Relations Of ,hs Government with MEXICO
Washington, July little attitude
of the administration Toward the Diaz
government has been the subject of
active inquiry to-day, numerous ru-
inois having been put afoat within the
lai5t twenfy-iOur hours, that Diaz would
be recugnIz d at once. Tile reports
favorable to Diaz seem to have Deem In
spired by friends OF his government
here. The latter seem to have full con
fidence that Senior Malta will be imIne-
diately received as the Representative
of Diaz's de facto government i'm Mex
leo. In Cabinet circles, however, it is
said our government still sees no reason
for haste in n c6gnizing Dhiz, and II lie
is recognized hereafter it will be only Il
conditional recognition. The views of
tile state Department regarding Mexi-
Gu, soon to be- laid before tue President
1T length in writing, require the
strongest guarantees of good order
