Liverpool is from 1 to 1 1-2 points better than due this morning, although there are countless rumors of war. A great many of you are prob ably unaware of the fact that cotton usually goes tip during a war or during a panic and that the amount of waste which a war creates adds largely to the consumption during any crop. If war w th Mexico really comes we will have all of Texas trying to mine foodstuff* for them and oats for the mules and South-Texas Mexican labor will preclude the possibility of a large crop of cotton in that area. War. of course, is a dis turbing element financially but it is not going to disturb this cotton market fi nanclally very much or very long. Those ot you who will buy cotton on soft spots will be doing the rigid: thing.—J. C. Hill. NOT 80 LONESOME.

Asks no Demonstrations. | This statement was followed by a ! statement from President Huerta ad | vising Mexicans to refrain from dem i onstrations which might embarrass i possible future negotiations. ! Many residents have pro i pared to stay in the Mexican capital whatever bo the outcome of the pres ent crisis unless they arc ordered to leave by Ihe Mexcan’authorities. They express belief that they will not be harmed in any eventuality. Others are going to Vera Cruz or are pre paring to leaev if necessary. Mexican Foreign Minister. Mexico City.— Porttlloy Rojas, min ister of foreign affairs in announcing that it would be impossible to agree to the demand of the United States that the flag of that country be un conditionally saluted, gave out the fol lowing statement: "On April 9 between 11 and noon a boat without an American flag and with nine marines and one officer landed at a point called the Reach of lturbide in Tampico. Col. Raymond Hinojosa, who has charge of defending that point, detained the marines and officer and conducted them to the presence of the general who had com mand of the fort Ignacio Morelos Zar agoza. Attack by Rebels. “It should be remembered that at this time the port not only was under military' control but was withstanding an attack by rebels. "General Zaragoza Immediately and without even investigating the case put the marines and the officer at lib erty, placed Hinojosa in prison and sent an apology to Rear Admiral Mayo, commander of the American fleet. Thought It Closed. “We thought the incident closed but unfortunately this was not so be cause Mayo sent to him some time afterwards an ultimatum wherein lie asked that a second apology be pre sented to him by the staff of the chief of the fort. General Zaragoza; that the American flag be hoisted at a public place in Tampico and saluted by twenty-one guns and, besides, the severe punishment of Hinojosa, stip ulating that all tills be done within 24 hours. “The time was later extended when diplomatic pour parlors were begun between the sub-secretary of foreign affairs in Mexico, the minister being abent at that date and continued until now. If Proved Blameworthy. “The president of Mexico when in formed of the case ordered another Investigation of the facts and punish ment of the guilty officer if it were proved he was blameworthy. He also authorized the minister of foreign af fairs to tnciiress regret on account of the incident. When he became aware that the American government sup ported the request of Rear Admiral Mayo relative to a salute of the Am erican flag which had not been in sulted, he proposed to show his good will toward the American people though he did not think that such a request was Just, proposing that the flags of the two nations lie hoisted and saluted reciprocally and simultane ously. Insistence. “When the American government did not agree witli that idea lull in stead upon Rear Admiral Mayo’s re quest, giving assurance that accord ing to international practice the sa lute would be returned by American cannon after the salute to the Ameri can flag, this was not accepted by President Huerta, who insisted upon his proposition. “Then the American government de termined that pour parlers be brought to an end by ihe final decision of President Huerta within a term which expired at fi o’clock tonight, announc ing that if by that time he had not agreed to the salute of ihe American flag as requested, the wlfalr would be presented to the American congress for decision. Proposed Protocol. “The Mexican government believing that the salute in question was of no importance unless previously and for mally agreed upon by both parties, proposed the singing of a protocol and the minister of foreign affairs pre sented last night a draft of such pro tocol to the American charge d’af faires. Nelson O'Hhaughnessy. "(VBhauglinessy answered that he must consult his government; that he would advise the minister of the na ture of this answer and this afternoon he communicated to the minister the fact that his government di<\ not ac cept the idea of a. signature of any protocol whatever but wanted an un conditional salute of the American flag. Yielding to Humiliation. "This the Mexican government re fused, feeling it bad done all possible, in view of the friendly understanding between the two governments and be lieving the acceptance of such an im position would be equivalent to yield ing by Mexico to humiliation. The Mexican government is confident that the civilized world will find its con duct has been wise and temperate, that it has observed all the require ments of international law and that the refusal to yield further is inspired only by a regard for its honor and dignity.” NECESSARY KNOWLEDGE, A steamboat was str'tided In the M »• sissippl and the captain c uld not get tier off.

The West Now Wants Representation on American Polo Team Which Meets the English Invaders in June New York,—The West has come forth with a demand for representa tion .on the American polo team that will do battle in Juno with the Eng lish invaders. The western demand is just, and one that should he grant ed, but there is just as much chance of it being granted as you have to supplant Connie Mack as manager of the Athletics. How much chance have you ? In years gone by the American team has been made up of Easterners. The Western stars never had a chance to make the team, although some ct the players in the sunset section of this land are about on a par witn even the iri’iPt brilliant dashing poloists of the East. But it’s a dead certainty this year that the American four .will be chosen from among l.arry and Monte waterbury, Foxhali Keene, Devereauz Milburn, Malcolm Stevenson, Rene T,a Montague and Harry Payne Whitney, providing the latter recovers from the injury sustainel to his wrist some weeks ago. All Easterners. The chances are that the first four mentioned will constitute the Ameri can defenders. All are easterners. Frederick McLaughlin, of Chicago, one of the most daring and wonderful polii’ players that ever rode a pony won t get a chance to try for the team, although the competition is “open.” Neither will any of the groat polo players who provide thrills along the Pacific Coast have a chance to “horn” their way into the line-up of the Am erican defenders. Polo experts de clare that such men as W. F. Dilling ham, A. Hone, the Noton brothers and C. A. Rice, who play on the coast, are lust about as good at swatting the lit tle white ball, and Just as daring in their riding, as are any of the great players of the East. The Eastern faction, answering the argument of the Westerners who wan* representation, point to the record of the American "Rig Four” during the past few years, and ask if the addition of any Westerners could have brought about better results than did the old “Big Four”—Whitney, Milburn, and the Waterbury brothers—who first took the championship cup from Eng land and since has successfully de fended it. Which is n mighty good argument at that but doesn't quite answer tho Western quizz. “l Think the Federal League Has a Mighty Fine Chance For Success”—Nick Young New York.—Nick Young, for eigh teen years president of the National League, seems to have signed his own death warrant by venturing the re mark some days ago that "I think the Federal league has a mighty fine Chance for succesß.’’ Such troason on the part of the man who grabbed off money each month for eighteen years for presi denling the National League, Hhall not go unrewarded, in the minds ot organized baseball, and Jnnt now, ’tia said, (hey are debating as to just what method will be used in sending Nick along to the beyond. Shall he be shot at sunrise, strung him front the nearest lamp post, gib batted or fed slow poison? Those be the questions, and just as soon as the answer has been found Nick’s lowing friends and relatives may begin pre- I paring themselves to go into mourn ing for the grand old man of base ball, and one of the finest, sqtiarest i men that over was connected rile game. As Much Ridiculed. Young, now in retirement in his home in Washington, Is quoted as | saying that tbe Federal League teams l as constituted now, seem to be even stronger, and have more major league calibre than did the Americun League clubs in 1901. Young, also declared that the American League was just as much despised and ridiculed when it began its fight on the Natioa.ius as the Feds are being ridiculed today. The situation today as regards the Federals and organized baseball an l that in 1901 when the American League fought the Nationals Is just about the same," said Young. Few thought back In 1901 that the Ameri can League could force recognition from the Nationals. The chance seemed to be against the Americans, yet they made a big light and won out. A Good Chance. "The Federals, despite the fact that they are up against virgantzed and well intrenched opposition, seem to have a mighty good chance. Their entry into the Meld brings about con tinuous baseball in many cities that didn’t have it before, and 1 think that baseball has grown to such an extent, that the fans will support continuous baseball. “Baseball has made wonderful strides since I was connected with the game, and I thluk it will continue to advance except’ln one way- and that is in the matter of salaries being paid the players. 1 think baseball I l layers’ salaries have reache! the! limit right now. To go forther, it ( seems to mo, would lie ruinous. Tie public supports baseball in a nice wav, but it cannot support the clubs, and return dividends to the stockholders. If all the money is to he paid out to j ball players. , Aid the Players, "Baseball wars aid the players in bringing about a boost In | ay for him, ] but there’s always a day of reckoning. And there’s auch a thing as killing the goose that lays the golden egg. A big re action is due in the matter t of baseball salaries unless a rurb is | applied at once. No club owner can j pay huge salaries and make money. And dub owners arc not in the game, merely for their health. “The club owner expects certain' returns from his Investment. If he! finds that he must give all ills profits and perhaps some of his own money to the flayers, thereby suffering big financial loss, he’ll very soon r ake some arrangement, whereby he'll get a just return for his money. And that will mean the ball player* will sulTer a mighty reduction In salary "1 do not sfiv that Trls Speaker, of Hie Boston Red Sox. is not worth the $1(1,000 salary that lie will get under Ills new contract, ft's quite likely that compared to other pla ers lie Is wortli that much, hut I will say that such salaries sh Speaker’s and ,h« other stars of the game will cut n heavily on the club owners’ bankroll and no matter ho* big a bankroll ft chib owner has, lie doesn't earn to j have It drained. He puts in his time,* Best Ponies. "Why don't our players get an Rven chance to try for the team?” The American poloists this year will use, in addition to Whitney's wonder ful mounts, some of the best ponies that were used in the West. Several of those ponies which have been placed at the disposal of the American team when its selection finally is made are said to be speedier .tougher, and oven more schooled in polo skill than the best animals in the East. The English invaders are due to ar rive here about the middle of May. They' have had the “edge” on the Am erican players because they have spent nearly two months in practice In Madrid, while the Americans, because of bad weather conditions, were aide to get down to real work only last week. The English already have decided upon their team and from now until the time they sail will spend thetr lime developing teamwork—the most im portant part of a polo battle. Lord Ashby St, Leger, the backer of the 1914 Invaders, scoured the British isles for players, and it is said that Ills 1914 team is even faster and better than was tho wonderful aggregation that gave the Americans sucli a terrific battle last year. Here is the line-up of the English team: No. I—Ciapt. H. Tompklnson. No. 2—Major F. W. Barrett. No. 3—Capt. Vivian Nockett. Back—Major C. Hunter. " Lockett, who was a member of the 1913 team, was considered one of the best of the quartet, yet this year ho had a mighty bard Job landing a place because of the keen competition, nnd because he was pitted against the very best players in England, The English mounts this year, so say the reports, are sturdier and fast er than last year, and well able to stand tho gruelling task of riding at breakneck speed, stopping stock still in one second’s time and then speeding along again at a whirlwind clip. One of the excuses that England gave last yeav for its defeat was that its ponies weren't able to stand tho gaff. Tho Britons brought about SIOO,- 000 worth of horse flesh with them, and figured that out of tho lot of about 40 ponies they would be aide to get enough horses to last through the game i. But after the battle they de clared that the ponies did not live up to expectations. liis thoughts and money Into the pro ject and he expects a good return. Tlie high salaries of the present day will mean that, few club owners, either in the Federal League or In the American Or National League, will operate with even a fair profit this year." Allhough “Uncle Nick” ub Young u known, has been out of the game for many years, he is still a rabid fan, and Boldom misses any of the games staged in Washington. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL WE FIGHT MEXICO BUT OFFENCES MUST END Continued from page one. self the provisional president of Mex ico, whose right to call himself such we have never recognized in any way. War Enthusiasm. “So that I had a feeling of uneasi ness as 1 read thy papers tills morning, as if tlie country were getting on fire with war enthusiasm. 1 have no en thusiasm for war; 1 have an enthu siasm for Justice and for the dignity of the United States, hut not for war. And this need not eventuate into war ts we handle it with firmness and promptness. Hasn't Lost Patience. Mr. Wilson said the executive could take steps which would fall short ot a declaration of war. The president emphasized that ho had not lost his patience with Mexl co, for to lose patience seemed to him an art of weakness on tlie part cf a person strong enough to do ;ih tie j ought but that he felt such Incidents j as recent ones might go from had to I worse and eventually bring about a j conflict. The president added that he ! thought It was wise in tlie interests of peaee to cut off those repeated of fenses at an early stage May Alter Plens. Kvents of the day, the president in dicated, such as a final acceptance from Huerta, might alter Ills plans and he, added that even the course . of action liy the navy was dependent upon circumstances from hour to I hour. When the president was asked the I dlrei-t question If the purpose of Ills action was to secure the elimination, of Huerta he replied the Tampico In cident did not involve that question, j He replied tlie United States merely I wanted full recognition of Its dignity ’and such a reeognlton as would con stitute a qmirantee that such Inch dents as the one at Tampico would i not ret ur. Message Ready. The president announeetl he had his [ message ready, that It was about a j thousand words long. lie declined to i give out copies of It in advance as had been the custom stylng he wanted , to keep It under advisement to the lust 1 minute. He arranged, however, to * have copies given out nt the capital j simultaneously with his delivery. “Simultaneous.” The use of the word "simultane- ! mis" caused a ripple of laughter among tile president's cgller*. Home one n*k- I erl If the word had not become ob jectionable, but Mr. Wilson laughingly replied that when It all came from one side there was no objection. The reference was to Huerta’s pro- i posal for a simultaneous salute and the president Indicated that by his ' answer thst 31 gun fired simultane- ' ously In salute to the flag by Huerta woul ' be the only kind of simultane.- ' ou» salute that would be accepted.
