Mexico City, Dec. 3l.--tMr. Knoz

Jose Santos zelaya, who arrived this
morning from Salina Cruz, thus replied
to question tonight as to what atti-

probability, but strongly intimated
that the secretary of state would not

My relations with the preceding
American government were exceedingly
friendly. The situation contains many
