NO FOUNDATION FOR
 LURID DISPATCHES
All Is Quiet at Cananea and No Trou-
 ble Is Expected.

The visit of the Mar.copa county
 delegations to the camp of the Can
 anea Copper company at Cananea foi- lowing the adjournment of the tevri-
 torial conventions at Bisbee gave
 those making the journey an oppor- tunity to study the reported reVolu- | tionary movement at close range. i There were some in the party who
 were not aware of the story which had been put in circulation by certain sen sational papers but when an explaHa tiOn was made to them they were greatly surprised. It would be harc to find a more peaceable mining camp in all the west than was Cananea oI Friday of last week the day the eX- | cursionists visited the city. There was nowhere to be seen anything which could have been construed even by the most skeptical as a sign of inn pending danger. There was apparent
 on every hand a general feeling of in dignat.on over the published reports During the stay of the party in 1 Cananea one of it's number paid a visit | to General Torres. in command of the military of the state. He was received ] with the greatest of respect and courtesy. The conversation naturally | drifted to a discussion of the reported
 revolutionary uprising and the Mex
 can commander discussed the affair .. with great freedom. What the ob- 1 ject of the attack on Cananea by
 American newspapers is" said the gen eral. 'I cannot tell. It is hard for me to conceive anything so ridiculous as
 the report that 500 armed men were running through the streets here kill . ing and burning being believed by | outside people. It would be a very difficult matter for 200 people to get
 together here with anything like hos
 tile intent and not be dispersed before they had gone fifty paces. Under other circumstances I would pay no
 attention to the report. but circulated
 as it is. among thousands and hun ., dreds of thousands of people the world
 over, the matter becomes serious. I
 hope the visitors to Cananea will
 make every effort to tell just what l they see and this will go a long ways 1 toward refuting it."
 A leading business man of Cananea
 in speaking of the matter said: Every i time an incompetent miner gets the can here he leaves the camp, and on going out assumes a scared expression. gasping for breath and with eyes roll i ing with fright, tells a gaping crowd
 that he is the advance guard of the crowd fleeing across the border The Mexicans have ordered all Americans i out and are parading the streets with guns, shooting down defenseless l Americans they say, and are believed i by some who ought to have moIe e | sense"
 | The indignation among the people in Cananea ran so high Friday that it
 would without doubt have gone hard with the writer of the article had he been there. Tar and feathers was the least punishment mentioned, and a
 worse fate would very probably have been meted out to him.
 Instead of Cananea being in the throes of a revolution as reported the
 citizens are busily preparing for the grand celebration of September Is.
 Lodges which have been invited to join in have accepted and this fact with others leads to the belief that the parade in the morning will be one to
 remember
 All committees having the thing in charge are busily preparing for the great crowd confidently expected to come down. Every man is quietly pursuing his business in peace and
 with success, the old saying of every thing is lovely and the goose hangs high" being aptly illustrated.
