ITALIANS DIssArIsTrEp.
Many Are Trying to Come to Unitea
states from Mexico,

StNttA mexico,
Mexico City, August S.--Leading Ital-
ians here are talking OF The reported at
tempt to cross the Texas border Into the
United States OF he Italian loborerg
brought here from italy They say that
there is combination OF circumstances
working against the naturalza lion of Ital-
ians in Mexico; in the first place. che
average Italian has u great fear Of the
yellow fever, to which emlgrants OF that
nationality seem to be subject One OF
the chief causes also Is that the Italians
find that on coming to Mexico they are
cut on from all the comforts that they
were used 10 at home, so thas they are
forced 10 buy many imported articles to
which they are accustomed and when
are sold at high figures In Mexico. This
at once places them AT q disadvantage as
compared with native laborers, who can
live on native produces. Thus, the Italian
soon becomes discontinued here because
he knows from coming In contact with his
fellow countrymen from the Unltod States
that the American dollar goes farther in
the United States, SO far as Italian LABOR
10 concerned, than two Mexican dollars in
Mexico.
Speaking OF the reports that 1000 ltaI-
ians OF the laboring class attempted 10
cross over the border into the United
States, whore they feel that they can
live better on the wages they get than
they could here. but reports OF the mum
Der attempting to cross the border are
greatly exaggerated, for there Is probably
only in the neighborhood of 1000 Ital-
ians in the Republic OF Mexico OF whom
some 400 are In this city and many OF the
1000 are permanent citizens. residents OF
the republic; thus this would reduce the
number OF those attempting TO cross inc
border to a comparatively small number
