DOUGLAS, Aug. 6. - (Speciall--
 SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Aug. 6.--Ac. cording to well informed authorities, among them United States collector of customs at Eagle Pass, R. w. Dove, the reports of an impending revolution in Mexico, recently circulated, are without foundation While a great deal of unrest has been manifested among the laboring classes th,s is claimed to 2 be due to business stagnation and un- settled conditions generally. Mexico has as yet not fully recovered from the panic of 1907 and 1908, and until the country has fully done this labor trou- bles are likely to make their spasmod.c appearance
 Bernardo Reyes of Nueyo Leon, who has been claimed to be to some extent responsible for the late disturbances at Guadalajara, his old home. refuses to endorse the lawless acts committed by students and a few over-zealous friends and will be found on the side of law and progress during the coming election. He and Vice President Cor ral are both loyal to the national gov ernment and President Diaz. The per sistent rumors that President Diaz IS In very bad health are also inspired by people prompted by ulterior motives. Though no longer young and active the president is anything but sickly. WOuld-be revolutionists who have counted on his demise at the psyche logical moment for their ambitions have overlooked the fact that the Mex ican government has for a long time been prepared for such an emergency. One of the confidential agents, NJ. Pal afox, known to be the moUthp.ece of Mexican officialdom. in an interview recently given by arrangement in this city outlined the plans made by the government They are thorough enough to defeat the efforts of any liberator and all assertions to the contrary not withstanding are in strict accordance with the Mexican constitution. Should Diaz die, Vice President Corral will quietly assume the vacated place and it is doubtful whether even the slight. est shock will be experienced by the ship of state.
 Ever since the so-called revolution of 1908, eliminating in the engage. ment of Las Vaces. opposite Del Rio, on the 18th of that month, the Amer. ican socialists have been very stren uous in espousing the cause of the Mexican lower classes.A great deal of oratorical and journalistic vehemence has been exerted by them without their knowing much of the subject treated That the Mexican govern ment has occasionally resorted to methods not strictly constitutional would be hard to d.sputes but the fact of the matter is that it has to deal with a pop61ace large percentagesoi which is hardly qualified to make.the best of self government in the strictei sense. The Mexican, with all the i'm performances and gullibility of his race could be easily led to indulge in a con tinuous performance series of revolu tons. Happily the government is tot strong for him and for this reason whatever changes there will be in tht presidency will be quiet ones.
 In the meantime President Diaz hal been nominated to succeed himself 1T the lection to occur in 1910, and Vice President Corral has received th' unanimous nomination of the nationa convention for reelection. Genera Reyes has never announced himself al a candidate. but on several occasion, has expressed himself as favoring thu reelection of MT. Corral.
