WILSON ISSUES ULTIMATUM
PRES. MADERO AND
DEMANDS THAT MEXICO GIVE
STEP TOWARD WAD
Deliberate Murder of in
American Stirs Taft
and Cabinet,
V.JLL SUBMIT PUN TO
THE SENATE TO-DAY
In scathing ultimatums, served alike
upon the Federal government represent
ed by Madero and upon the insurrectos
represented by Gen. Orozco, the United
States Government yesterday took its
flrst active step leadinelo immediate in
tervention in Mexico. Calling attention to
the enormous and constantly increasing
destruction ol American property and
the deliberate military murder of Amer
ican citizens xonrrary to the interna
tional laws governing all civilized na
tions, in a war that is seemingly with
out definite end or definite" purpose, the
State Department informs the Mexican
people that they trill Te held definitely
responsible for every such barbaric act.
"Will Enforce Demands.
In Its ultimatum to Gen. Orozco the
State Department calls specific attention
to tba fact that in spite of his formal
announcement that beumse the "United
States has refused to recognize the bel
ligerency or his party tie win jay no fur
ther attention to any demands made by
Consul Letcher at Chihuahua, this state
ment is delivered through mat omciai,
and its contents will be enforced. At
tention Js caned to lbe-iiintajyinurdr
of Thomaa Fountarhj 'fcn American citi
zen, who was captured by force under
the command of GetL. Orozco. and, he Is
informed that he will be held directly
and personally responsible for all such
crimes.
In the ultimatum W. Madero attention
Is directed to the barbaric threat made
by the Federal general. Villa, that in
ret-ence on Orozco for the murder of an
American citizen captured while fighting
In the Federal ranKs ne ivuiaj wui
nmmntlv execute all Americans captured
m the rebel ranks, and he is covertly
Informed that Villa will carry out that
threat at his own peril.
Attitude Is Strong;.
bo strone is the attitude assumed by
th- administration in both ultimatums
that the threat of immediate interven
tion is scarcely veiled. The ultimatums
served upon Mexico by the State De
partment yesterday are but the, pre
liminary steps to a swift realization of
that exclusive prophecy.
The temper or Congress' at this time
may be gathered from the. Illuminating
fact that Senator Fall .and Representa
tive oumr of New Mexico, whose btate
borders on the Rio Grande, were last
night formulating plans to force im
mediate intervention In Mexico. These
plans will be submitted to leaders in the
Senate to-day.
Senator Fall has large Interests in Mex
Vro. and is acquainted with many of the
leading Americans in that country. Many
friends of Representative Curry are on
lhe south side of the Mexican border.
Soth men knew Fountain, the American
vho was executed by order of Orozco
ifter condemnation by a drumhead court
martial. In the face of a vigorous pro-
vest from this government.

GEN. OROZGQ
COLONEL ELATED,
SURE OF WINNING
Drubbing He Gave Opposition
in Pennsylvania and Illi
nois Pleass Him.
"EVEN BBEAK," HE SAYS
Oyster Bay, N. T.. April lt-CoL
Roosevelt feels to-night that he if
most has his clutches on the Presidential
nomination. The drubbing he gave the
machine in Pennsylvania on top of the
landslide In Illinois has Instilled him with
confidence that he will win out. -.
Bubbling over with elation, the for
mer President counted up delegates for
himself to-night at Sagamore Hill. As
Roosevelt calculates It. he and President
Taft break about even On the instructed
delegates already elected to the Chicago
convention. The Rough Rider throws out
all the 10S contested delegates in making
up his list, but secretly expects to have
most of them counted for him when the
Republican "National Committee gets
down to work. Particularly is be bank
ing on the contested delegates from the
South.
"Misleading tables of delegates already
elected to Chicago are being printed in
the newspapers, observed the colonel.
"I do not blame the newspapers, for
in every instance false reports seem to
emanate from certain official channels.
I have been considering' the preparation
of a formal statement of the Instructed
delegates actually elected...! may do so
within a few days."
He went on to tab up the instructed
delegates, according to his own reckon
ing. Concedes Taft ISO Delegates.
"The way- I have li." he said, "Mr.
Taft and I have about 150 Instructed
delegates each. In several States the
Taft people have set Mown as Taft dele
gates some who have been Instructed
for me. This hsa been done where the
delegates are not actually In the contest'
ed list.
"Mississippi gives a striking example
of what I mean. I understand that

ed from that State have been put lirth

egstes Ir a Roosevelt delegate.
"The figures printed of the "Missouri
elections give Mr. Tart eight of the
thirty-two delegates, and none for me.
Mr. Taft will get six In the whole State,
I am told, while I already have twenty-
two of the delegates. That's quite a
difference.
"In New lork they hae allowed me
eight delegates. I have ten already, will
get ten more who are wavering, and If
it seems at the time of the convention
that hair of the delegates favor me I
am told that I wIU get twenty more from
Isew York, making- at least forty in all.
Twelve States Solid.
' We carried all the twelve delegates
from Maine, solidly, and they dont give
us credit for that. In Vermont the two
delegates already elected are Instructed
for me, and of the six more to be elected
1 am sure to get three more, they tell
me, and probably five, leaving one for
Mr. Taft.
"The other side has been claiming
North Carolina as being against me. The
real situation there Is that I have al
ready sixteen of the twenty-four In
structed delegates.
"From what they have told me," the
former President went on. T believe
.there are going to be some surprises in
Massachusetts. I won't make any pre
dictions about It, but I think we will
get some delegates there that the other
side is counting on."
Advices received by Roosevelt to-day
in a flood of telegrams from Pennsyl
vania convejed word that he had carried
off. M of the delegates, including the
twelve at large, which the State con
vention, controlled by the Rnoiwv.lt
forces, will pick out. Ex-State- Senator
Fllnn. of Pittsburg, wired ilm that he
could count op having two-thirds of the
delegates to the convention. "It seems
that we hit them middling hard,'" quoth
the colonel gayly In discussing the
Pennslvanla clean-up.
""Walt and See."
"Do you expect. In view 'of all that
happened last week, to be in the race
as the Republican party's nominee In
November" was asked.
"I won't say about that," replied the
colonel with a show of modesty. "Walt
and see."
"Senator Penrose appears tq have lost
his own district." was suggested.
"Yes. It was not -exactly what you
could call a sweeping- victory for Mr.
Penrose." was the reply.
The assertion of Henry W. Taft, broth
er of the President, that he had It on
good authority that- the Roosevelt forces
had already spent 41,0001000 on the cam
paign made Roosevelt angry.
"I don't believe Mr. Taft can be cor
rectly quoted," "he said. "3ut If he Is,
he has spoken a deliberate falsehood."
Concerning Taft's statement that ex
Senator Flinn informed him 50,000 had
been spent In Pittsburg to win Allegheny
County for Roosevelt thT colonel said
abruptly: "T don't know anything- about
Pennsylvania.
The colonel leaves at 4 o'clock to-mor
