American Ambassador to MeXiCa
Makes Recommendation
REPLY MADE BY JUNTA
Appeal Issued to the President Not to
Interfere In Publication of
Regeneration BY Its
Editors.

Washington, September 7.-Declaring to
be false the reports Of bitter anti-Ameri-
can feeling in Mexico and an organized
revolution against President Dias, Mr..
Thompson. the American ambassador, has
made an exhaustive report to the state
department setting forth In detail infor-
nation which could not be conveyed in his
previous confidential dispatches. He has
renewed his request that, in compliance
with the wishes of the Mexican president,
this government should take steps to sup
press the Mexican revolutionary Junta at
St. Louis which publishes in Spanish a
paper called Regeneration.
He contends that articles that have ap-
peared in certain newspapers, discussing
alleged dissatisfaction with the admins
tration of President Diaz and asserting
that an insurrection of possibly far reach
ing consequences is incubatng. are wholly
without foundation, and of inestimable
harm to Mexico. He characterizes the
troubles that already have occurred as
being merely small labor riots. Mr..
Thompson deplores the fact that such pub
locations give "a most exaggerated i'm
preston to the work of men. who have
fled from Mexico and who continue to en-
deavor to breed a spirit of unrest in that
country, and adds:
No General Uprising.
"If there should be any local disturb
ances they will be handled rightly by the
Maxican government. Such a thing d
general uprising is not to be seriously con-
sidered."
Numerous kilograms have been ex-
changed between the state department
and Ambassador Thompson in relation to
the publishers of Regeneration. in which
the ambassador has suggested that If
these men could be dealt with as anarch-
lists. President Diaz would feel a deep
gratitude The suggestion made by Mr..
Thompson followed interviews he had
with President Diaz, in which the latter
expressed the earnest hope that the United
States government could take steps 70
prevent the further circulation of the pa
per.
The state department Immediately re-
ferred the dispatches of Mr.. Thompson
TO the department of justice, with a view
to ascertaining what measures might be
taken against the newspaper Regenera-
cion. In that department an investigation
is now proceeding, but no information
could be had as to what form it is taking
"Are Not Anarchists"

MEXICAN iunta, located at 2647 Lafayette
avenue which United States Ambassador
Tompson to Mexico, has asked the led
eral authorities to suppress, stated TO-DAY
that the members of the junta will stay
where they are. continue the pubi1catlon
of oRereneracion, and throw themselves
nm the Justice of the United States through

tic. declaring that not one of the mem
