Carson. New, March cit required but
trifling stretch OF the imagination to
make Eastern visitors believe that they
were camping out when they woke this
morning. Window sills were banked high
with snow, and without great flakes were
spattering everything with soggy splash.
a coating OF slush and snow obscured
the sidewalks and the highways were
ankle deep in mud.
The big fellows are not worrying over
the capricious elements. Both OF them
know that they are fit now and only
require enough Work to keep their joints
from stlffening.
The Australian fretted about the house
this morning for three hours before he de-
cided to venture out He then tailed on
behind a fast horse and buggy and booted
into Carson, weighting himself down with
q coat Of mud at every step. HnTrying
back he set all hands 10 work boarding up
the interior OF his gymnasium, tius con-
verting it into a small handban court.
This done, he produced d set OF tennis
balls and shuffled around in :he little
room and gave Roeber a few points in
Corbett's favorite game. When he had
worked up a little perspiration, Bob turned
to new punching bag and whacked the
stitches from two seams before the end of
twenty-one minutes. After this the Fegu-
lation amount of boxing and wrestling fol-
lowed, concluding with vigorous rub
down.
IF this snow keeps up I'll show some
OF these Holsters how TO play handball, '"
declared Corbett after breakfast today.
AL Hampton and Brother Joe were quick
to pick up the def, and everybody adj
journed to the ball court. The champion
did not make good his boast, but he kept
both his opponents on the move TO win.
without stopping TO rest, or showing the
slightest trace of fatigue Jim called out
his sparring partners and took each OF
them on for four rounds. They worked
hard, but could not even make him puff.
After his hard days work Jim waltzed
around the court, and slugged at an inn
aginary opponent while his rub down was
being prepared.
There is no indication of break in the

WAR FEELING In MEXICO
Senior Romero DenOunceS the Story
That Amy Exists.
He Says President Diaz's Death or
Retirement Would Not Disturb
the Existing Comfy.

Senior Romero, the Mexican minister,
Guadalajara, Mexico, reporting that the
Mexicans are almost ready for war with
the United States.
The dispatch says that the people Of
Mexico are intensely aroused over the
mission to that republic of three gentle
men named Bruce, Stone and Pierce, or
Boston, who wish to negotiate with the
Mexican government for the return of the
flags captured by the Mexican troops
during the war of 1S4T. 1t says the
newspapers are denouncing America and
Americans in most Incendiary language,
going so far as to demand, at the cannon's
mouth, il necessary, the return of all
territory taken by this country from Mex
leo, including California. Colorado, Nevada,
Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.
$50 strong is the sentiment against
Americans says the dispatch, that Ia
dies are openly insulted in the streets and
stores. 1t is acknowledged that only the
iron rule of President Diaz prevents
collision, and it is predicted that his
death or resignation would be followed by
q war with the United States in six
months
Times reporter saw Minister Romero
yesterday relative to this very sen sa-
tional story.
u see the Mexican newspapers-all the
important ones-regularly. FL Nacional,
referred to in the dispatch, read very
carefully. They have contained no such
incorporate language against the United
States.
"Such an outburst might have occurred
since / received the last issue of Ell
Nac;onal, but the Mexican government has
given me absolutely no intimation of IL.
The story has the appearance Of being en-
tirely newspaper fabrication. j had
seen the first part of the dispatch before,
but the last sentence was not published in
the paper 1 read, probably because it was
so nonsensical.
TIE resignation or death Of President
Diaz would not endanger the relations
between the two countries. They would
continue most friendly, no matter who is
president. That Portion of the story lis
utterly hey ond credence or excuse
Senior Romero. Will communicate with
his government in relation to The matter
and hopes to soon have an official refuta-
ton of the statements made.
