Mexico City. Sept 16.-The national

was observed in a most enthusiastic
maner In this city today.
The decorations of the business
houses, banks and residences were on
an even more elaborate scale than here
tofore and the crowds which congre-
gated in the parks to listen to the
band concerts and those who partici-
pated in the grand civic parade num-
bered several thousands. The parade
was three hours in passing a given
point, where 1t was reviewed by Pres
ident Diaz, vice-President Corral,
members of the Senate and Chamber
of Deputies. the diplomatic corps and
prominent citizens. a stand having been
erected for this purpose on one OF the
principal streets.
President Diaz opened Congress to-
night and delivered his annual mes
sage.
/ The utmost tranquility prevailed In
this city. not a single arrest having
been made. The saloons have all been
closed since yesterday at noon, a pre-
caution taken by the municipal au-
thorities to circumvent a possibility OF
trouble.
Reports from all points throughout
the country, including the cities of
Monterey. Saltillo, San Luis Potosi,
Tampico. Torreon and hundreds of
smaller towns show that not the slight
est disturbance marred the celebra-
tibn.
Patriotic speeches was a part of the
program in the majority of the towns
and cities. platforms having been
erected, in most instances in the main
plaza or in front of the municipal
building. A most noteworthy event in
the celebration of the day occurred in
the city of San Luis Potosi, one of the
largest in Mexico. being the capital
of the state of the same name.
One of the speakers referred to Pres
ident Roosevelt and spoke OF the bind
ing friendship existing between the
two countries and then referred to the
part played by the presidents OF the
sister republics in bringing about peace
between Honduras, Guatemala and
San Salvador during their recent trou-
BILE
Upon concluding his speech the
thousands of people present burst our
in a mighty roar of "vivas" for Pres
ident Roosevelt and Diaz. The demon
stration was perhaps the first in the
history OF the country made in favor
of foreign president.
San Luis Potosi has good sizad
American colony, IT being the center
of both the National and Mexican Cen

played by the citizens of Mexico on
their national holiday towards the
Americans and their President is CON
sidered as one of the best indications
of the lack of any anti-foreign feeling
on the part of the citizens of this coun
try for their Northern neighbors.
Reports have not been received con-
corning the manner of carrying out tho
celebration in the southwestern part
OF the republic but In the absence of
any news the authorities are convinced
that tranquility prevailed. otherwise
they would have received news of some
kind by this time.
