THE SLUMP IN SILVER
THREATENS BANKRUPTCY TO
MEXICO
Exchange Rising-Prominent Finan-
ciers Consider the Situation Too
Gloomy to Speculate Upon

ST. LOUIS, August IA special to
the Globe-Democrat from Mexico City
says: The continual fall in silver and
the corresponding rise in exchange have
brought face to face with what may be
a serious crisis No sophistry can hide
the real condition of affairs here. 1t is
all very we'll to say that Mexico can live
within herself and can raise on silver
basis natural products that she can
sell abroad on a gold basis. This would
be perfectly satisfactory if there was
such an enormous increase of wealth
reSulting from such conditions that the
country could bear high rate of tax
alton in order that the government
might be able to meet its debt
interest abroad without any ex-
ira strain. At this moment Mexican
bonds are unaltered in London, princi-
pally owing to the scrupulous exactness
under the most distressing conditions
with which their interest has been met
These debts are in gold and their inter-
est has to be met in gold, and at this
cessive and it is only matter of time,
unless there is-a favorable change in sill
yer, when this republic will be unable
to stand it.
Reputation has an ugly sound, but
something very much like it under pres
ent circumstances must result The
railway corporation and other foreign
companies here have to meet gold in
terest with medium that is ever de-
creaSing IN value. 1t does not matter
however great the business and the ca
pacity for making money, because the
NO PANIC
CITY OF MEXICO, Aug. 7.-There is
no panic in commercial circles The pre-
diction of a still lower price for silver
made by Director Preston of the United
States mint, was published here by
newspapers and much commented upon.
The government will punctually meet its
gold interest on debts held in Europe and
also in the city of Mexico.

Murdered for Money

UKIAH, Aug. flames Spotwood, a
resident of Potter's valley, in this
county, was found dead on the roadside,
near Bartlett Springs, with his throat
cut from ear to ear. But meager par
ticuars of the tragedy have been
learned. Spotwood left his home near
Ukiah some months ago to work during
the summer in the Sacramento valley.
Last week he is said to have completed
his labors and left for home, accom-
panied by friend with whom he had
been working. The two men reached
Bartlett Springs and shortly after the
body of Spotwood was found in the
brush near the roadside With horrible
gasih in his throat. His companion has
not yet been seen since their arrival at
Bartletts, and as no money was found
in the pockets of the dead,man's cloth
ing, suspicion points to him as the muir
derer.
