fttronr for Wrtr
Leadera in congress for several days
had been discussing informally the
necessity for an unequivocal declara
tion of war, for a sweeping campaign
in necelauauuoyty wtw ftwthed b trw
in Mexico and for the ultimate es
tablishment by force of American arms
of peace and constitutional govern
ment In Mexico.
'No swell from, the undercurrent
reached the surface today, however,
but members in both house and sen

most restive over the situation to
night after learning o fthe mediation

Mexican Crisis and Heavy Foreign

(By Associated Press)
New York, April 26.-There was fur.
?her ?e?*tti?tn?iii| trutoy nf >ii. stock
market The ??ovenient was irregular
and at tlmtt Confused. While the
downward movement was extended,
net losses were considerably smaller
than on the preceding day.
The irregularity ot the movement
waa accounted for by the play of con
flicting force? ?n the market. The two
main factors in the weeks decline were
the Mexican crisis and heavy foreign
selling.
Today these influences pulled
against each other. Foreign pleasure
was relieved, and American stocks in
terested, for the first time In several
days, held fairly steady. On the other
hand, the Mexican situation was as
t?nch of a disturbing force as before.
Pr?parations for war? and the re
ported assassination of Americans in
Mexico seemed to increase the prob
ability of a serious and protracted
struggle, and there was corresponding
depression of sentiment at the opening,
owing largely to .tho change of front
on the part of tho Oreat Northern
holders ot American-securities.

Secretary of Navy Says News

to Spread the Error
(By Associa tn! 1'ross) i
Washington, April 2*.-Secretary of
State Bryan today emphatically denied
wldespread and persistent reports that
he would resign from the cabinet.
When informed of published reports
I hat be wnnld relinquish his post
should war be declared against Maxi,
cn Mr. Bryan said:
..The subject of my resignation hus
never been illsrussed with anybody nor
thoaght of by ase."
Whit? lfou??t IMML
White house officials pointed to the
general denial issued a few days ago
of the story that Secretary Bryan
would resign, saying that statement
was sufficient to cover all rumors of
cabinet dissension. They said they
did ont regard it as necessary to re
peat tho denial with each published
report.
Outside of the white house there has
been considerable discussion of the'
individual views known to.be held by
members of the cabinet on the present
situation. None ot these ls said to bo
serious or approaching any breach In
thje president's official family, but
there have natural differences of op
inion as to what aggressive measures
should be pursued.
^l^^'^ol ^?^^^^^^^^f m^ '
steered > middle course between those
who.fwvor ? quickly aggressive policy
abd those who believe war can be best
avoided by patient observation and
carefully deliberated action.
Persons close to the administration
described the divergence of views as
the product of natural differences
ar.ong these charged with responsi
bility for executive action. Officials
point out, for Instance, that the war
department ls naturally anxious to
take every reasonable precaution with
its military torosa and the navy is
bending its energies ?ihevige to per
fecting its preparations for actual
warfare.
They say also that the state depart
iucai, which is directly responsible
for relations with other foreign gov
ernments, and which is trying through
diplomacy to prevent aggressive move
ments which might aggravate action
by the Constitutionalists, and the Mex.
lean people as a whole, ls busily oc
cupied In friendly repression of the
spirit of its allied departments. AU
the cabinet secretaries themselves de
nied that there is any serious division
and point to their close and frequent
conferences as evidence of their co
operation.
The rumors of Mr. Bryan's intention
to retire from the cabinet in various
contingencies are ascribed by his
friends to sentiments uttered hy the
secretary early in his' Incumbency.
Among other things, in speaking on
the subject of universal peace, he has
said lhere would be no war while he
was secretary of state. The secre
tary's purpose, lt ls explained, was to
emphasize his general conviction that
the growing feeling of disapproval of
warfare could be relied upou to pre
vent tho country from drifting into
war.
Secretary Daniels, In discussing
newspaper reports of cabinet friction
said:
"There ls not now, and never has
/been the slightest dissension in the
cabinet. At a lime like this my private
judgment as a newspaper man is that
the press owes it as a patriotic duty
not to spread such reports."
