THE MESSAGE IN MEXICO.
Presidents Treatment of Cuban
Question Has Good Effect.

N~SbOh CHects
City of Mexico Dec. 4.-President
Roosevelt's message has been very fav-
orably received in government and
business circles. The general comment
is his declaration in favor of Cuban
independence and a free trade policy
with the island sill greatly strengthen
American prestige all over Latin Amer
lea. He has completely disarmed the
Clerical press of one of its principal
arguments against the Washington
government.
The Mexican Herald to-day says of
the message
Its sound sense and remarkable
comprehensivenes is matched by its
remarkably high literary quality. 1t is
a message following which patriotic
Americans and all lovers of human
progress, can take their stand on a
platform of sound and invigorating
principles. The message is conserva-
tivee. yet progressive, and is frank
exposition of healthy American ideas
by the moderate and statesmanlike
leader Of the American people"

City of Mexico, Dec. 4.-The rapid

bankers regarded the depression in
silver as temporary and hope for a
speedy reaction; others less sanguine
point to the fact that for eighteen
years there has been on the whole a
constant downward tendency and the
expression of the belief that eventual

City of Mexico, Dec. 4.-The opinion

is acknowledged that the part dealing

much encouragement for the work Of
