D. J. Haff. prominent attorney of Kansas City, representing the Fl Tigre company and well known in Blsbee. who devotes the most of his time to the practice of law in the Re public of Mexico, and who recently re turned from Kansas City. has given out an interview 10 the Kansas City Journal. in which Half rehearses the accounts of the recent labor trouble of Cananea, and denies the reports that there is an anti-foreign sentiment in Mexico against foreigners. In addi- ton of the reports given the Journal MT. Haff has written a letter to the Mexican Trust company of Kansas City, in reply 70 letter addressed to him by the secretary, in which MT. Haff says as follows;
 T am in receipt of your recent let Ter stating that you are receiving daily inQuires regarding the so-called anti American sentiment which is reported 10 have recently developed in Mexico, end you wish to have a letter from scme one who is acquainted with the facts. The whole story was started by the yellow journals in the United States Cat the time of the strike al inc mines in Cananea, Sonora,) and Is false purely and simply. There is not a grain of truth in it.

 All along the border their wages have been materially raised. They are receiving two to three times as high wage as their brothers in the interior, and in order to bring about this condition they have organized un- ions. The whole thing is about to re- suit ultimately in raising wages throughout the entire republic, since the wave is sweeping from north to South. The tremendous development in every industry in Mexico has re- suited in scarcity of labor not found
