Washington, March 24. ? In a final
effort to crush out sedition and pre
vent the necessity .of American In
tervention in Mexico. President Diaz
may take the field in pemoi^ at the
head of the federal army within SO
days if his health permits. This re
for% was received in Washington to
day from Mexico and added a strong
indication to the belief which has
been growing that, the United States
la giving Mexico time to place' her
domestic affairs upon a more solid
footing.
This also Indicates that Dlax Is
determined that the forms demand
ed by Maderlsts shall not be grant
ed, at ledst In this regime. Accom
panying this intelligence is a state
ment from the Mex:can president
that the revolt will be effectually
crushed ou^ *'ln -a short time."
With Diaz in the Aeld the duties
of the national executive at the Mex
ican capital would logically evolve
upon the shoulders of vice President
Corntl. Although under the exigen
cies of the situation tbey would prob
ably be assumed by Minister Liman
tour.
Although President DIM tsinfirm
glows am strong as eveP and he coc^
ftdently believes that the moral ef
fect of hia presence in the field VOuld
beas groat as the presence of as
hrmy.
Every resource st the eotftoand of
the Mexican republic la being called
Into play to put down the insurrec-.
With constant demands of foreign
capitalists groupe becoming more and
more insistent; with the government
expending the revenues which had
been negotiated for public Improve
ments and with the credit of the na
tion suffering from Inability, Presi
dent Dlas Is confronted with the real
crisis of the republic.
It is confidently learned that Vice
Preslcfent Corral, of Mexico, will sail
for Borope about April If, "for his
