DISTRUST AMERICANS
EMBARRASSING CONDITIONS EXIST
 IN MEXICO.
American Intentions Respecting Mexi- can Territory is Suspicioned and the Feeling Has Gained a
 Most Rapid Growth.

Washington. April 5.-While the of- ficia1 relations between the United States and Mexico were never more cordial than now and while there Is nothing in the material interests or desires of either republic. which conflicts in the slightest degree with the other! offl- cials of the American State Depart the existence and rapid growth of public sentiment in Mexico .and dis trust and suspicion of Americans and American intentions, respecting Mexi- can territory.
 This condition is made more exas- perating. but none the less harmful and embarrassing from the fact that 1t is entirely groundless in fact and the officials declare. has for Its basis. nothing but irresponsible newspaper gossip and criticism. Such. for in- stance, as lurid description of Mag dalena Bay, where the fleet has just concluded target practice. with hint thrown in that the location and nat ural surroundings are ideal for naval rendezvous and target practice station. and that the place ought to be bought from Mexico. Just such comments as these. printed without the least official inspiration or sanc- tion; wholly misrepresenting actual conditions, are believed by American officials to be entirely responsible for the distrust rapidly developing in Mex leo. The officials also assert that southern and western papers have in- dulged in what Is regarded here as Tu ralaffno A hn extradition of criminals, have magni- fled labor troubles in Mexico and made comments Irritating in character re- garding the control of the Colorado river as a boundary stream.
 Added to the accumulation, and per haps the only thing which Is com plained of officially by Mexico. is the seeming security and asylum afforded here to persons regarded in Mexico as conspirators and revolutionary agi- tators.
 Knowing the cordiality and sincerity of official relations between the two governments; the lack of desire for any portion of Mexican territory and the cigilance which is being exercised against harboring Mexican propa- gandists. American officials feel the more keenly their lack of ability to cope with a situation entirely out of official control. but none the less chargeable to the nation.
 Attention is called to the fact that the comment which has been indulged in by the .American press, has found it's way into and been. repeated in Mex ico, where the construction placed on 1t has been serious and the feeling engendered decidedly hurtful. If al- lowed to continue, most disastrous re- suits are predicted
