! of his forces.
Future Steps.
Future steps are dependent upon
a more definjte announcement of the
intentions of General Carranza. like
wise, it is declared the American
forces will not extend their opera
tions beyond the vicinity of Vera
Cruz until it Is clear whether General
Huerta will declare war or send
troops to attempt to dislodge the
American forces.
The president made it clear that i.e
had no intention as yet to call for
volunteers or appearing before con
gress to ask for an extension of his
authority.
For Any Overt Act.
Tt was further stated that a brigade
of infantry and artillery from Gal
veston to re-inTorce the naval forces
at Vera Cruz is not intended as an
indication that the United States
would develop a cam.' aign against
j Mexico City, but should Huerta by
i some evert act against Americans in
Mexico City or elsewhere, provoke
; the American government further
j there will be a continuation of ef
| forts to obtain reparation. President
, Wilson considers that, in accordance
with International precedent, the
American government could even
push its way Into the interior of the
country to obtain redress for wrongs
without actually being in a state of
war with the Mexican people as a
whole.
May Precipitate It.
He. however, realizes that Huerta,
by rallying to his support a great part
of the Mexican nation, actually may
precipitate a general war hut It Is
icrtaln that the Initiative In a dec
laration of war would have to come
from Mexico before the president ap
pears before congress to ask for more
