President Has Taken the First Step,
It Is Reported, for Diplomatic Ar
rangement in Which United States
Troops Will Guard Americans.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.—Presi
dent Wilson is believed to-night to
have taken the first step toward di
plomatic Intervention in Mexico.
Precise details of the plana are
withheld, but it is virtually certain
that it contemplates the tender of the
good offices of the United States
y bring about a truce or armistice
pending final settlement of the civil
war.
By this plan the American army
and navy are to be utilized to safe
guard American lives.
Huerta Heeds U. S. Demand.
Huerta has heeded the peremptory
demand of the United States for the
Immediate trial of the persons who
shot Charles B. Dixon, Jr., United
States Immigration Inspector, at
Juarez, and has ordered the case to
proceed expeditiously.
Huerta has also telegraphed to the
Governor of Chihuahua immediate
ly to release Charles Bissel, Bernard
McDonald and Biasel’s chauffeur, who
are held by the Federals under sen
tence of death at Chihuahua.
Not only did Huerta inform Nelson
O’Shaughnessy, American Charge
d’Affalres at Mexico City, of these
facts, but he sent to the State De
partment an absolute disavowal of
the Dixon shooting coupled with the
most fulsome protestations of regard
for the American Government.
He regrets “very much that the
American Government should as
cribe to the influence of the Mexican
Government any action which might
be construed as antagonistic to Amer
icans during his occupancy of the
executive authority.”
Huerta assures the State Depart
ment “that no injustice or violence
shall be done' to Americans with his
cognizance while he is in his present
position.’
The Huerta statement added:
“The Mexican Consul at El Paso
has informed the Mexican Foreign
Office that the matter of the shoot-
tng of Dixon has been satisfactorily
arranged. It la stated that the Gov
ernment Mexico City seems most
desirous of meeting the desires of
the United States in every way pos
sible.”
House Inquiry Asked.
Representative Stephens, of Texas,
has introduced a resolution pro-
* vidlng for a Joint Senate and House
committee to investigate Mexican
conditions, report on outrages to
which Americans have been subject
ed, the prospects for establishment of
a stable government in Mexico, and
recommendations for a fixed Ameri
can policy toward Mexico. He be
lieves peace, if brought about, will
be only temporary.
In the Senate Senator Sheppard of
Texas introduced a resolution looking
to tho possible recognition of the
Mexican revolutionists as belligerents.
The resolution requests the Foreign
Relations* Committee to advise the
Senate whether, in its opinion, this
nation should recognize the belliger
ency of the revolutionists In Mexico
and accord them the proper interna
tional status to which they are enti
tled.
The State Department to-day made
the extraordinary announcement that
Dr. Gaza Aldapo, who is soon to be
Secretary of Foreign Affairs for Mex
ico, “has spent much time in the Unit
ed States and is reported as in sym
pathy with American institutions.”
Mexico’s Sudden Change.
It is not known definitely to what
the lightning changes are due in the
Mexico situation, bu f it Is believed by
many officials It was the prompt and
effective action of Brigadier General
Bliss, coupled with the dispatch of the
additional vessel, the Wheeling, to
Mexican waters which gave Huerta te
understand he must act promptly in
dealing with Americans and American
affair?.
The United States has no intention
of withdrawing the Wheeling from
the East Coast of Mexico. While there
Is no further use for her at Frontera,
she wan ordered to-day to proceed to
Progresro and Campeche and to re
main on duty subject to the orders of
Rear Admiral Fletcher at Vera Cruz.
In the meantime the White House
and the State Department will en
deavor to prevent discussion of Mex
ico in Congress*, certainly up to the
national election, October 26.
Bryan Keeps Silent.
Secretary Bryan was not disposed
to-day to dlacues the report that Am
bassador Wilson has demanded ac
ceptance of his Immediate resignation
or accept his policies as to Mexico.
The report was brought to Secre
tary Bryan’s attention when It was
stated that owing to the activity of
Representative Smith of Texas and
certain Mexican railway officials*, the
Administration is about tc decapitate
Consul Edwards at Juarez.
It is alleged he has been sending out
inaccurate Information, has* been too
friendly with the rebels and has out
lived his usefulness.

The New $200 Upright
By FREDERICK U PHAM ADAMS.
NEW YORK, Aug. 2.—The policy of
the United States toward Mexico in
recent years has earned for us the
deserved contempt of all Datin-Amer
ica. Our *euccession of administra
tive and diplomatic blunders has been
watched with amazed Interest by
Great Britain, Germany and other
great world powers.
A considerable portion of the press
and tho public gasped with indignant
surprise when it was semi-officially
announced that certain of these pow
ers had reminded the United States
of its obligation to enforce the Mon
ro© Doctrine or to abandon It.
It Is a lamentable fact that the
United States ha.8 not progressed far
enough on its path as a world power
to realize the propriety and Justice of
anticipating the Inevitable results of
well-known conditions. We do not
act because it Is logical and right that
we should act, but, on the contrary,
because our indecision and diplomatic
cowardice eventually corners us Into
a position where we are forced to act
Spain Forced Nation’s Hand.
Why did we go to war with Spain?
Was it because Spain was oppressing
and slaughtering the Cubans? Was
it because of our Instincts of hu
manity ? Was it because of a feeling
of sympathy for “the under dog?”
Was it because the lives and proper
ty of thousands of Americans were
imperiled in the semi-savage war
fare between the relentless Weyler
and the Cuban revolutionists? No.
Any one of these considerations
should have been enough to interfere
bv force of arms and stop a strug
gle which was a disgrace to civiliza
tion. But we closed our eyes and
stopped cur ears and let the sickening
carriage go on for years, most at our
doors.
Why did we finally “interfere” in
Cuba? Because of The blowing up of
the Maine. That aroused our flaming
anger and we proceeded to rescue Cu
ba from anarchy, not because it was
our duty, not because it was the just
and logical step to take, but because
we were mad.
We dkl not know' who destroyed the
Maine and sacrificed the lives of its
officers and men, and we do not know
now, but that the tragedy that shock-
ed tiie American public into a realiza
tion of the fact that something was
wrong in Cuba and a wave of frenzy
forced the Government to take just
the step which, it should have taken
long before.
In the last two years more Ameri
cans have been foully murdered in
Mexico than gave up their lives on
the Maine. They have been killed
singly or in small groups in sections
remote from communication. They
were not participants in any of the
numberless ‘revolutioipr which ha,ve
been waged for plunder from one end
of Mexico to the other.
They were ranchmen, cowboys,
miners, engineers, railroad men and
of other honest occupations. Most of
them were killed while trying to de
fend their lives and their property.
Consuls Report Outrages.
Day by day in all the awful months
which have passed in Mexico the va
rious consular representatives of the
United States have forwarded to Am
bassador Wilson the reports of out
rages against our citizens and have
furnished him with the names of the
dead as far as known.
Day by day Ambassador Wilson has
forwarded to Washington cabled or
written reports of the loss Of Ameri
can life and the destruction of Amer
ican property. Week after week Am
bassador Wilson presented to Presi
dent Madero, and later to Huerta,
claims for the redress of these out
rages. They did nothing. Washing
ton did practically nothing to enforce
Mexican attention to these just
claims.
Madero was President of Mexioo,
and the usual crop of murder and pil
lage prevailed from the Rio Grande to
Guatemala.
It was given out at the White House
when President Taft ordered thou
sands of United States troops massed
along the borders of the Rio Grunde
that this disposal of troops had no
connection with Mexican affairs, but
was peaceful army maneuvers.
This statement was a conventional
diplomatic twisting of the facts. There
was a brief subsidence of outrages
against Americans in Mexico, but it
soon became apparent to all of the
warring factions that the United
States was bluffing, and they pro
ceeded with their work of pillage and
murder, regardless of the American
troops massed along the border.
Swiss Hotels Refuse
English Bank Checks
Number of Swindles Has Caused
Bonifaces to Insist on American
Method of Paying Bills.
Special Cable to The American.
GENEVA, Aug. 2.—Owing to a
large number of recent swindles, the
Swiss hotels now refuse to accept
English checks in payment of hotel
bills. Heretofore English checks have
passed in Switzerland nt their face
value, no exchange on them being
charged. A clever band of swindlers
have made u^e of this fact and have
passed forged checks to the extent of
several thousand dollars.
The best method for tourists to use
in monetary transactions in Switzer
land, say the hotelkeepers, is the one
used by most Americans, the express
money order and tourist agency notes,
as these are accepted as cash by the
hotel proprietor*.
