FL Paso. Nov. IO.--Declaring that Amer
leans would be secure in the Mexican
capital or any other place In Mexico if
| soldiers could give them security, Por-
firio Diaz. President of Mexico, to-day
ordered his nephew, Felix Diaz. chief Of
police OF Mexico, 10 double his guards
tonight and patrol every street OF the
nations capital with men enough and
put down any disturbance, according to
advices received here from the capital
1t Is also stated that Gen. Diaz did this
without consulting with the governor Of
the federal district, Landa Escandon,
because Of the action OF the governor yes
terday in watching the rioting of medical
students and not only doing nothing 10
prevent their assaults in Americans, iu-
Guiding the son Of American Ambassador
Wilson, but actually commencing them
in speech later in the day This is cited
as an example of the hatred held by
many Mexicans, even in high places, for
the Americans. and presages a condition
that is expected some day. If not now,
to become most serious for citizens of
tho United States residing IN that coun-
try.
viii Preserve Order.
AT present President Diaz is determined
to give protection and preserve order, for
one reason because he desires TO MAIN
tain friendly relations with the United
States and again because he wishes to
show the antl-re-electionists that riots
viii not be tolerated. Much of the pres
ent disturbance is anti-Diaz disturbance,
under the guise OF anti-Ameriean senti-
ment. for the same people who hate
Americans also hate Diaz and accuse
him of selling out his country to Ameri-
cans.
Wires received here this evening de-
clare that everything Is quiet in the Mex
lean capital. save that once In a while
a stone is thrown at an American or his
residence or place of business. The
Americans are reported as having de-
cided, discreetly, to keep within doors
tonight and every night until things are
quiet again.
Public Is Cautioned.
President Diaz to-day issued orders that
the DiariO del Hogar wouldAbe confscated
if it published any further infiammatory
articles. and FL Impartial to-day eau
N'f't1 AAfr R1ofit " bc QuiCts ana tells
them that the republic of Mexico has no
better friend than the United States. II
further sets out that the United States
government is no more responsible for
the burning of Antonio Rodriguez at
Rock Springs last week than the Next
can federal government is responsible
for the kidnapping and holding for ran
som of an American girl in Mexico a
few days prior to the lynching In Texas.
It is believed that Gen. Diaz or En-
rique Creei. his secretary OF state. in
spired the article 1t appeiffs to have
had some effect. as the sentiment to-day
does not appear to be as~strong as YES
terday. and the majority of the Mexican
business and professional men deplore
the hasty action of the youngsters last
night and Wednesday. There were |
OF minor clashes in the streets
OF the City of Mexico to-day. but most
Of them were in alleys and QUITO -the-way
places, few occurring downtown. where /
the police and military were vigllant
II is reported that an American child /
was stoned TO death in Mexico city. but /
this is absolutely denied by Mexican on /
Gals. As the wires to Mexico City are /
nder-censorship and are owned by the /
government. about the only thing that Is
allowed 20 get outside to the public Is
