EVENTS IN MEXICO.
Interesting Budget From the Land OF ths
Montezumas.

City of Mexico. great nation
al holiday commemorating the defeat
Of the French at Puebla during the
war of intervention was celebrated
all over the country Friday, In this
city several. hundred people witnes-
sed the military procession, which in
cluded all the troops of the garrison
and some from other places, and the
famous rural guards, Mexico's crack
cavalry corps The streets along the
line of march were handsomely deco
rated, and the balconies were filled
with people. President Diaz reviewed
the troops from the balcony Of the ma
tional palace.
Ell Continente Americana, the local
organ of the Cuban colony, points out
that the heavy investment Of American
capital in Cuban plantations means for
Mexico tremendous competition in all
her tropical products now exported, and
urges on Mexico the necessity Of pro-
viding to meet her rivals in the coming
struggle of the near future.
The local organs of the Spanish colo
ny accuse the American soldiers In tn
Philippines with committing all sorts of
barbarities, and cite letters sent home
by privates in the American army
wherein they are alleged to boast Of
the killing of prisoners of war and the
looting of houses.
The report telegraphed from Nicara-
uga that Mexico was aiming to extend
southwark and take the Central Amer
lean republics under her protection, is
utterly unfounded,. Mexico has no
policy Of aggression and its admins
tration solely desires to give its atten-
ton to the development of the re-
sources of this country. The policy of
the Mexican government is strict at
tention to the affairs of Mexico.

Washington. II. @. Curtis,
of the insular commission, has return
ed to Washington, after his visit
with the other members of the com
mission to Porto Rico. Mr.. Curtis
stopped in Cuba and reports that he
found large majority of the respon-
sible people of that island advocating
annexation. Among those with whom
he talked was ex President Maso, who
is avowedly favorable to the policy
of making the island a part OF the
United States. Gen. Maso told him
that the planters and business men
generally were favorable to immediate
annexation and that, indeed, their feel
ings were unanimous except in the
cases of some soldiers who were ambi-
tious for trial of independent govern
ment, and also in that of some of those
who are now drawing rations from the
United States. 1t is Mr.. Curtis ur-
derstanding that crisis Will be or
dered and that an election to decide
the future of the island will soon fol-

London-In a police court here Fri
day afternoon Baron Hector Dupen-
mark was arraigned on the charge of
forging certain cablegrams in the
name of Count Moro with reference to
certain Chinese railway concessions

false pretenses. Count Moro, the pros
ecuting witness, on cross examination,
admitted that his real name is Phillips.
He said that he is the son of a manu-
featuring chemist in Philadelphia, and
that he had adopted the title for busi.

RUTHLESSLY OlSREGARDEO.
German Interests Have Been Transgressed

German Interests Have Been Transgressed
by America and England.
Berlin. The belief has taken COM
plete possession of the public mind in
Germany that German interests in Sa-
moa have been brutally and ruthlessly
disregarded by both England and the
United States. 1t seems that this view
is steadily gaining strength with nearly
all classes The press certainly reflects
the sentiment with increasing violence.
The government has done nothing the
past week either TO fortify or to dispel
this trend of public opinion. The gov
eminent press has been strangely silent
on the subject. The agrarian newspa-
pers and many other journals have seiz-
ed the occasion of the birthday ami
versary of te imperial minister for for
eign affairs, Baron Won Buelow, to Sc
verelv attack him of what they style
his supine disregard of Germany's le-
gitimate interests in Samoa and his al
legged obsequiousness toward Great
Britain and the United States. The
matter of claims for damages, both
in Samoa and the Philippine islands,
for German property destroyed in re-
cent engagements has also been in
iected into the press discussion with
singularly growing excitement, the as
sertion being made that the United
States meant to disregard these Just
Claims The imperial foreign Office,
however has done nothing to create or
foster this condition of public feeling,

Jackson gets the colored cotton fac
tory, thanks to the earnest efforts OF
the Board of Trade and the Business
League. Canton offered more for the
location, perhaps, but the committee
Of the directors to whom was entrusted
the location. were convinced that site
at Jackson was far more valuable
than one at Canton, and that in the
course of time they would be amply
repaid for placing the factory here by
the securing Of a better point of dis
tribution, cheaper freight rates, etc,
and agreed that if the people Of
Jackson would give them an eligible
site of forty acres in the suburbs Of
the town, they would build right
here. James Hill, the moving factor
in the factory scheme, says there is
no doubt the enterprise will be es-
tablished, that the colored men Of the
state are very enthusiastic over the
affair, and that they are subscribing
right along for the stock. He expects
to begin work Of construction during
the summer.
