Secretary Garrison announced that a brigade of infantry and some artillery, under Brig. Gen. Fredrick 0>gj Funston, had been ordered to embark on the our army transport at Galveston for Vera Cruz, to support Qpn the expeditionary forces of marines , and bluejackets there. The chance that Gen. Maas, the federal general, EE might make a return attack on Vera Cruz with reinforcements, and fthe possible necessity of a forward m<Aoment toward Mexico City to protect 'Mnl fleeing Americans and the Vera Cruz railroad, were the underlying reasons for the military movement. j, The restoration of the embnrgo on ium arms was officially announced after ,jRy the pronouncement of Gen. Carranza, out the constitutionalist chief, that he re- nogi garded the seizure of Vera Cruz as a nor. violation of Mexican sovereignty, had moc i o been so considered by the administra- an(i tion. While Mexican constitutional- utte ists here protested that. Carranza's Ktat real attitude was friendly, the Amer- mGt lean government decided to take no fer chances, and abruptly stopped the jum shipment of all arms into Mexico. Df / President Wilson ear'ier In the e(j \ day had issued a statement warning i)0n, uvo. uarranza, tne consuiutionailsts serv chief, that the United States was deal mor log now and would continue to deal ^ with those whom Huerta commands "and those who come to h's sup> Port-" Colt Both Nelson O'Shaughnessy, the ^al( American charge d'affaires, and Senor Algara, the charge d'affaires , r I\.* of the Mexican embassy, have been given their passports. This is not regarded by the Washington government as presaging war but a declaration of war by Huerta would not be a unexpected. M. The United States has chosen for Brazil to look after its interests in not Mexico. Where there are no Brazil- mur lan consuls French consuls will act 'vicb for the United States. Natl President Denies it is State of War. beei Vj Washington, April 23.?President ral Wilson told the Washington corre- 6d 1 spondents today that so far as his au- ter f thorlty was concerned the United T States was not in a state of war with Kan Mexico. ? ,v c,da i rrwmwii said tnat while Charge O'Shaughnessy had been forv giren his passports and Charge Al-? r>eri gara had been granted his In return'. cr'nr such a step, while always preoediiffe r war, did not always result In war. mot Mr. Wilson explained the American new government was somewhat surprised mot by the Issuance of passports to ca*e O'Sbaughnessy. whe The president referred to the orlsis pon< as serious and said he thought It was befo his duty In discussing It now to eon- in* fine himself to facts, not revealing fujn what steps of policy would be tahen pCflt / In the future. No orders have been issued to the army, he said,'nor hhs mor the embargo on arms been restored tbe with reference to the constitutionallata. Mr. Wilson said he considered the nvin inun mi LHKPii as reprisals and | measures "short of war." 8l At present the president pointed ton out that military operations were eon Govt v fined merely to holding Vera Cruz toda , and its outskirts. No blockade has Sess been declared. evtd Clen Villa Adjures War with I'nited Rchc States. Tent El Paso. April 23.?Gen.
