BARRETT I EXPLAINS Mediation Proposal Mis understood; No Cause for a Sensation Washington. Feb 16 The claah between Director John Barren of tho Pan-American union and the Btalo department over Barrett's proposal for a "mediation commission" lo bring shout peace in Mexico 1h hard ly lesB a sensation in official circled bare than the Mexican situation Itself. The two affairn divide attention to day. The stare department's memoran dum Isst nljrht, characterizing Direc tor Barrett's proposal as 'mischievous activity, sentimentality nnd amatenr politics," dropped Into official cir cles like a bomb Coupled with the protest of the American colonv In Mexico City, forwarded by Ambassa dor Wilson, It produced a sltuutlon startling to Bay the least. The Pan-American union Is sup ported by the United States and the republic of Central nnd South Amer ica. Each pays toward Its support by contributions hasd on populaUou and each uation has one vote in the selection of a director. Defends Proposal. Director Barrett this morning gave ont a statement defending his medi ation proposal. He said ho honestly believed that hir action would tend to strengthen the attltlude of the ad ministration against Intervention. 'To brand as amateur politics the subject of medletlon by a great and accepted broad and practical agency of International friendship and to call as mischievous activity and sentimen tality the application of international co-operation to stop Immodlate actual flgtlng nnd protect lives seems to he tho result of misunderstanding of what I actually had In mind," the di rector said Letter Made Public. "In view of the complaint of tbe American colony and the attitude of the state department, I am forced In self defense to make public a fact that I would Infinitely preier never to mention, were I not the subject of euch criticism. "Late last night, before I had been informed of the report front Idexti I City. I received an anonymous let ter As beat I can recall and quote, It waB as follows: ' 'A friend of yourself aud your southern republics, I want to warn you. You are in dauger of attack from two opposite sources on account of the statement you have given out In regnrd to the settlement of ihe 1 Mexican situation One of theao is a certain Influence that wants Inter eutlon and military occupation audi is bitter against the President and tbe state department for their hold- Ing out against Intervention. Having I so far failed In that direction. It Is j now Incensed at you and may turn on I you, both here and In Mexico. There Is at the head of a great department ' a man who dislikes you and every thing South American.' Cannot Believe Statement. "I cannot believe, that this anony mous statement Is worthy of actual credence. I have the most profound respect and regard for tho head of the state department, who which ihi6 letter may have referred, and I don't believe for a moment that it refera to him It must refer to some subor dinate, but who he is I cannot imagine." ADVANCING ON JUAREZ Trouble Across Border Feared Between Reb els and Volunteers El Paso, Tex . Feb. 15 A general movement of rebel forces toward Jua rez was begun early today, aceordlni; to ranchmen arriving here. Rebel agents here have opened negotiations with the federal commander in Jua rez for proclaiming a truce. Authorities here fear trouble across the border because the lederal vol unteers are not disposed to Join the Diaz revolution. Of the 1000 government forces at Juarez nearly one-half of them are regulars, officered by the chiefs who fought in the Madero revolution and have since remained loyal to Presi dent Madero. Will Quit If Madero Does. Colonel Inez Icarate. the volunteer commander, has declared that in the event of Madero's defeat he will diu band his troops. "We will quit if Madero does." he declared today. But f'olonel Juan N 'asciucz. a 1 regular, insists that he is in full com mand of the Juarei garrison. Rebel agents say that Vasquez and his of ficers tend toward recognizing the Diaz revolution. Salazar Leading 1200 Men. The rebels offer to bring General Inez Salazar, who leads more than 1200 rebels, Into Juarez and assist the regulars if any trouble occurs with the volunteers Salazar's forces for some days have been camped within' 5) miles of Juarez along the Mexi can Northwestern railway No telegraph or railways are oper a ting below Juarez and no word has been received for two days from the American seel ion in the rasas Cm ti des district or at Chihuahua, the state capital Expect to Enter Peacefully. Manuel L. Lujan. rebel agent, re turned from a visit today to General Salaar's camp and reported that un der no circumstances would the reb els make an attack on Juarez Tliey expected, however, to enter the town peacefully as the Carravero rebels had done at Chihuahua City. In case of trouble between the regular and olunteer troops. Lujan said. Sala zar was ready to assist the regulars if they joined the Diaz revolution. "General Orozco's whereabouts re mains in doubt," said Lujan. "I could not find him. Salazar claims com plete leadership of the northern reb els in view of Orozco's disappear: ance. and I was made sole rebel agent in tho United States." TAFT HAS SENT NO COMMUNICATIONS Washington.
