C0t. BREA1HITT HERE FROM
 CANANEA
American Consul at Greene Camp Scouts Probability
 of Any Uprising,

!, Col. J. c. Breathitt, American con sular agent at Cananea, arrived in the city on last evenings train. accompa- nied by Mrs. Breathitt and two nieces. The Colonel came up to attend to some business which required his attention in Bisbee When seen by a repre- sentative of the Review and asked about conditions at the big camp, the Colonel said: T have never seen things so prosperous as they are at Cananea at the present time. The mines are running with full force of men, and the concentrators and smell ters also have their full quota. The management of the mines informed me lately that the output of the mines has been greatly increased, and that more men are in their employ at the pres ent time than ever before.
 "Of course, the big deal which has been consummated lately whereby MT. Cole and Col. w. C. Greene and oth- CTS get control of a very large area of the best section of the camp, will be another factor tending towards still greater prosperity for Cananea. There is great deal of building go- ing on in the camp at the present time, and many more buildings are now in contemplation.
 T have found lately that the Hotel Sonora has been overcrowded, and l have been working on plans for en- larging it. I expect to let the con- tract very soon, and will have the con- tractor at work as soon as the rainy season is over. The new wing which have been planning will give the ho- tel forty additional rooms. There are other changes which will be made as soon as possible.
 Tn regard to the rumors of an up- rising on the 18th of September, I am worn out trying to undo the work which has been done by a number of yellow Journalists and stock-jobbers There is absolutely no foundation for any story of that kind, and there will be sRone. The Americans and Mexi- cans are the best of friends, working side by side every day, and they have forgotten the unpleasantness which happened early in June. As for American capital. it need have no fear of the situation in Mexico American capital was never safer in the Republic of Mexico than it is at the present time.
 Suppose there should be trouble
 
 on this side of the international bor- der. Is not Cananea a military post. and is not the very best garrison in the Mexican army stationed there? I can assure you that any revolution would be short-liyed. Of course Mexico has some anarchists, just the same as We have in the United States. but I can assure you that they are nc more in power in Mexico than they are iii the United States. General DiaZ is loved by every true Mexican in return for the numberless blessings which he has secured for them. They look upon him as the best of rulers, and would not change their govern ment, peaceably or otherwise. In re- gard to the shipping of arms from the United States into Mexico for use by the Yaquis, of course We know that this has occurred, but I am very sure that the practice has been broken up. It will probably be but a very short time before the Mexican army wipes out or captures the unruly Indiys." Col. Breathitt will return to Cana nea this afternoon.
