for the out
rage. The apology demanded was that
the Huerta government should honor
the Stars Bnd Stripes with a salute of
twenty-one guns. Huerta haggled over
the terms imposed, and sought to
temporize by submitting as u counter
proposal that a return salute be given
the Mexican Mag, etc. This proposal
was rejected, and the Huerta govern
ment likewise refused to yield. This
wus the breaking point. Events since
may be briefly summarized as follows:
1. The immediate dispatch of twenty
warships to the Mexican coast, to en
force the demands of the United States.
2. A message from 1‘resident Wilson,
delivered in person to Congress in joint
sassion, reciting the incident at Tampi
co, and the subsequent provocation re
sulting from the refusal of the Huerta
government to accede to the demand of
the Washington Administration for
satisfactory reparation for the insult to
the IJ. S. flag, etc.
!). A joint resolution passed by Con
gress empowering the President to em
ploy the armed forces of the United
States to enforce its demands, the re
solution being as follows:
Whereas, in view of the facts presented
by the President of tho United States in
his address delivered to the Congress in
joint session on the 20th day of April,
1914, with regard to certain affronts
and indignities committed against the
United States in Mexico: Re it
Resolved hi/ tin■ Senate ami House of
Representatives of the United States of
America in Congress Assembled, Thul
the President is justified in tho employ
ment of the armed forces of the United
States to enforce hiB demand for un
equivocal amends for certain atTronts
and indignities committed against the
United States; be it further
Resolved, That tho United States dis
claims uny hostility to the Mexican
people or any purpose to make war
upon Mexico.
4. The capture of Vera Cruz by U.
S. marines from the several battleships
in tho harbor, routing the Huerta
forces in possession of tho city, after a
sharp engagement.
6. Several minor engagements since,
with the loss of twelve men on our side,
as against several hundred of the ene
my.
The above epitome of events trans
piring since the Tampico incident is
necessarily imperfect, and not wholly
connected, but is sufficiently cleur, per
haps, to fairly describe the situation at
present.
The United States is now facing a
crisis that will inevitably result in a
generul war with Mexico, the end of
which cannot be foreseen. Starting
out with the single purpose of chas
tising Huerta, who is himself at war
with it strong and aggressive revolu
tionary force in his own country, we
may find it impracticable, if not im
possible, to confine hostilities along this
line. Late developments indicate a
disposition on the part of (lie waning
factions in that country to get together
and make common cause in repelling
invasion of Mexican territory by United
States troops. That the situation is
tense is fully recognized at Washington
so tense, indeed, that anything may
happen, at any moment.
l’residcnt Wilson's message to Con
gress is printed below— ,
(lentlemen of the Congress, it is on-
duty to cull your attention to a situa
tion which has arisen in our dealings
with lien. Victoriano Huerta at Mexico
City which calls for action, and to ask
your advice and co-operation in acting
upon it. t>n the 9th of April a paymas
ter of the U. i>. S. "Dolphin" landed at
the lturbide Bridge, landing at Tampico
with a whaleboat and boat's crew to
take off certain supplies needed by his
ship, and while engaged in loading the
bout was arrested by an officer and
squad of men of the army of (Jen. Hu
erta. Neither the paymaster nor any
one of the boat's crew was armed.
Two of the men were in the boat when
the arrest took place, and were obliged
to leave it and submit to be taken into
custody, notwithstanding the fact that
the boat carried, both at her bow and
at her stern, the tlag of the United
States. The officer who made the ar
rest was proceeding up one of the
streets of the town with his prisoners
when met by an officer of higher au
thority, who ordered him to return
to the landing and await further
orders; and w ithin an hour and a half
from the time of the arrest orders were
rt ceived from the commander of the
Huertista forces at Tumpico for the re
lease of the paymaster and his men.
The release was followed by apologies
from the commander and later by an
expression of regret by (Jen. Huerta
himself. CJen. Huerta urged that mar
tial law obtained at the time at Tampi
co; that orders had been issued that no
one should he allowed to land at the
lturbide Bridge; and that our sailors
had no right to land there. Our naval
commanders at the port hud not been
notified of any such prohibition; and,
even if they had been, the only justifia
ble course open to the local authorities
would have been to request the pay
master and his crew to withdraw and
lodge a protest with the commanding
officer of the fleet. Admiral Mayo re
garded the arrest, as so serioua an af
front that he was not satisfied with the
apologies offered, but demanded that
the llag of the United States be saluted
with special ceremony by tho military
commander of the port.
The incident cannot be regarded as
a trivial one, especially as two of the
men arrested were taken from the boat
itself—that is to say, from the territo
ry of the United States—but had it
stood by itself it might have been at
tributed to the ignorance or arrogance
of a single officer. Unfortunately, it
was not an isolated case. A series of
incidents have recently occurred
which cannot but create the im
pression that the representatives of
Gen. Huerta were willing to go out of
their way to show disregard for tho
dignity and rights of this Government
and felt perfectly safe in doing what
they pleased, making free to show in
many ways their irritation and con
tempt. A few duyB after the incident
at'lampico an orderly from the U. S.
,S. "Minnesota” was arrested at Vera
Cruz while ashore in uniform to obtain
the ship’s mail and was for a time
thrown into jail. An official dispatch
from this Government to its embassy at
Mexico City was withheld by the au
thorities of the telegraphic service until
peremptorily demanded by our charge
d’affaires in person. So far as 1 can
learn, such wrongs and annoyances
have been suffered to occur only against
representatives of tho United States.
I have heard of no complaints from oth
er governments of similar treatment.
Suh-equent explanations and formal
apologies did not and could not alter
the. popular impression, which it is pos
sible it had been the object of the Hu
ertista authorities to create, that the
Government of the United Status was
being singled out, and might be singled
out with impunity, for slights and af
fronts in retaliation for its refusal to
recognize the pretensions of Gen. Hu
erta to be regarded as the constitution
al provisional President of the Republic
of Mexico.
The manifest danger of such a situa
tion was that such offenses might grow
from bad to worse until something hap
pened of so gross and intolerable a sort
as to lead directly and inevitably to
armed conflict. It was necessary that
the apologies of Gen. Huerta and his
representatives should go much further;
that they should be such as to attract
the attention of the whole population
to their significance and such as to im
press upon Gen. Huerta himself the ne
cessity of seeing to it that no further
occasion for explanations and professed
regrets should arise. 1 therefore felt it
my duty to sustain Admiral Mayo in
the whole of his demand and to insist
that the flag of the United States should
be saluted in such a way as to indicate
a new spirit and attitude on the part of
the Huertistus.
Such a salute Gen. Huerta has re
fused, and I have come to ask your ap
proval and support in the course I now
purpose to pursue.
Thip Government can, I earnestly hope,
in no circumstances be forced into war
with the people of Mexico. Mexico is
torn by civil strife. If we are to accept
the tests of its own constitution, it has
no government. Gen. Huerta has set
his power up in the City of Mexico,
such as it is, without right and by
methods for which there can be no jus
tification. Only part of the country is
under his control. If armed conflict
should unhappily come as a result of
his attitude of personal resentment to
ward this Government, we should be
fighting only Gen. Huerta and those
who adhere to him and give him their
support, and our object would be only
to restore to the people of the dis
tracted Republic the opportunity to set
up again their own laws and their own
government.
But 1 earnestly hope that war is not
now in question. I believe that I speak
for the American people when 1 say
that we do not desire to control in any
degree the affairs of our sister Repub
lic. Our feeling for the people of Mexi
co is one of deep and genuine friend
ship, and everything that we have so
far done or refrained from doing has
proceeded from our desire to help them,
not to hinder or embarrass them. We
would wish even to exercise the good
offices of friendship without their wel
come and consent. The people of Mex
ico are entitled to settle their own do
mestic affairs in their own way, and
we sincerely desire to respect their
right. Their present situation need have
none of the grave implications of inter
ference if we deal with it promptly,
firmly and wisely.
No doubt 1 could do what is necessary
in the circumstances to enforce respect
for our Government without recourse
to tin 1 Congress and yet not exceed my
constitutional powers as President, but
j 1 do not wish to act in a matter possibly
of so grave const quence except in close
conference and co-operation with both
the Senate and House. I therefore
come to ask your approval that 1 should
j use the armed forces of the United
States in such ways and to such an ex-
Gent as may le necessary to obtain
! from Gen. Huerta and his adherents
! the fullest recognition of the rights and
I dignity of the United States, even
j amidst the distressing conditions now
1 unhappily obtaining in Mexico.
There can in what we do be no
I thought of aggression or of selfish ag
grandizement. We seek to maintain
the dignity and authority of the United
States only because we wish always to
keep our great influence unimpaired for
the uses of liberty, both in the United
States and wherever else it may be em
ployed for the benefit of mankind
