SAYS PEACE RULES IN MEXICO
FOREIGN MINISTER HAS NO
FEAR OF REVOLUTION.
Ambassador des la Barra Declares
Reports of Political Trouble
Have Been Exaggerated.

"There never has been any fear OF d
revolution in Mexico. declares Senior
Mariscal, the minister of foreign affairs,
in dispatch received at the Mexican en-
basSy.
The Mexican ambas sador, Senior ae la
Barra as he handed the dispatch 10 Il
reporter said he felt that it ought to dis
pose Of the rumors which had been cur
rent Of late indicating the probability of
an uprising in his country as q result Of
the approaching presidential campaign.
The ambassador declared that the whole
country will firmly sustain the candidacy
of Diaz for the presidency for the next
electoral term, and that the patriotism of
the people was such that they would not
brook any interruption to the era of prog
ress en- which Mexico had entered.
Because of his position. Senior de la
Barra said he did not feel at liberty to
enter into discussion of the merits and
qualifications of the Mexican citizens
whose names had been mentioned as can
dddtes for the vice presidency, whose
campaigns for that Office appear to be
really paramount to that of the preSl-
dency because of the possibility of a sue
cession TO the latter office in the event of
President Diaz's death.
When asked for his views on the situa-
ton in Mexico. Ambassador de la Barrd
why, in his opinion, there was no danger
of a revolutionary movement because the
sentiment of the people was opposed to
such a step.
Actual Conditions Exaggerated.
The actual conditions, he said. had
been very much exaggerated. Diaz, he
continued. would be supported in his can
ddacy because of his honest, patriotic
and wise administration of the presi
dency, which had gained for him the re-
spect of the people both at home and
abroad. The political agitation over the
vice presidency would not. by any means,
produce any disturbances in the public
peace Of the country, he predicted.
The fear expressed in some quarters
that the conflicts appearing at Guadal "a Jar
and other places were symptoms of a
coming revolution, added the ambassa-
dor, are without foundation. Those con-
fiicls are simply political manifestations
incidental TO any campaign"
Senior de la Barra said that in the con-
ficts referred TO there had been neither
loss of life nor damage to public prop
erty. as had been stated. The course of
business had not been interrupted, and
with a country like Mexico. which worked
and prospered, normal conditions had no.
been disturbed. The country, he de-

Whole Country Prosperous.

In contradiction of an impression which
may obtain that Mexico is on the verge
of a political and economical crisis the
Mexican ambassador called attention spe-
officially TO the business of the Iehuante-
pee and Mexican National railroads as
showing the prosperous condition of the
country. The terminal ports of the for
mer. he said. already are inadequate to
handle the int ercontinental traffic in that
section. termed by Baron Humboldt the
bridge of the WORLD necessitating en-
larged and improved facilities. The bust
ness of the Mexican National, he said,
had increased to such an extent that its
earnings during the last six months had
more than doubled over the preceding
period.
This showing said Ambassador de
la Barra, in conclusion. could not have
been made in country on the eve OF A
revolution, which, in the present instance.
cannot be started. because 1T will be OPP
posed by the practical sentiment and the
patriotism of my countrymen.
