AGAINST INTERVENTION
The American Colony In the City of
 Mexico Took it's Stand.

While the situation seemed much mixed last week the governing body of the Society of the Ameri- can Colony in the City of Mexico, promulgated resolution of which copy was sent out by mail to 1700 addresses of Americans in that vicinity. It reads as follows:
 The Council of Administration of the Society of the American Col ony desire to place before you the following resolution adopted unani- mously at meeting held Satur- day, May 18th. This means of reaching you is made necessary by the refusal of"The Mexican Her aid" to publish the resolution.
 Resolved: That, in view of thu exaggerated reports which have been sent abroad, and especially to the United States regarding the situation of affairs in the City; as we'll as reports which have been circulated in and about the City which are calculated to disturb the equanimity and peace of mind of Americans resident in the Fed eral District, the Society of the American Colony, through its Council of Administration; keenly alive to the best interests of all Americans, feels that, in it's judg- ment there is no just cause for un- due apprehension on the part of tEe Americans residents here, and it has perfect confidence in the good will of the Mexican people and their ability to conserve. the best interests of Americans in Mexico. This Society furthermore is fully in accord with the present policy of neutrality of the American Gov ernment and it's attitude of non intervention.

CAPT. o'coNNoR RELEASED.
The Board of Control Restores Him
 to liberty.


 The popular conception of a hotel clerk is a man with three-carat diamond in his necktie, his mane draped artlstically over his classic brow, and propensity for exuding information on every topic under the sun. As it happens, that is not the kind to be found in Phoe- nix, and one of the most decided exceptions IS to be found at the Commercial in the person of Harry Johnson, who is on duty behind the desk at that popular hostelry.
 Harry is a hotel clerk and is Q good fellow besides. For one thing he is lawyer and will begin the practice of his profession at Phoe- nix. He came here from Tennes- see, where he had also been ad- mitted to the bar, and the fact that he does come from that state will. in the minds of many persons, fur nish sufficient guarantee that he will make good.
 Johnson's latest legal achieve ment culminated yesterday in the release from the territorial asylum of Capt. R. B. O'Connor, who, is will be recalled, was sent to that institution some months ago after long fight in the probate court of Santa Cruz county. After he had, been brought to Phoenix there was an attempt to secure his release oH habeas corpus proceedings, but Judge Kent ruled that he could not take cognizance of the case since the proper statutory grounds had not been laid for a proceeding. of that kind.
 Following the failure of this at- tempt Mir. Johnson was given charge of Capt. Connor's case and immediately set to work. Instead of going into the courts he took the matter directly to the board of control and finally after much effort succeeded in getting through a resolution discharging the cap tain from custody. Capt. Connor, his wife and son, who is major in the United States army, left last night for El Paso. It may be mentioned that the captain is 8 retired regular army officer
 It was about year ago that Capt Connor shot and killed Dr.. Russell of Nogales. A sensational trial followed, resulting in the &C., quittal of the defendant. An al- legation was then made before the probate court to the effect that Captain Connor had threatened the lives of some of the men who testified against him. He was ar- rested, an insanity inquest was or dered and the result of the inquisi- ton was his incarceration in the territorial asylum, from which he was released yesterday.
 The foregoing from the Arizona Gazette of Tuesday refers doubtless to Captain Stephen O'Connor, U. s. A. retired, whose tragic troubles have filled so much the attention , of the people of Santa Cruz county. The reporter got the name wrong, but the article is correct in the main.

PEACE IN MEXICO
HeQotlatlons gre Progressing, and Changes In Conformity Announced

C0uub q WCCh O SO utl di hIl@ttOC tidO been announced between the con- tending forces in Mexico, and an envoy from Provisional President Madero had arrived at Nogales, en route into Sonora and Sinaloa to meet inSurreCtO leaders and induce them to observe the terms of the armstice. The envoy is Manuel Bonilla, provisional governor of the State of Sinaloa, who it is an- nounced will be one of the cabinet officers in the reorganization of the federal government, which will pass practically into the hands of the insurrectos, if plans arranging are carried out. THE OASIS published a translation of the telegram sent by MT. Bonilla to all the insurrecto commanders
 Saturday morning MT. Bonilla went south on the train which de. parted about 8 o'clock. The bridge that had been destroyed near Ga. mou station, about 90 miles south of Nogales, was cribbed up, and the train got through to Hermosi- llo with little delay. There was at the depot to greet the insurrectO envoy large concourse of people, and General Luis E. Torres was at hand to meet him. The meeting between the two notables was cor dial, and they remained in confer ence together some little time. Afterward MT. Bonilla engaged an automobile and went along upon his mission. At last accounts he had reached Guamochil in Sinaloa, being greeted cordially and en- thusiastecally everywhere.
 In the north of Sonora all the iRSurrectO commanders are obeying the terms of the armistice, which has been extended fifteen days. Beyond Empalme it is reported that one or two plundering bands are making trouble. The provi- slonal state government has been established at Cananea, with Gen. eral Lomelliin charge temporarily. Francisco Gayou has been named provisional governor, and will go to Cananea and take charge. Juan Cabrals force was at Cananea al last accounts, and it has received numerous accessions. There has been published a rumor that Ca bral was approaching Hermosillo and Tn the event of certain contin. gencies would attack the place yes. terday or today. The rumor is not credited.
 Negotiations between the MaderC and federal governments are pro gfesslng satisfactorily. Sunday night an agreement was reached be- tween their respective commission CTS at Ciudad Juarez.

 Wednesday evening official an nouncement was made in the City of Mexico of the new cabinet, with the exception of the minister of justice who had not been agreed upon at that time. Following is the list as announced:
 Finance-Ernesto Madero.
 Interior-EmiioV Vasquez Gomez.
 Instructions-Dr. Francisco Vas quez Gomez.
 FOment0-Manuel CalerO.
 War-General Eugenio Rascon.
 Commu nications-Manuel Bo- nilla.
 Foreign Relations { sub secretary Bartholomew Carbajal y Rosas.
 Rafael Hernandez Madero prob. ably will be agreed upon as the minister of justice. He was sug- gested by Madero.
 Ernesto Madero Is the youngest man in the cabinet, being 5 years old.
 He is an uncle of Francisco 1. Madero and probably the wealthi- est of the Madero family. He is a banker and was a member of the governments commission named to devise a means for stabilizing the country's currency.
 Manuel Calero, for a time was sub-secretary of the department of fomento under Minister Olegario Molina. He is a member of the present chamber of deputies. Com paratively young man, he has gained nation. wide reputation as fearless orator.
 Manuel Bonilla has been a news paper man in Sonora, where he advocated the cause of the anti-re. electionists.
 pr. Francisco Vasquez Gomez was a member of the council of education appointed by Minister Sierra but resigned upon finding that his ideas regarding methods proposed for use in the preparatory schools were at variance with those of the minister. He came from the state of Tamaulipas and established in the City of Mexico large and wealthy clientele. He is fifty years old.
 Emilio Vasquez Gomez is a brother of pr. Gomez. He is an attorney. He was president of the anti-re election campaign.
 Eugenio Rascon is more than sixty years old. He was an officer in the liberal army at the time of French intervention. Since then Gen. Rascon has participated with credit in few minor campaigns.
 Rafael Hernandez Madero has distinguished himself as an attor- ney. He is young man and among Americans is we'll known because of his membership in an American firm of attorneys.
 Bartholomew Carbajal Y Rosas who will take charge of the foreign offices as sub secretary has just been serving as minister in Costa Rica. His work has won the com. mendation of the department.
 The provisional president, MT de la Barra, will remain at the head of the department of foreigr relations, but the details of the department will be under direction of the sub-secretary.
