Mexico. in the interests Of civilization,
must intervene
In spite Of all that Mexico has done to
preserve peace. in the opinion of Mexican
diplomats here, the time is near at hand
when some drastic steps must be taken.
1t is pointed out that Mexico has no
grievance against her neighbor (Guate-

longer tolerate the attitude and action Of
President Cabrera.
il is feared that his latest action, when
verified. will bring matters 70 a climax.
Mexicans here say that Mexico can stand
by and look on no longer.
The Mexican Embassy is keeping I'm
close touch with the situation, and

LETTER RILES ARMY OFFICERS
President Writes Secretary Taft Re-

sire for tests Of physical condition and
skill in horsemanship Of all field officers
Of the line While they are not in posi-
tion to criticise the letter. privately they
DO not Ike the inference in it that they
are not good horsemen.
The Presidents letter is, in part as fol-
lows:
"As I have personally observed some
field officers who were physically unable
20 ride even a few miles at an increased
gait. and as I deem Il essential that the
field officers Of the line of the army
should he az all times physically fit and
able to perform the duties pertaining 10
their positions, especially in the field, and
as I believe that such physical fitness can
only be demonstrated by actual physical
tests | desire that you give the necessary
directions 20 have the physical condition
of ali officers Of the line who come up for
examination for promotion 10 the grade Of
field officer actually tested for skill and
endurance in riding, this in addition 20
the physical examination now required by
law
u further desire that an annual OF bi-
ennial test Of the physical condition and
skill I'm horsemanship Of all field officers
Of the line be- made under the personal
supervision Of the several department
commanders when making their annual
inspections. The test should be thorough
and should consist - a ride Of not less
than Afteen miles a varying gaits

miles Of which shall be az the trot and

may be deemed advisable

cogent reasons for such absences should
be accepted as satisfactory

MILLERS' WEIGHTS SHORT.
Barrels and Sacks of Flour Not Up
to the Standard.

Short weight In barrels and sacks of
-four is practiced by nearly all the large
milling concerns. according to Col. W
{. Haskell, sealer Of weights and meas
ures Of the District. As reported to him
by the -four inspector, large quantities Of
flour In barrels are brought to Washing
ton every year which. in practically every
instance. are from two 10 four pounds
short in weight. As some Of the big mills
have daily capacity Of 5000 or more
barrels. this shortage in the aggregate
amounts TO a large sum paid by the pub
l.c for flour which they do not receive.
Large quantities Of -four come in paper
and cloth sacks Official inspection has
shown that the sacks are from one to two
pounds short. Col. Haskell states that
under the existing laws of the District of
Columbia this cannot be prevented, but
that the Commissioners will request the
Sixtieth Congress to frame such legisla-
ton as will enable the District officials 10
protect the public.
