thousand acres of fruit land in the vicinity
of Tampico, Mexico, is at the Palace. He
said: There is, think, a strong fOunda-
ton in fact for the rumors of a threatened
revolution in Mexico. The whole trouble
is that there is strong feeling Of unrest,
and this has been aggravated by the sue
cess of the Chilean insurgents. You see
President Diaz Is an Indian himself. Well.
when he was President he conceived the
idea of making soldiers of the bandits who
infested the country, and there is where he
missed it. He told them that if they would
abandon their evil ways lie would put them
on the payroll as soldiers and would ap-
point one OF their number in each county
General. Many Of them acqiesced and the
rest were shot. Now, most Of these soldiers
are peon Indians, and they are making the
trouble. Three weeks ago one of the Cen
erals was shot for trying to incite rebel
lion, and this added to the discomfort.
Next Garcia started out, and now Diaz's
soldiers are pursuing him. From what
know CT the situation l am convinced that
serious trouble Is brewing, and would not
DC surprised any day TO hear of an outbreak
at San Luis Potosi. The poems are very
numerous there and all disaffected. Times
are very hard, in fact, and they imagine
change would be for the best. Again the
old bandit spirit Is being revived, and they
are of course opposed to DiaZ, who has
ruled them with an iron hand. think the
President Is master of the situation ald
could suppress any uprising, but the revolt
Is likely tU be a formidable one"
