TOAST OF CAHAVERO
SENTIMENT or ESTEEM FOR
 UNITED STATES.
He Declares That the Resistance of
 Juarez to the Armies of Napoleon TIT Saved North American Republic.

iivered by Alfred Cahavero, on behalf of the Mexican delegation at a banquet in honor of the Pan-America delegation of other delegates was noteworthy on ac- count of friendliness for the United States. MT. Cahayero said in part:
 Without doubt you have come hither with the desire and Inspiration of draw ing closer the bonds of American frater- nifty. of harmopisingl reciprocial interests and attaining through union prosperity aud strength. But also think that you have been actuated by another senti- Enent still more gratifying to us, viz The good will entertained by the repub- lies which you severaily represent, to- wards Mexico. And this makes us still proudsr. for all of you together consti- tute a world. This good will Is natural on the part of the nations of Central and South America on account of the simi- larisy of origin and the identity of speech Our custom, our racial ideas are the same: the languages of Brazil and Hayti are at least of the Latin stock: all of us have the same feelings; the same way CT tEtnking; the, same aspirations. and sM the lan&uase is the living token of the independent life of the people, the common parentage of our speech ought to constitute a solidarity of autonomy.
 gro the United States we are bound by similar institutions and a community of interests, but more intimately still by historical bond that no man may un- loose. The republic of the. north, was astounding Europe by its progress, realized in less than a century's indepen- dent existence. and its indnustries and commerce. ever on the increase, had be- gan to awaken jealousy. But just at that moment the Southern States rebell- ed with the aim of seeding from the American Union. Then Napoleon the Third conceived the idea which he char acterized as the greatest of his reign. That Idea was to invade Mexico to es- tablish here an empire; to support the secesslonist States in order thus to bring republican institution into disrepute and to cause the dismemberment of the great northern republic which would have in- vited the curtailment of It's industries, its commerce and it's power. The under taking seemed easy; his instructions to Forey were simply to Do 1t quickly and we'll If this idea had succeeded, it cer- tainly would have been the greatest of his reign but Mexico resisted heroically for more than four years and the United States had an opportunity to put down the rebellion and assure It's national unity. As soon as 1t succeeded in doing that, 1t paid Napoleon in his own coin by insisting on the withdrawal of his army. Juarez had saved his fatherland and had also by his resistance con- tributed in the salvation of the American people and we may say of the entire continent On that account he is saluted as the Bene Merito de America, as one who has deserved well of the Americas. We already had the Monroe doctrine safeguard of the new world: the Diaz doctrine constitutes its complement and the Diaz doctrine may be expressed in this apothegm: The international law of America Is founded on peace. which in its turn depends on the respect for the sovereignty. independence and terri toriaI integrity of each and all the republics of America.'"
 Jose Hygino Duarte Pereira, Vice President of the Congress and delegate from Brazil, made a paech in which he cordially reciprocated the friendly express sions of MT. Cahavero.
