was ex- This important step was taken by Secretary Bryan on the re- quest of the French government through Ambassador FRENCH MINERS IN DANGER OP MASSACRE It appears that the French citizens who remained in Mexico with seuted to their government that they are in clanger of massacre be- cause they refused to pay a ransom or a forced loan to the rebels This word was brought to Mazatlan by courier and cabled lo Paris and France not having a warship in that vicinity has asked the United States to give an asylum to its endangered citizens Secretary Bryan did not indicate how he expected the navy ment to afford protection for the French residents at San Ignacio but the impression here is that an armed guard will be required to effect the safe conduct of the imperiled lo should the rebels re- fuse to let them depart voluntarily GUARD The cruiser Maryland with a fighting force aboard is at Mazatlan and can put ashore at any moment a strong of marines and bluejackets While no definite information can be ob- as to how the navy department will proceed to rescue the im- periled Frenchmen it is opinion of naval men here that a guard of ItX men with machine guns could make the forty-mile trip and effect the re- lief probably without trouble Secretary request has been communicated to Mr nessy the charge d'affaires in the City of Mexico who is to advise of the proposed action by this government WILL AWAIT WASHINGTON ANNOUNCEMENT Another and important development in the Mexican situation was made public today at the state department It indicates owing to the alarm which European countries have manifested in the affairs in the Mexican situation is rapidly coming to a head France Germany and England are sending warships to the Mexican coast to be prepared for any emergency and the administration has asked these nations to withhold action until the United States shall have announced its policy toward Mexico Today the state department has received assurances from these three European powers that they will await the announcement of policy on the part of this country before taking action DIAZ IN TAKING REFUGE AN ACT OF COWARDICE City of Mexico of eral Felix Diaz in taking refuge on an American warship Is by officials as an act of cowardice oi which there was no justification Diaz it Is insisted wae In no danger lad he accepted the overtures of tion from the army and for that reason his acts to declarations of of- arc of little moment to the Jose Luis who was on the ticket with Diaz he had no positive Information regarding the flight of Huerta would have been treated eral Dias but if reports were true vith every consideration according to foreign Minister Senor considered the conduct f General Dlass aa unpatriotic cowardly nd Every guarantee was assured Diaz the minister said and un- sual honor was shown him in ng a special train and putting the at his disposal Ke declared anight he could not conceive upon what Diaz based the fear which essed him prestige Dinz enjoyed with the tableau people is forever declared General Diaz now Is a citizen by virtue of his undoubtedly had good reasons for his course He said he had positive proof that the government was not acting in good faith in the matter of the election Among Mexicans there is a division of opinion many believing that Diaz would have fared badly had he listened to overtures On the other hand it that the bearing of Diaz throughout affairs lest year was that of a man lacking moral and physical Senor expressed the opinion that no international complications would follow The
