Is President Taft's Ultimatum To
Mexican Government or
This Country Will.
Washington, Feb. 6. Unless the fifty
Americans now held prisoners by the
revolutionaries at Villa Abnmada, Mex
ico (a j town - between Columbia and
Juarez, are released at once, this Gov
ernment will take such steps as may be
necessary to force their release. That
is, insubstance, the demand which has
been made upon President Madera by
this Government, which also demanded
that all Americans in Mexico be given
every protection necessary to assure
their safety. The decision to present
an ultimatum to the Mexican Govern
ment wa) reached at Presidents Taft's
conferance with State and War Depart
ment otncmls. A reply to the note is
expected in a few days In the mean
time the War Department will order
Gen. Duncan, commanding the Depart
ment of Texas, to continue assembling
troops along the border. Col. Steever,
commanding at El Paso, Texas hasTeen
ordered to enforce the neutrality laws
and prevent any firing from the Mexi
can side which may imperil lives on the
American aide of the river.
Gen. Orozco was expected at Juarez
yesterday to suppress the mutiny, but
instead of going to Juarez and compel
ling the insurgent soldiers to lay down
cheir arms he opened negotiations with
them. This action the War Depart
ment regards as a sign of Presid nt
Madero's weaknets. George P. Robin
son, the American manager of a Mexi
can mining company, who was reported
captured several days ago by Mexican
insurgents near Cuernavaca, in the far
south nf Mexico, is safe, according to
unconfirmed reports which Ambassador
Wihon at Mexico City communicated to
the State Department. No word has
been received at the State or War
Department regarding Hie reported
visit of the revolutionary junta. At the
State Department it was said this Gov
ernment would have no dealings, not
even "back stair,'' with them if they
come to Washington. At the War De
partment it was said that no recognition
would be given the revolutionists byline
officers of the array.
