City of Mexico special to the Boston Herald
says: Ell Pdrfido Liberal administration organ)
says In its leader to-day that President Clevelands
message shows the American government to be
well disposed toward Mexico, and that it seems
reasonable to suppose that the government at
Washington has perceived the magnitude and i'm
portance OF the commercial and Industrial rela-
tlons OF the two countries. Assurance Is given
that Mexico feels herself attracted by the
generous and progressive principles of the
country OF Washington. Hope Is expressed
that the citizens of the United states may
not interpret the patriotic spirit OF the Mexican
people In recent International incidents as indi-
eating hostility toward the nation with which It
Is hoped relations may become more and more In
innate and friendly. The belief is expressed that
the washington cabinet will modify Its ideas re-
garding the principal OF extra,territoriai 1uris.
dictiOn which Is maintained also by other civilized
nations. 1t is also said that this difference OF
opinion on legal point viii not prejudice the
preparation OF new treaty OF friendship and
commerce. The entire article is cordial In tone
and corresponds to the sentiments OF Minister
Mariscal. The article may be taken to express
the views OF President Diaz.
