BEHIND THE -MEXI-
CAN INCIDENT"

TOday's dispatches from Mexico lend
color 10 the growing belief that the
recent anti-American demonstrations
IN the land Of the Nontezumas were
s.four-ffth revolutionary politics and
one-ffth resentment at the lynching OF
e Mexican by citizens Of Texas
Mexicans have frequently been
1ynched IN Texas, as have negroes and
white men, True, the affair at Rock
Springs was the first IN which fire was
used as the method Of execution; this,
however, does not account for the anti
American uprising that followed, for
If citizens of Mexico were given to at
.tseking Americans every time Mexi-
can was mistreated in this country.
racial strife along the border would
5have been almost continuous for the
last half century.
The fact that there has been prac-
ltically no serious trouble between
s8Iexicans and Texans indicates almost
sconclusively that the riots in the in
terror Of Mexico have had little con
.nection with the lynching Of Rodri-
sguez. IF there had been the intense,
racial feeling between Texans and
iMexicans that has been indicated BY
the press reports, open warfare would
have broken CT before this.
As a matter of fact, feeling between
Americans and Mezieans on both sides
of the Rio Grande is most cordial.
There Is hardly a southern Texas
l@unty that doesn't number from one
20 half a dozen Mexican officials. Texas
,assds the help of Mexicans 70 build It's
railroads and harvest its crops; Mesd-
cans IN large numbers are citizens of
the State, participating in all phases
of the life Of the community. If there
EXISTED any deep-seated racial senti-
iment, trouble between these people
and their neighbors would have devel-
.Oped-
From this distance It looks very
much as If the anti-Diaz radicals had
used the Rodriguez lynehing as an ex-
icuse to rouse the poems against the
President, and, incidentally, to fan into
flame the underrurrent OF feeling
against Americans in the interior OF
1.-THE country. This anti-American' senti-
iment Is very largely a product of revo-
.lutionary propaganda Diaz has beer
friendly to Americans and has encour-
jagged American capital because he has
sbeen anxious for the development Of
MEXICO. He has been anxious to have
railroads built in order to have mean:
5Iy which be could dispose his troop,
.about the country quickly and advan
sstageously, to suppress such outbreak:
as has Just occurred
Because Diaz has favored Americans

fectiye armor of the Utah and North
Dakota.
1t is said here to-day that the secre-
North Dakota, pointed ont 10 some OF
the officials present certain "bub-
bles on one or two pieces OF armor
This appears TO be the same thing as
the fake or the spall or blister.
The early discovery of seeming de-
fects in the armor of the North Da-
kota made It possible to have II IN
spected thoroughly or as thoroughly
as possible. with the result that only
one piece of plate escaped detection
and that was promptly remedied. al
the ships side officials here say that
II will not do to have unjustif;able re-
ports spread abroad that arnor plate
with either existing or potential de-
ls American can war W vessels. One of the
highest officials to-day limited that the
old time inspection was perhaps as
good as the present method OF IN
spection " can be stated. however,
that the modern battleship REQUIRES
enormous quantities OF armnr plate,
which makes 1t more difficult TO IN
spect thoroughly than was necessary
IN the DAYS OF the white squadron.
The question of an absolutely safe
inspection Is nevertheless now up to
the department by reason of the recent
revelations Secretary Meyer has taken
hold of this question and Will push
1t for all its possibilities.

baked an attack against Pearl Lagoon

A score of her crew We're killed out
right, while forty or fifty more of her
men We're wounded The attacking
gunboat was practically disabled. She
drifted out to sea, where she was
picked up later by her consort and
towed down the coast toward Blue
fields.
There were no casualties among the
defending forces. although much dam
age was done to buildings in the town
that were hit by shrapnel from the

WILL NOT STUMP STATE

Senator Taylor Withdraw Promise OF
support to Governor Patterson.
Washington. July o.---Saying that he
sees with dlsnay that the Democracy
of Tennessee is rushing madly to
destruction through bitter dissensions,
Senator Robert L. Taylor to-day gave
out a statement withdrawing his
promise to stump the state In the
interest Of Governor NJ r. Patterson's
says his action is taken because he
cannot inflict his advice where 1t Is
rejected in advance.
Senator Taylor had agreed to speak
In behalf of Patterson and his ju-
dietary ticket. This aroused a stonn
of protest from friends of the Senator,
who said they did not care to hear
him on that subject. Governor Pat
terson's pardon of Colonel Duncan b.
Cooper, who was convicted with his
son. Robin Cooper, of the murder OF
former Senator r. w. Carmack. is ono
OF the subjects OF the 4actional Diff
ferences in the Democracy OF the
State. Senator Taylor made his state-
ment upon the eve of leaving WASH
ington for a Western lecture. 1t fol-
lows:
II have seen with dismay and sor-
row that the Democracy of Tennessee
is rushing nadly to destruction
through It's bitter dissensions. and my
impulse was to fly to its rescue and
by persuasion and entreaty induce
Democrats. II could. to subdue their
passions and differences and reunite
against their old-time enemy, but ]
have been convinced by most over
whelming evidences from hundreds OF
men of all persuasions all over Ten
nessee that my services in that role
arc not wanted, and that instead OF
accomplishing good I would add fuel
to the flame and widen the breach.
II am, therefore. constrained to
Withdraw my promise to canvass the
state. for cannot inflict my advice
where 1t Is rejected In advance. and
when l am assured 1t will do harm
instead of good.
II am singled out OF the Democrats
in Tennessee and threatened with po-
litical destruction whatever do or
do not do. and now I am ready for
sacrifice. for if my tenure of the high
office the people have bestowed upon
me depends upon and requires that
I shall join either faction OF Demo-
Gratis to fight the other will lay 1t
| down gladly and retire with at least
conscience void of offense against
my party or my people.
This must not be, taken as re-
ceding in my respect from the position
/ have announced. for there can be nc
safety except in organization ant
obedience to constituted authority.
