President Wrrpiivj Over
Situation in tfepubfic.
WILSON ANXIOUSLY
Conflicting Accounts of Conditions Give
Rise to Belief That Crisis Is Near.
Mrs. Madero R-ltorates That
Her Husband Was Siain.
Washington, July 21. - Continued
uneasiness regarding the Mexican situ
ation worries the Wilson administra
tion, and It is. felt that an actual crisis
of a serious nature cannot longer be
delayed.
The lack of authentic information,
or rutlier the contradictory reports
received from American olllclnls, in
cluding the ambassador uud the long
list of consuls throughout the country,
has loft President Wilson and his ad
visers In the dark as to the actual con
dition of affairs In the much disturbed
republic.
Furthermore, hints from Europe
that the United States must intervene
to put an end to the virtual anarchy
which persists under the Huerta rule
are embarrassing the president, and
his belief that the Iluerta government,
founded on Intrigue nnd assassination.
Is weak has caused him to withhold
recognition.
William Bayard Hale, biographer
and trusted friend of President Wil
son, has sent confidential reports of
the Mexican situation to Washington.
Persons who have talked with Mr.
Hale assert that these reports are at
wide variance with the oillcial ac
counts of conditions furnished by Am
bassador Wilson and hint that Mr.
Hale's disclosures are of most star
tling description.
Doubt Story of Madero's Death.
While it Is not denied that Ambassa
dor Wilson has left the Washington
administration in perplexity as to tho
situation, no official criticism of him
has as yet been made.
Mr. Bryan, the secretary of state,
has specifically denied that Ambassa
dor Wilson's conduct was under in
vestigation. It Is a fact, however, that
Mr. Wilson's prompt acceptance of the
Iluerta account of Madero's death has
not been Indorsed at Washington.
The president's refusal to grant rec
ognition to the Huerta government Is
taken as sufficient proof that ho did
not accept the oillcial story of Ma
dero's death.
ilrs. Francisco I. Madero. widow of
the late president of Mexico, who is in
this city, declares that her husband
was slain in bis bed while he slept.
Instead of while trying to escape. She
denies the statement that he was be
ing transferred to tho penitentiary and
killed on the way. Tho actual assas
sin, she charges, was Colonel Carde
nas, then a captain, and she asserts
that this man has since exhibited a
knlfo as the weapon with which he
stabbed Madero.
"Mexico," said Mrs. Madero, "has
come to a sad state when there Is even
discussion of such a man as Huerta
for a ruler. Who accepts General
Huerta accepts his acts."
Emphatic denial has been made by
Senor Jose Yves Llmantour, formerly
minister of flnanco in Mexico, who Is
now in -Deauvllle, France, of tho re
port that ho has bee:- using his Influ
ence with European diplomatists In
the hope of hastening American rccog'
nltlon of1 tho Huerta government
"I am not In politics," says Senor
Llmantour.

With the arrival of Mr. Chambers
and his associates tho railroad contro
versy assumed n new phase, but tho
crisis has not passed, it Is said, nnd
tho men are standing firm by their de
termination not to permit tho eight
stipulations advanced by the railroads
to bo made subjects of arbitration at
thW time, thirty days notlco of such
provision not having been given.
It was learned that tho mediators
will hold a conference with representa
tives of the men at the Manhattan
hotel.
Olilclally this will be the first con
ference of Mr. Chambers nnd tils as
sociates In this city to prevent n strike.
While no one would say so. It is be

tho conductors, and W. G. Ixmj, head
