Mexico City, June 4.-There has been
NO public excitement over the Cananea

by American residents Saturday night
lest the trouble might spread, through
unwise action Of the people of Cananea.

Of consul Galbraith for what appeared

Mexicans were killed and wounded
than Americans, is thought to show
that the latter was possibly the ag-
gressors.
The statement Of Col. Greene that
the riots had It's cause In socialistic
campaign among the Mexican laborers
Is ridiculed as Mexican laborers have
nowhere any socialistie organizations.
