them were excursionists who had come for

an appeared His appearance was greeted
with cheers, applause and some endeavors
to grasp his hand. AS soon as the confusion
had subsidized he began speaking, closing at
5 o'clock. In substance he spoke as fol-
lows:

lions, forget that there Is such thing as

constant remembrance, the good and glory

NEW ERA In MEXICO.
Financial Circles Elated Over United
States Money Coming In.

CITY OF MEXICO, July 27.-The an
nouncement is made here that the Equitable
Life Insurance Company, of New York had
subscribed for 100000 of Mexicos new 5
per cent gold bond issue. and it has created
a most favorable impression in financial
circles. The success OF that portion of the
new bonds allotted to the United States has
aroused much comment, for 1t is now seen
that a new era in the relations of Ameri-
can investors and capitalists TO Mexico has
dawned. European interests here naturally
do not look with favor on this new and
favorable attitude of American investors
and bankers toward Mexico and all organs
of reaction and those controlled by Euro
pean interests are much annoyed.
The City of Mexico Is practically being
rebuilt and building permits have been
granted IN number in excess of any previous
time In its municipal history.
