through her minister to Mexico. Ber-

made formal protest 60 the foreign
office against the assassination OF six
subjects of King Alfonso, ip the state
Of puebla last Monday.
Mexico now finds herself In diplo-
matte controversies with three nations
as the result of incidents growing out
o fthe revolution.
1t Is not believed. however, that
those with Spain and Great Britain
will involve anything more serious
than the formal exchange of notes,
The incident that has resulted In
the Spanish representations occurred
on the Ateneingo hacienda In the
state OF Puebla, the property Of Angel
Diaz Rubin, Spaniard. A small
band of rebels swooped down upon
the office of the hacienda where nine
of the employees, all Spaniards, were
gathered
without warning. they forced their
way into the room and demanded 5000
pesos, They were told they could
have no money. In reply the rebels
declared they wanted more than
money; that they wanted the lives OF
the ranehers and then, II Is said, be-
gan an onslaught upon the Spaniards
with machetes,
The latter fed The rebels called
after them, run for we are going
TO shoot" II is reported.
The rebels did shoot and six Of the
nine men fell fatally wounded.
II was on this hacienda that rebels
appeared some days ago and secured
rifles, ammunition and $4,000 pesos.
Following their attack OF this week
the rebels sent word to other em-
poyes that they had taken this means
Of ayenging what they styled treach-
cry. They declared that following
their first raid the Spaniards had Civ
en- the authorities Information as to
their Whereabouts and that sinse then
the troops had been pursuing them
closely.
This afternoon Minister de la Barra
gave assurance that Mexico would do
all In Its power to punish the guilty
persons and expressed his regret tnat
such an incident should have occur
red, especially since the victims hap
pened TO be foreigners and In no way
implicated in the fight against the
revolutionlsts.
Regarding the Shearwater incident,
the foreign office expressed the opin-
Ion that landing of marines at San
Quentin, In Lower California, by Cap
tain Vivian would be satisfactorily
explained by Great Britain.
Minister de La Barra said the note
sent to England was cordial, calcu-
lated to show the consideration which
Mexico feels for Great Britain al
though insisting upon the mainten-
ance Of Mexieo's rights,
The government Is not ready to an-
nounce the names Of the men who
will represent II In the peace confer
ence and no statement has been made
as to where the meeting viii be
held. There is good reason for be-
lIeving II will be on Mexican terri
tory, Al the foreign office, the an
nouncement was made this afternoon
that the armistice would be extended
for fiye days and Minister do La
Barra expressed the opinion that no
further extension would be necessary
as an agreement could he reached
within that time.
Personalities will not be allowed
TO enter into the discussion of the
peace agreements said Minister de
La Barra. matters OF secondary
consideration win be set aside The
attitude or the government Is based
on the highest patriotic motives.
"The government Is prepared to act
within reason and TO do all In Its
power to arrive at a satisfactory
agreement which viii work for the
progress and good of the country. The
government Is prepared TO SO furth-
or and win make sacrifices In reach
Ing an agreement,
"l believe Mr.. Madero and his as
sociates are actuated by similar mo-
tlyes in the consideration OF peace
proposals. There Is therefore In my
opinion. ground for the belief that
we shall reach an early settlement"
