Ambassador Thompson Reports to State Department Regarding
 the Recent Runors.
AsKs SUPPRESSION OF ST. LOUIS JUNTa

Mr. Thompson Declares that Articles Pub
 lishcd in United states Asserting tha, mn
 Insurrection Is Incnbating are Wholly
 Without Foundation in Fact, and do ln-
 cstinabie Harm to Mexican Republic.
 Washington, Sept S.--Declarng to be false the reports of bitter anti American feeling in Mexico and an or ganized revolution against President Diaz David T.. Thompson, the Amer ican ambassador. has made an ex- haustiye report to the state depart ment setting forth in detail informa- tion which could not be conveyed in his previous confidential dispatches. lie has renewed his request that in compliance with the wishes of Mex icos president, this government should take steps to suppress the Mexican revolutionary junta at St. Louis, which publishes in Spanish paper called Regeneration"
 He contends that articles that have appeared in certain newspapers of the United States, discussing alleged dis satisfaction with the administration of President Diaz and asserting that an instruction of possibly far reach ing consequences is incubatirg, are wholly without foundation and of in- estimablc harm to Mexico. He char acterizes the troubles that already have occurred as nothing more than small labor riots. MT. Thompson de- pores the fact that such publications give "a most exaggerated import arce" to the work of men who have fsd from Mexico and who continue to enGeavor to breed a spirit of unrest in that country and adds:
 If there should be any local dis turbances they will be handled right ly by the Mexican government. Such thing as a general uprising is not to be seriously considered
 Numerous telegrams have been ex- changed between the state depart ment and Ambassador Thompson in relation to the publishers oi 'Regen- eration," in which the ambassador has suggested that if these men could be dealt with as anarchists, President Diaz would feel a deep gratitude. The suggestion made by Mr Thompson followed interviews he had with Pres idont Diaz in which the latter eA- pressed the earnest hope that the United States government could take steps to pretent the further circulation of the paper.
 The state department Immediately referred the dispatches of MT. Thomp- son to the department of justice with view to ascertaining what measures might be taken against the newspaper Regeneration or it's publishers. In that department an investigation is now proceeding but no information could be had as what form 1t is talk ing.
