PRESIDENT WILSON'S HOPE.
WASHINGTON, June 5. President Wilson, addressing the Naval Cadots, at New College, Annapolis, Maryland, alluded to the position in Mexico, and said: —"I pray Godtbe boys will not have to fight any moro." He added that real good Americans would do what tho Americans had dono at Vera Cruz, where they were not strutting and blustering, but managing the town's affairs and preserving law and order to the best of their ability.
Tho people of Vera Cruz, ho considered, ought to think differently of Americans thereafter, instead of hating and despising them, as Mosicans wero now doing in Mexico City.
Tho Constitutionalists k.vied a forced loan of a million dollars on- tho Spaniards at Topic, notifying them after they had got the money to leave tho city, at the peril of being cast into gaol.
