speaking only Spanish, and, when neces-
sary, utilizing an Interpreter. In convers-

An Interview With President Diaz.
We found the president In reception
room hung with the famous Maximilian
tapestries. and he sat down and chatted
sociably with US for half an hour, appar-
emily oblivf0us or careless of the fact that
a crowd including high government OFF,
cial cooled their heels in the ante-cham-
ber.
The interview was not a formal, pre-
arranged affair to furnish the basis of
newspaper publication. but the president
talked Interestingly on many subjects in
the course of the desultory conversation.
He evidently appreciates fully the value
Of the right sort Gf American tn de-
veloping the material resources of the
country which he governs. The man who
builds and manages Mexican railroads and
the man who develops the republics min
leans. In this connection he spoke in warm
terms of ex-Gov. Alexander r. Shepherd,
who has spent great sums Of money in
making highly profitable the mines of Ba-
topilas In northern Mexico. President Dia1
inquired particularly as to Mr.. Shepherds
whereabouts Che was then in Europe), and
said that he had at least two American
friends in whom he could place at all times
the fullest and most unquestiOnfng re-
lance. One Of them. he said, was Shep-
herd. and the other Huntington, the rail-
road magnate.
Admiration was expressed of the wonder

of Mexico. lofty Chapultepec, and of the
Paseo or driveway leading to 1t. with its
magnificent statues Of Guatemozin. Column
bus and Charles Nv. Diaz did not display
any special enthusiasm on the subject OF
natural scenery. He intimated that so far
as these particular scenes were concerned.
they were so familiar to him that he had
come to take them much as a matter of
course.
In response to a complimentary reference
to the good order prevailing today in Mex
co. Diaz spoke freely upon the subject. He
was evidently pleased and proud at what
he had already accomplished in this direc-
ton. but in view Of the comparatively re-
cent date of the full supremacy of the law
he deprecated an expectation of precisely
the same settled conditions everywhere in
that republic which he assumed to exist
everywhere in the United States.

Is MexfcO's Autonomy In Danger.
Has Mexico reason to fear the invading
Americans, even though they bear gifts?
Not at present, and probably never. AS

belt of desert and forDilding territory sepa-

The United States must and will control

Millions of the MeXicans are not in condi-
ton to be aSsmilated in real republic like
the United States. The government though
admirable and the one best adapted to ex-
fsting circumstances, is not of and by the
people, The elections have often been mere

by him to the United States, 1 asked
whether he was prohibited by law or Gus
tom from going outside of the republics
Jurisdiction during his term of Office. He
replied that the rule on that subject had
been even more stringent than at present;
that when he first became president the
law made of that official a prisoner within
the federal district, forbidden to step foot
outside its limits; and that he finally sue
ceeded in securing the amendment of this
law, so that now he can visit any part of
Mexico. though he may not go beyond Its
borders. He added dryly that the Mexican
presidents were not inclined at any time to
view this confinement, SO to speak, as
punishment. and intirnated that any one In
the past who was SO fortunate as to hold
the presidency was apt to prefer to stay
close to the seat of government in order to
be sure Of retaining 1t.
Characteristics of the President.
Diaz IS an older man. smaller man
physically, though strongly built. and
much dsrker man than photographs and
paintings Of him had caused me to expect to
meet He is sixty-fve years of age. though
he looks considerably .yOunge r. and the In
dian blood in his veins, Of which he is
proud. imparts decided shade to his COM
plexion. He gives the impression Of a man
of great force. but with powers under per-
feet restraint He seems what he is gen.
orally conceded to be. 'The right man in
the right place" He has been the power
either on the throne or behind the throne
since 1877. and he will reign, all elements
of the people enthusiastically asserting, as
long as he lives. 1t is also expected that
he will exercise the kingly prerogative Of
selecting his successor; indeed. the name
of the man supposed to have been chosen
for this honor is already whispered in the
inner circles.
Diaz is Of the mixed Spanish and Indian
race which controls Mexico The oppres-
sions by the mother country apparently
soured the Spanish blood in Mexican
veins. Descendants of the Spanish conquer
ors fought by the side of descendants of
the conquered Aztscs against Spain as
common enemy. Irrespective of ancestry
they merged into the Mexican-American.
1t is curious how the see-saw of time and
fate has sent the murdered Guatemoz.n
up and the conquering Cortes down in
AZtec-Spanish land. Guatemozin's bones
have moldered undiscovered somewhere in
the vast forests of Central America, where
COrtes hanged him, they would occupy
the place of honor in Mexico'S Pantheon.
The most impressive statue in the Mexican
capital is the magnificent representation Of
Guatemozin on the Paseo, reverenced by
the Indians. and erected and admired by
men with the blood of the Spanish con-
querors in their veins. The companion
piece to Guatenozin's statue on the Paseo

4 S5D;0O Apple Tree.
I'hiladeiuhia Record.

From the Ihiladeiphfa Record.
An expensive, apple tree stands on the
Albert Smith ia Sm' in South strabane town
ship. near Washington. Pa. 1t has cost its
owner over s4s00G. In 1887. when the
Smith pooI-guJhers commenced to break
the Oil market apd rnin SPECTATORS. the
company which. held the lease on the
Smith farm. decided to locate well near
the boundary line of the Cameron and
Smith properties.
The owner of the land objected to the
location, claiming that if made on the spot
chosen favorltei apple tree would have
to be cut down.'i The manager Of the drill
ing company, believing that the location
was a promising one, decided to gain his
end and get even with the troublesome
land owner tfthe' sama time.
He had the tirnbers hauled few feet,
changed the intended positions of the der
rick and boiler house, placed them just
across the line on the Cameron farm and
drilled the hole within a few feet Of the
original location. The well produced 3,/N
barrels of oil PEI. day. A large percentage
of this petroleum must have come from
under the Smith farm, but the hole was on
Cameron's land, and he, of course, re-
ceived the royalty. The well is still pro-
ducing oil and the Camerons share of the
output has reached over $4,000.
The apple tree still lives, but has been
ruined by the closeness of the well.
