Thompson Likes Mexico.
The American ambassador to Mexico, Hon.
d. E. Thompson, is in Washington. Mr..
Thompson explained that he had not come
home on any state business but to attend
to some private concerns in Nebraska. He
will meet Mrs Thompson in New York this
week and they will sail for Cuba about
Saturday to be guests of Governor Magoon
for a week or ten days before returning to
the City of Mexico.
ut is a fine country the Mexican repub-
lie" said Ambassador Thompson, "and
have come, during my years residence
there, to like 1t greatly. The people are
as hospitable and kind any in the
world, and the educated class are not sur
passed anywhere in the graces and refine
ments of life. l do not apprehend that
the election of a successor to President
Diaz will cause the least amount of political
disturbance, for the country has pro-
crossed far beyond the stage where revo-
lutions are feasible. The City of Mexico
is becoming a most beautiful place and the
tide of improvement keeps at flood"
