CALL AMERICANS VANOALS
Wanton Acts in Mexico Lead
Limantour to Protest.
REVOLT KEPT UP By THEM
Madero Says Rebels Are Not
Worrying Over Presence Of
Our Troops on Border.


More than week has elapsed since
Sehor Yves Limantour. the Mexican Min
lister OF Finance. and the man recognized
TO be next TO Diaz." arrived in New York.
During his visit lie has received calls from
bankers and capitalists and others having
interests in his republic. and has also con-
ferred with Senor Francisco Leon de la
Barra. the Mexican Ambassador in Wash
ineton, but he has given no reason for MS
extended stay in New York. When he
came here he said he intended TO go 10
Mexico by way OF Key West and Yucatan
within three or four days. but he has ex-
tended his visit day by day.
He confines his activities as far as the
general public is concerned. TO issuing
daily statements TO the newspapers on the
situation in Mexico but it is surmised In
some quarters that during his daily alb
sence from the Hotel Plaza he may find
some time 10 confer with those interested
in the success and continuance OF the Diaz
regime. AT present New York seems to
he an important centre in the insurrecton.
as Sehor LimantOur and Gustavo Madero
the sponsor of the revolutionary propa-
ganda. are both here
Il dont believe that Sehor Limatour
knows exactly when he can get away"
said one conversant with the situation
Yesterday. Suppose he should get on, to
sea. between Key West and Yucatan. he
couldn't know which way the cat would
jump"
According 10 ahriel Msdero. p brother
Of Gustsvo their father. who has been IN
y
Lmantour The Maderos hold Limsntour
in high personal esteem. as tho Minister
was close TO them for years as their legal
counsel
l. is said that the representative NJ both
factions are irving 10 watch What the
others are doing. and there IS all sorts OF
talk about detectives who trail the foot
sters Il the Minister and Madero
Americans Destroy Property.
The daily statement OF Senior Limantour
which came out Yesterday. made the point
that in the destruction Of railroad property
and IN the supply Of arms and ammuni-
tior Americans seemed 10 ba more active
than the insurre-tos themselves senior
Limantour was clearly net,led By the par
ucipa'ion cf Americans IN the revolution
He said:
Americans r-ho have allied themselves
with tie inSurTectiondrv movement in
Mexico an scarcely expect protection
seem obvious that they should take their
own chances whe1 committing depredationS
to property. unoer a foreign nag.
! am firmly convinced that except for the
symps thy. fnanCia support and actual
participation in conflicts OF Americans the
lnsulrection IN Chihuahua and sonora
:
one reads Of the parts taken ~ Americans
IN that insurrection. and they are the ONLY
known leaders except Madero
This morning dispatches report that "A a
Young American. a former hroker IN New
York, is leading band Of desperadoes
along the lines ~ the National Railway ot
Mexico and the Mexico Northwestern Rall-
way toward Juarez. and that they have
torn IN additional stretches OF track on
these roads I wonder If these individuals
and other Americans who have had any
sympathy for or have taken any part in
that insurreCtion realize the fun slgnlhcanc-
and importance of their attitude and ac's.
One Of the callers on the Minister IN
the Hotel Plaza was John Barrett. director
general of the Pan-Americsn Union. He
spoke Of q letter received from an American
friend who said Diaz was in splendid
health.
James speyer. the banker also called
Washington. said before leaving town he
did not think he would return soon for an
other conference.
Gabriel J Madero said that his brother
Gustavo was ont all day talking with
friends and allies of the revolutionary
movement but when Gustavo returned 20
the Hotel As'or he would have nothing 10
saw However Dr.. Francesca Nasquez
Gomez leader ~ the Washington iunta
who has been here with the Maderos. talked
bit before he went back home Yesterday
He said in his apartments IN the Imperial
Hotel that the revolu'ionists would not sur
render unless their demands were granted
Otherwise they will fight N the death
The insurreCiionists are not worried
over the presence of American troops m
the border" he said. AS We think 'ha'
the movement Is directed against Mexico
as we'll as 70 stop smuggling
Tie government IS now realizing the
seriousness Of the revolution and the coun-
try IS alarmed lie continued There are
twelve thousand mon under arms in twentr
states out cf Nexico's thirty-one. In addi
ton 10 our physical strength actually in
tho field We have many American men IN

with Ms IN our struggle but are secretly
