MEXICAN JOAN OF ARC.

Santa Teresa, the Mexican Joan of
Arc" and reputedly a healer" Of
phenomenal power, is in New York
on her way to Europe to study mag
netic and anatomical science.
While here she will straighten out
the limbs of any who are halt or
MANNED, rub elasticity into joints
cramped with rheumatism, and scatter
about any other kind of good which
can be accomplished by the laying on
of hands-all without money and with
out price.
This woman, about whom more pic
turesque and romantic stories have
been told than of any other of the
unique characters of the more remote
southwest, is at 10 East Twenty
eighth street, with Arizona relatives
who are paying for her trip abroad.
She shows no outward suggestion of
the supernatural favor attributed to
her by the Yaqui Indians, among whom
| she lived and worked for time.
They, ignorant and unable to under
| stand simple physical laws, thought
none but goddess could possess the
crude healing powers with which she
4 was gifted, and insisted on defying her.
This was against her will, she says.
| and something which she did not like
She is quite a common sense little per-
son without anything unusual in her
appearance save pair of subtly bril-
liant eyes and an olive complexion.
Magnetism, which should explain why
she can rub away rheumatism and oc-
casionally restore sight, is evident in
eyes and touch.
Santa Teresa denies, that she ever
instigated the Yaquis to revolt. A
| bloody uprising of these aborigines a
year ago was attributed to her Weird
stories are told of how she, accourteref
somewhat like Joan of Arc, but in
ruder fashion, led the naked warriors
to the fray of the carnage. Her APP
pearance bellies the idea even more
than her words, and the latter are sim
pie and Sincere-Exchange.

Correspondence of the Globe-Democrat.
City of Mexico, February 24.-"The
Mexican government does not contem-
plate taking any steps toward the adop-
ton of the gold standard for this coun-
try. nor has it such a proposition even
under consideration" said Mr.. Liman-
tour the Mexican minister of finance,
to your correspondent.
DO you not look forward to the
adoption of the gold standard at some
future time?" Mr. Limantour was ask

1T is. of course. the ideal, the per-

but until the exports of Mexican pro-
duCe amount to more than the imports
and the moneys which are now sent

the national debt, railroad securities
and other papers and obligations of
like character. it would be unwise, not

profits on the shares of various corpo-
rations In 1900 the inportatiOns of
merchandise increased $22 200, 200,
whereas the expectations only increas-
ed $4,000, 900. Instead of there being
an increase of $41.000,000 in exports
over imports, the excess did not even
amount to $50, 900 900, and the country
was forced to find some other way in
which to meet its foreign obligations.
cat a time when Mexico stood most
in need of articles for expectation to
pay the balance of trade, there came a
scarcity of exportable articles other
than the precious metals, and 1T was
necessary to draw upon the latter in
order to meet the emergency. AS gold
and silver can not be produced in larg-
er quantities at any given moment, nor
are there large supplies of those metals
on hand in ore or in bars, the country
had to pay in coin.
THE great expectation of coin dur
ing the past few months, therefore, is
due chiefly to the ratio between the
volume of 1mportations and eXporta-
tions and the influence of certain OPP
erations in the line of credit or invest
ments on the aggregate liabilities of
the republic toward foreign nations.

dollars during the months of July to

these banks is guaranteed by being
held as prior lien on the assets of

minor guarantees in the shape of re-
StrictionS upon the manner or doing

full rights of issue which they possess.

When asked about the condition of
the large industrial concerns of Mexico,
Mr.. LimantOur said:
1.-The situation in which in general
mercantile and industrial concerns
standing valuation to the banks and
banking firms must be considered in
estimating the present status. During
the past few years there has been a
tremendous growth of Mexican indus
tries. There were a large number OF
joint stock cOmpan mics organized
form of enterprise little known in
Mexico in previous years. 1t may be
said, Therefore, that speculation in stock
securities in this country is a matter
of the past five years only. The facili-
ty with which credit was secured at the
| banks by giving shares of joint stock
| companies as collateral led many
| firms and capitalists to enter upon new
| enterprise without waiting with due
| caution to learn the results of earlier
investments. AS soon as a scarcity of
cash was felt throughout the country d
large volume OF stock was thrown upon
the market, producing general depres-
sion in securities. Fortunately for the
lcountry 4 large majority of the new en-
lterpriSeS rested on accurate calcula-
tions which precluded any danger that
might arise to the holders of their Sc
curitieS To add to the difficulties of
the situation there has been a failure
of the corn and barley crops in large
lpart of the country, causing con-
siderable advance in the price of those
cereals, and these nave been an over
production in the cotton industry,
which, coupled with the excessive price
of the raw material. has compelled a
number of factories to close their doors
ct am confident that all our troubles
will disappear in proportion as equili-
brium of trade is restored, and the ex-
lportation of hard dollars decreases, as
the market for industrial securities
Improves and as the influx of foreign
capital resumes it's wonted volume

the expectations were less than $4,000
600. An increase of nearly So. DOC, 900
in the expectation of dollars and a
Shrlnkage of more than one-half in the
coinage are causes sufficiently power
full in themselves to explain the pres
ent scarcity of cash.
What is the total amount of mon
ey in circulation in Mexico, and where
is it placed?" the minister was asked.
The total circulation of silver mon
ey may be setimated in the neighbor-
hood of 90,O00, 900. $53, 900 900 of this
silver is now in the bank vaults to Sc
cure outstanding paper currency
amounting to about $65, 900 900. 1t may
be said, therefore. that the amount of
money in circulation in the republic Of
Mexico is approximately 500. 900 900
1t is not strange, THEREFORE that when
the peoples supply of cash is decreased
within four months by about IL per
cent that business should receive a
considerable shock. OF the 81 ,0O0, 900
that have gone abroad in four months
$500 900 was from the bank holdings
and the balance from private stores"
What caused this decrease in expor-
tationS and does it show any signs of
being permanent in character"
The principal decrease was in hemp.
copper. coffee. hardwoOds, tobacco. and
cattle. 1t is not to be supposed that in
all these lines of expectation the causes
checking their development will re-
main permanently. We had an unSat-
isfactory season last year, which cur
tailed the crops, and the large number
of articles in which a decrease of ex-
portation is noted is sufficient guaran-
tee that it is merely a general trade
condition and not the loss to the coun-
try of any one industry. Two other
causes have had a direct influence on
the expectation of Mexican dollars.
One of these is the demand for this
coin in Asia, especially on account of
the war in China and the other is the
rise in the value of silver due to the
heavy demand for this metal in India
a demand which still continues
1T has been stated that Mexico was
an export duty on silver dol
lars. such as prevailed in Porto Rico
under Spanish rule. Are any such
steps contemplated?
No" replied the minister. there is
in the situation which re-
quires special legislation or special
measures for relief. BY the modifica-
ton of certain regulations we have
made conditions easier for those desir-
ing to mint their silver, but these steps
have merely been notifications of gov
ernmental regulations, and are with
out the dignity CT congressional rule.
Before congress adjourned at its last
session it empowered the minister of
finance to take these steps in the effort
to increase the amount of coined sill

our resources are subject to the strain
of a foreign balance against us it
would be impossible for us to hold any
gold in local circulation. If Mexico
was receiving more than she was pay
ing out it would put a different face
upon affairs"
do you believe the ideal condition
will be reached within a reasonable
timer" Mr.. Limantour was asked.
Il do the minister eplied. q
think that within ten years Mexico
will have reversed the present eccnOm-
ical condition and we will then be JUS
tilted in considering the adoption OF
the gold standard, but at the present
time. as I said. the matter is not even
under consideration, serious or other
wise.
When asked as to the truth of the
report which has been IT, circulation to
the effect that a financial crisis now
existed in Mexico, Mr.. Limantour said:
1T is true that there is 4 certain de-
preston in business, due principally to
the scarcity of cash and undue activ-
ity displayed in recent years In the or
ganization Of industrial corporations.
The scarcity of cash is due to two caus-
es. the falling off in the expectation of
falling off which is purely fortuitous
and temporary for the most part. but
which has naturally compelled us to
settle in coin the debit of our trade
balance. and the demand for our dol
lars to meet the needs of the far east
Would you consider the present sit
uation as being in the nature of fl
nancial crisis?"
so far is the present depression
from meriting the name of 4 crisis that
up to the present no firm of impor-
tance. least of all any establishment
of credit in the republic. has suspend
ed payments.
Il firmly believe that the prudent
measures taken by the government in
concert with the principal banks and
the highly conservative spirit which
characterizes men Of affairs in this
country viii suffice to surmount these
temporary difficulties within three or
four months. and that if this is not the
case money can easily be secured from
the United States or Europe which will
restore to our market the
activity which in part it has lost.
1T would not be true to say that the
present economical conditions OF this
republic are as fiattering as those
which prevailed last year. But on the
other hand. the difficulties we are now
with must not be exaggerated.
