The Great Northern Express company

may fall; but tempered to the eun and
tho Bnow, tho sturdy oak survives them
all. And bo in legislative hallB, whoro
men and measures come and go, on

"You may break, you may shatter
the rules if you will, but the Cannon
aroma will hang to them still."

WASHINGTON, Fob. 16
"Hands. off" Mexico for the
present was the decision, of
President Taft; and the cabi
net, reached at a prolonged session, I
which lasted until the early hours of
this morning.
Mr, Taft and seven of his advisors,
gathered in the Whito house, after
roviewing tho situation from every
point of view, and particularly the
proposal of an armistice in Mexico
City, during which non-combatants aro
to bo romoved, and tho creation of
a neutral zono for the American em
bassy, determined to reaffirm the non
intervention attitudo of tho United
States. Meanwhile, however, tho army
and navy will bo kept ready for in
stant action.
Statement Issued.
The cabinet mooting broke up just
after 12:30 a. m. Secretary Knox an
nounced that Secrotary Hillos wonld
propaxo and make public tho only
statement to bo given out. Other
members of tho cabinet referred all
inquirers to Mr. Hilles. His statemout
was as follows:
At a mooting of tho cabinet to
night, various dispatches from
Mexico wore considered, and it was
decided that tho information so
far received afforded no bauls for
a change in tho policy of the gov
ernment of tho United States, al
rendy indicated many times in the
last two years.
It was practically determined that
no further communication would go to
President Madoro at this time.
Discuss Army Plans.
The oarly cabinet meeting followed
a conference between President Taft,
Secretary Stimson and Brigadier Gon
oral Crozicr, president of tho army
war college, who were callod into con
ference to once again go over the
plans that would be put into effect
in caao intervention beeamo necessary.

WILSON CHIEF PROTECTOR
OF FOREIGNERS IN MEXICO
Correspondent of Tribune Stops Senator Who Is
Inflaming 'Populace Against Americans.
By International 2Trs Servtc.
MEXICO CITY, ,Feb. 15. The
city,- despite the storm of bul
lets that swoop its .streets, is
in. unwonted activity. As the
federals change tho location of their
batteries, the dangor points shift and
tho streets aro fillod with jostling
masses of safety Beekors carrying bun
dles of their most cherished posses
sions. Innumerable scenes of pillage occur
and aro scarcelj7 noticod, so great is
the pro-occupation, of the inhabitants,
who are willing to lose their all if their
lives bo spared.
Several times rebels and federals
havo mistaken theso scurrying masses
for advancing enemies and have
opened fire on them, causing countless
deaths.
1 Tho American embassador has
adopted the position of protector of
foreigners, and undor his guidanco, dif
ferent branches of salvage, hospital
and polico work have been organized.
Tho thousands of foreigners and an
immense concourse of Mexicans depend
utterl' upon him for salvation, and ho
is looked upon as tho only rofugo from
tho barbarous practices of either of tho
combatants.
Madero Defies Senate.
Tho senate and the chamber of dopu
ties havo boon in spocial session today,
and as a result both houses decidod to
intervene toward tho immediate cessa
tion of hostilities.
Tho senate sent a delegation to ln
lerviow Madoro, but the .president re
fused to see thorn. They then saw
Diaz, who refused to treat on any
other asis than tho immediato resig
nation of Madoro.
Tho deputies en masse thon procoodod
to tho national palaco and ,standing in
tho square beforo it, reiterated their
demands for an immediato audience
with Madero. Tho president again re
fused to hoar them, and they continued
their mnss mooting in tho strocts
haranguing tho populace to tho effoct
that American intervention was iuovi
tablo unless Madero rosignod. Immense
crowds gathered), and wore addressed
in thi3 wise by senators, deputies and
oven by Minister Lascuerain, former
Mexican embassador to Washington,
and now secretary of foreign affairs in
the Madero cabinet. Tho correspond
out of tho International News Service
was present, and rose up to interrupt
the populnco to remember its hatred of
Americans.

"President Taft has publicly

liberatoly murdorcd. ' '
This quieted tho populace, which had
been gottiuR ugly.
Do la Barra, who vra reported yes
terday to have secured a promise of
resignation from Mndero, today statod
that Mudoro had merely promised to
consider the matter. The president
permitted his second in command, Gun
oral Fchpu Angeles, to join with Do
la Barra for the purpose of treating
with General Enrique, Mondragon,'"Tvho
is Diaz's artillery chief and adviser.
Angeles and Mondragon aro bitter
personal enomios.
Do la Barra is now confining Ms
energies toward persuading the sen
ato, of which ho is a member, to take
decisive action toward forcing Madero
to resign.
Tho senate has published and cir
culated a manifesto showing that the
autonomy of Mo;rico in this crisis de
pends upon tho resignation of a presi
dent who has bo plainly shown, his
incapacity for restoring peace and
properly protecting foreigners and
Mexicans.
Wilson's Wise Proposal.
Embassador Wilson, who is indefa
tigable in his attempts to correct tho
situation, is attempting to convince all ,
factions that firing should conao at
certain hours, in order that non-combatants
may movo to places of safety
and countrymen may bring in sup
plies. Neither side appears willing to do
this, as each fears that the other may
take advantage of such truces to movo
forces and batteries to more advanta
geous positions.
Each sido clnims that tho other has
ropcatcdly "made fraudulent and trait
orous uso of whito and rod cross flags
and threatens to coase respecting these
embloma.
Tho rebel guns spasmodically divert
their attention from the firing at the
west amd turn on the much-battered
national palaco, whose -lOO-ycars-old
walls of solid masonry, ten feet thick,
atill bravoly staud, but whoso facade
ornamentation has totally disappeared.
Tho folingo in the Alameda, which
was formerly Mexico's boast and pride,
has boon totally rulnod by tho flying
sholls And there is hardly a church
tower or building of moro than four
stories that does not show the effects
of tho cannonading.
Bank in the Embassy.
More than 1000 Americans were
moved today from tho placeB where
tho dangor was creatost to tho imme
diate vicinity of the American em
bassy. .
In ono room of the ombnssy a bank

secure money owing to tho closing of
all tho city barfks. Mr. Dcldma 1b
