MEXICO WILL NOT SELL.
Ambassador Denies Report that q.
$. Wants MagdaIena Bay.

= HaHtS AaSdOfena lay.
Not one inch Of the Mexican territory
is for sale. Not even a particle OF the
lana Of this government can be purchased
for any price or under any eonsidera-
ton"
This is IN a statement issued yesterday
by the Mexican Ambassador through
Mr. Landa, secretary IN charge Of the
embassy. IN reply to the report that the
United States government was negotiat-
ing with the Mexican authorities for pur-
chasing Magdalena Bay and the lower
end OF California It was also said that
the subject had never been mentioned
by the State Department 10 +he Mexican
representative IN Washington A similar
denial was issued by the State Depart
ment.
Magdalena Bay is said to be an ideal
body % water for target practice OF a
feet of war vessels, and was used as
such some years ago by Uncle Sans
gunners by special permission Of the
Mexican officials. It is thought that the
report originated from the decision 10
transfer the Atlantic feet to the Pacific
Ocean, IN which event the government
might again seek these waters for tar
get purposes

Tokyo, July S.-''The movements Of the
American navy are Of no special i'm
portance,' said an influential naval ex-
pert in an interview printed IN the Asahi
Shimbun to-day.
They are part Of a prearranged plan
which has been adopted because cf the
constant growth OF the American navy
during the last decade, fer the sake Of
training and for purposes Of protection
to Americas wide interest in the Pacific
Ocean.
Meanwhile. It is proper 10 understand
that the squadron is not composed ex-
clusively Of battle ships, but includes a
number Of cruisers as well From a stra-
tegical point Of view. it does not concern
Japan whether the squadron remains In
the Atlantic or proceeds 70 the Pacific,
although for Americans there is some
reason TO believe that the Atlantic would
be preferable"
The Asahi says editoriaIIy that the
transfer OF the feet to the Pacific is
''the natural consequence Of McKinley's
Imperialism
The new Republican platform" It
says. includes the extension Of the Mon
roe doctrine 10 the Pacific, where Ameri-
can interests are destined permanently
to remain" The report that the feet win
return to the Atlantic after a short stay
in the Pacific. II holds TO be due not only
10 the inadequate accommoda ton afford
ed by Pacific posts, but also 70 Americas
conviction Of Japans sincerity in respect
ing Americas new territorial rights
The Asani regrets that the feet cannot
visit Japan 10 enable the japanese 10
assure them Of their sincerity. and 10
return the hospitality shown the japanese
at jamestown
However. the Asahi Is compelled 70
suggest the abrGgatiOn OF article two of
the commercial treaty between Japan and.
America 10 avoid in future troubles like
those in San Francisco.
Says the Nichi Nichi: War talk. the
boycott bogy, and naval alarms can
originate no solution for the san Fran
cisco problem. The definite stoppazs OF
discrimination Is vital
Other leading papers are reticent. show
ing the difficulty they feel in expressing

But Washington wasn't alone in her

There were many prostrations during
the day. but only one was serious enough
to be taken to q hospital. Several people
were overcome by the heat on the street
and taken by friends to nearby drug
stores, where they were given medical at
tention, and afterward taken TO their
homes. Miss Viola Sutherland, 81 NJ
