In view of these protests the Methodist

ing the country for themselves, advising
them, however, that their women and
children should be sent to places of
saiety. This action was taken by the
two organizations after an exchange or
tolegrams with Secretary of State Bryan,
In which in reply "to a request for advice
In tho matter of withdrawal of American
missionaries from Mexico, Secretary
ryan said that his department continued
to act "in conformity with the advice
dven in the president's message of the
Sfrth instant, and all of our consular of
fices have boen instructed to assist Amor

sf safety. Men. use discretion, avoid
risk, keep In touch with, the United
States representatives, register property.
Tho . message requesting Secretary
Bryan's advlco In tho matter, dated Au
gust 26, was sent in behalf of the For

FELIX DIAZ SHIES HIS CASTOR
Alleged Exile Would Be President of
Mexico.
SAYS HE MAY NOT GO TO JAPAN
Ilefaara to Dlacnss Wilson's Mrantrr,
lint Sara Hncrtn's Candidacy la
nnrreil by the Mexlcnn
Constitution.
LONDON, Aur. 19. "I am now
definitely a candidate for president ot
Mexico." General Felix Dlas. who re
cently arrived from Canada, told the As
sociated Press this morning.
"My friends In Mexico are working in
my behalf," continued General Dlax, "Un
fortunately at this distance, I, myself, am
unalilo to do much, but 1 am awaiting In
structions which may simplify matters.
"Even If I am ordered to proceed to
Japan, It Is not certain that I shall go
I there. My action will depend on develop
1 ments In Mexico."
I General Fells Diaz apparently Is
I p,clwe d wth the cours0 of event8 ,
'Mexico, lie said that the contention that
Victor;al,0 Huerta's candidacy for the
presidency was barred by the Mexican
conMlltutlon was quite correct. He do
cl&rt.d the fact that he .was still an offi
cial representative of the Mexican gov
ernment debarred him from discussing
President Wilson's messago or the Mexi
can replies.
Diplomatic Situation Unchanged.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-The Mexican
situation was unchanged today; John
Llnd, President Wilson's personal envoy,
still was waiting at Vera Cruz, and no
advices of his plans bad come to yasu
lnglon. Secretary Bryan, returning to town for
a few hours from an over-night lecture
tour, left again, for another, to return
tomorrow. Secretary Tumulty left for a
week-end wltn his family In New Jersey.
With President Wilson at the summer
capital at Cornish, arrangements were
made to transmit any important develop
ments to him there.
Mr. Bryan, after receiving a message
from Mr. Llnd, declared the sttuatl6n un
changed. Mr. Llnd still is acting on his
own dlsi..'ctton about returning to Mexico
City.
Mar kins Time.
Indications pointed strongly to the view
that the policy of tho United States for
the next few -days will be a waiting one,
while strict neutrality is enforced and
Americans are urged , to leave Mexico.
Those who take that view, point to" Pres.
4dent Wilson's declaration" to congress In
his address that the actual situation ot
the authorities' at Mexico City will pre
sently be revealed, and that "steady pres
sure of moral force will before many days
broak down tho barrfcrs ot prldo and
prejudice."

mit to dress as a man.

and better paid," reads her letter to the
president.
"It's -no crime for a woman to wear
malo attire, yet I am locked up In Jail

you or some one else to wear the cos
tume I have adopted."
