Diaz Not Disturbed.

Mexico City, Mexico, Marca 7.-Ap- parently not perturbed by the reports that the United States is preparing to invade his country with an army of 10000 men, and setting at rest the rumors that he is a man desperately in, General Diaz took his customary stroll this afternoon through the grounds of Chapultepec Castle.
 Although aware of the plans for mobilization of the American army along the international boundary, Mexico's president did not permit this news to interfere with the ordinary routine of his business. He passed the forenoon at the executive offices in the place and the program ar ranged for the afternoon was not varied.
 At 10 o'clock tonight he was still receiving at his residence those whose business he had not been able to take up during the ordinary working day.
 He had not yet had dinner. His only recreation during the day was the stroll through the park, when he was accompanied by MT. Diaz and his son, Colonel Porfirio Diaz, Jr.
