AMERICAN INTERESTS BACK
 OF CANDIDACY OF REYES
A Question asked Frequently is Who and What Interests arc Back of the
 Anti-Diaz Candidate.

It has been the fixed policy of Min ister Limantour. according to Ameri can financiers in Mexico, to strike a balance of power between American and foreign interests. Whlie Presi dent Diaz has always been friendly to American interests. he is said to re gard the foreign invasion of Mexico as a preventative to dictation from an overpower,ng American invasion com mercially. Minister Limantour has not opposed American interests: he has only encouraged other fore.gn in. teres,s, according to those who have sized up the situation.
 General Reyes is regarded as highly friendly to American interests in the republic. He has been quoted to the effect that Mexico for Mexicans is good policy, but his friends believe in this respect he was only playing good politics He is said to be not averse to American as opposed to European invasion.
 Say No Doubt of Reyes Defeat.
 What the outcome of the present agitation will be is hard to predict, say those conversant with the situa. ton. but the opinion is freely express. ed that the agitation will result in much good whether Reyes be victor ious or defeated. Not in years have there been public meetings and the free expression of opinion that has come about over the present conflict. According to prominent Mexicans cross the river, there is no doubt of the defeat of Reyes. but this does uoh necessarily mean the success of f<f se st,f the present disturbances have come about because free rein was given the partisans of both with the object of declaring each incompetent. on the ground that they raised more trouble in Mexico than in thirty years and that a dark horse will be named for the job when the actual time for SC lection approaches.
 Among the heads that rise promi- nentiy in this discussion are Felix Dag. nephew of the president. Cover. nor Creel of Chihuahua and Governor Ahumada of Jalisco.
 Talk of Revolt Ridieuied. .a
 Talk of a resolution or revolt led by General Reyes is regarded as ap preaching the ridiculous, owing. first to the wisdom of General Reyes him self. who knows what such a proceed ure would mean. General Reyes. 1t Is said. has not declared himself can didate for the vice presidency and will not do so. although allowing his friends to conduct an orderly cam paign. That some of his most urgent, and most radical, partisans are pad men employed by the administration forces to watch him for any untoward action. is the assertion made by in dividuals who have ther belef on past performances in Mexico.
 Conditions Becoming Heated.
 According to a prominent citizen of Guaymas. in Fl Paso on his way 10 the coast. from that section, the Key istic movement Is assuming serious proportions in Sonora and Sinaloa. Prominent citizens of Guaymas who have been taking part in the political demonstrations for General Reyes nave been ordered to leave the couh- try and some of these have fled to the United States. Soldiers are guarding the halls where the Reyfstas are hold ing their meetings and great activity Is being taken by the government to prevent the Reyista clubs from arous. ing too much enthusiasm for the op' position candidate for vice president to Ramon Corral
