WASHINGTON, Nov. 1O.-Official dis
patches, giving details Of the anti

ment today from United States Am
-bassador Wilson and William Arnold
sShankf1n, the American consul gen

Secretary Knox, while deploring the
sEituation in Mexico believes il is not
Representative Of the real attitude Of
1he American and Mexican people.
In formal staFsment tonight Nhe
says:
The manifestations Of resentment
toward Americans reported from Mex
aco is the cause Of deep regret to the
executive government and equally So
7 am sure. TO the American people.
AT no timo have the governments
and people Of the two countries sus-
Eained toward each other closer and
eznore cordial relations, predicated upon
common purposes and sympathies, than
NOW.
1t is most unfortunate that the bru
tai crime in our country Of which a
Mexican was the victim should be made
the excuse for a demonstration of hos
tility toward Americans in Mexico. It
is satisfaction to believe that such
demonstrations find little sympathy
with the Mexican people and none in
The Mexican government.
4 am sure the Mexican government

demonstrations against Americans in
Mexico and to punish those engaged in
them. as the United States will be
prompt to press for punishment Of per-
sons guilty Of crimes against citizens
Of Mexico residing in this country"

nounced at the Mexican embassy that
no word OF the troubles in the Mexi-
can capital had been received from that
government.
STRIFE IMPROBABLE
Ambassador de IA Barra called at the
state department about noon, but said
he had no information from his gov
ernment regarding the anti-American
demonstration in the City OF Mexico.
The two governments are n this
position:
If the state department here finds
that Ambassador Wilson's reports are
justified, polite request must be made
on Mexico for an expression Of regret
for the demonstration and also suitable
reparation If any damage has been
suffered by Americans.
On the other hand, the Mexican gov
