WaBhlngton. .Jum? 2. - Prealdent Wil¬ son's cabinet ia unanimous in ita in¬ dorsement of tbe vigorous iwllry to tie Bubstituted for "watchful waiting" In the attitude of the United Statea to¬ ward Mexico.
The approval came when Mr. Wilson outlined the scheme to bring about pence and order In the battle torn re- publlf, a proKram which possibly may lead the United States eventually to In¬ tervention. Mr. Wllaon will issue the statement of policy today.
It la known that nn embargo on the shipment of arms and ammunition to Mexico is regarded aa tbe alternative short of intervention which will be adopted by the administration to bring about .peace betwe<»n the warring fac¬ tions in case they do not yield at once to the demand which will be made by Mr. VVilson thnt tlicy "got together."
Such a step, officials believe, would bring about n sjicetly end to the fight¬ ing, since with nn einlmrgo in force no arms with which to flght could be ob- talped anywhere. The European coun- trlefl, becnuse of the war, could furniah none.
*Mr. Wil.son is underatood to talce the view that an embargo on the shipment of arma to Mexico, which he removed more than a year ago ao that the Con- atltutionallat.s would have no difflculty in carrying on their flght against the Huerta government, now would bring about the desired effect. At the time the embargo wna lifted Mr. Wilson con- aidered the ConstitutionalLsts aa fight¬ ing for a common cause to overthrow a usurping dictator nnd restore the rlghta of the people to govern themaelvea. Object Is Attained.
Now General Huerta ia gone, and thc Constitutlona lista to all intents and purposes are vlctorloua.
The warfare la continuing, however, and conditions are aaid to he aa bad If not far worae than they ever were. Thla, In tbe view of offlcials here, ia due to tbe factional differences be¬ tween the leadera of the armies, who are keeping up the flghting In an effort to satiafy peraonal ambitions.
Mr. Wllaon believes, as do the other leadera of the adminiatration, that tbe strife now existing ia due entirely to this cauae and no other, and this Is why he will insist that the rival gen¬ erals, Carranza and Villa, get together and settle their diSereoces. It Is tbe opinion here that the wbole people of Mexico are anxious for the return of peace and tbat the soldiers of tbe rival armies, except a few who are natural bandits, would gladly lay down their arma and return to their homes If they had an opportunity.
Misa Mabel Boardman, cbairman of the relief committee of the American Red Croaa, recommended to Prealdent Wllaon that an embargo be placed on the exportation of arms and ammuni¬ tion from tbe United States to Mexico and that the United States prevent the shipment of foodstuffs from Mexico tu tbe United Statea. Miss Boardman con¬ tends that in sending food out of the country the Mexicana are keeping It from the women and children and oth¬ er noncombatants who are In a state of starvation.

Dr. A. J. Smith, of Brobkiyia, gare a brilliant and eloquent address' on Lincoln. Addresses were also made by Doctors Curtice. Oould, Scott, Loux and Karkau. Among the many warm friends of the veterans are as- goclate members, William G. Mtlier and Superviaor Hiram R. Smith, who also made short addreases, all of theju admirable for brevity and point.
Monday, May 31, was observed as Memorial Day. In the morning the Post met at their rooms and escorted by the Woman's Relief Corps, a com pany of Boy Scouts, and a pretty band of achool children, marched to the cemetery.
About twenty-flve members of the Grand Army were present. Including two or three comrades from other Posts. The showing both aa to number and appearance according to the verdict of the citizens, was the most impressive and remarkable seen In several years. The aervlces for the dead will be long remembered. Con¬ ducted by Commander Patterson and participated in by the Poat'a oncers and the Woman'a Relief Corps, It waa grandly aimple and patriotic.
In the afternoon the trolley com¬ pany, at the request of Commander Patterson, provided a special car for the trip to Greenfleld cemetery.
A large crowd had already gath¬ ered at the grounds awaiting the Freeport delegation. Including the Hempstead band, the members of the Moses A. Baldwin Post, the Woman Relief Corps and many citizens from adjoining villages.
A platform had been erected near the soldiers' monument and from this the different speakers delivered ad¬ dresses. Comanders Patteraon and Stall took charge and made brief ad¬ dressed, following by the Rev. Mr. Aherns of the Baptist church, Hemp¬ stead. Addresses were also made by members from the Hempstead Jr. O. U. A. M. Lincoln's Gettysburg ad¬ dresa was recited by Comrade James Bennett, flowers were dedicated to the grades of fallen comrades, and the Woman's Relief Corps closed the im¬ pressive ceremonies with their touching ritual.

Baseball,
tHy Special Correspondent.,» Four farcical ball games were In¬ dulged In by the South Side League teams over the week-end. The Free- port club, with their confldence aome¬ what shaken as a reault of their de¬ feat at the hands of the Merrick ag¬ gregation last week, met Rockville Centre, and were completely out¬ classed in both their Saturday after¬ noon and Decoration Day gamea. Rockville Centre is justly proud of a hard hitting, sharp fielding nine com¬ posed of experienced ball players, and the efforts of the local club to hold them to a reaaonabltj score was en¬ tirely unavailing. It would be a dif¬ flcult matter to summarize tbe weaa- ness of the team, for their flelding is ordinarily good, and tbeir batting is hard and consistent. There seems to exist, however, a lack of gr.ay matter on the vart of a majority of the play¬ ers, which manifests itself in the con¬ tinuous pulling of bonehead plays, both in the fleld and on the bases. If they could resist their tendency to do the wrong thing at the wrong time, and refrain from crude work on the paths, their material is of sufficiently good calibre to form a winning coai¬ binatlon.
The Elks suffered their customary fate In losing both games to the Mer¬ rick club. The uaual handicap of in¬ ability to get their men out, was to a certain extent responsible for the dou¬ ble slaughter, althougli witbout-a stronger battery, It is a matter of grave doubt whether they will ever be able to come out on the credit aide of the ledger. Their flelding in the flret game was commendable, but aa the Merrick team drove out 21 hits, mostly for extra bases, the outcome was, of course, never in doubt. The second game at Merrick was a first class affair until the seventh inning, the score at that time being two all. Cartmell, who had pitched airtight ball, then weakened badly, and was found for nine clean drives, which, coupled with brutually poor fielding, enable Merrick to put 12 runs over. The work of the Elks' outfield In this fatal seventh was poaslbly as atroc¬ ious a combination of glaring fum¬ bles as it is the privilege of the casual observer to witness during the entire courae of a lifetime. The In¬ fleld work was better, but bad.

Albany. N. Y., June 2.—Tbe up state public service commlsalon hns approved the corporate merger of tbe New York. Westchester and Boaton railway and the Westchester Northern railroad. The New York, Westchester and Bos¬ ton at preaent operates over tbe Har¬ lem River and Portchester tracks from Unrlem river to One Hnndred and Sev¬ enty-fourth street.

The Westchester Northern la to be built from the New York, Westchester «nd Boaton terminal at White Plains, forming a continuous line of road through Weatcbeater conn¬ ty to Danbury, Conn., with a branch to Brewster, Putnam county.
The record ahowa thnt the Westches¬ ter Northern l.s to conatnict Its line in Connecticut iitider the Connecticut atatute and that the time within whicb It must expend 10 per cent of its cap itnl stock and complete the construc¬ tion of its roud wna extended by tbe last New York legislature to flve and ten years, respoctlvely, from March 1 last.

The capital stock of the new com¬ pany, to be culled the "New York. Weatcbeater and Boston Railway com- I>any," will not exceed in nmount the aum of tho stock of the two present companies at i>ar. and no l)onds or oth er evidences of Indebtedness are to be Isaued in consideration of the consoli¬ dation.
Albany. N. Y.. June 2.-Pptition.'< have been showered upon thc members of the constitutional convention during the laat few dAys In prote'^t against the proposeil amendment problbltlnR the exemption from taxation of the property of Ivllgiotis. charitable nnd educational inatitutiona.
This sentiment crystiilllzeii at a hear¬ ing in the aenate chambers before the convention's taxation committee upou thc amendment of Jamea I.. Nixon, which would compel thla claas of prop¬ erty to pay taxea.
While there were only three appear¬ ances In favor of the amendment, there were dozens of prominent citi¬ zens from all pnits of the stnte on hand In opposition. It was apparent at the conclusion of the hearing that the amendment will never l)e reporte<l from the taxatlpn committee and that the plan to tax this property will fall.
