Cause of Anti-American Demonstra.
tons in Mexico.

Mexico City, Nov. 11.-Intense anti
American feeling is prevalent here
and troops and police are on guard
all over the city, keeping the crowds
from collecting and endeavoring, in a
passive way, to safeguard the inter
ests of American citizens.
The American colony is wrought up
over attacks on American citizens.
during which an American flag was
torn, spat upon and reviled. This in.
dignation is made worse by the fact
that the Mexican government had am
pie warning that the anti-American
outbreak was to be expected and made
no provision whatever to prevent it.
Ambassador Wilson has made strong
representations to the Mexican Off
cials, who have promised to protect
Americans and to punish those guilty
of insulting the American flag.
The rioting followed bitter attacks
that have been made by the Mexican
press upon America and Americans
following the burning at the stake in
Texas on Nov 8 of Antonio Rodri

TOGA SLIPS FROM SPALDING

San Francisco, Nov. l1.-With the
legislature Overwhelmingly Republic

begun as to who will succeed Flint in
the senate on March A next. A. q.
Spalding, formerly of Chicago, but re-
Gently resident of San Diego. re-
eeived the endorsement of a majority
of the legislative districts in the pri-
mary election and is therefore the log
ical candidate if this vote carries any
weight. Appearances are that Spald-
ing's chances will be pretty slim.
This is due first to the fact that the
primary vote is merely advisory in
this state and in the second place his
candidacy is not in sympathy nor has
it the support of the Lincoln Roose-
welt league, which now rules the Re-
publican machine in this state and
will control the legislature.
