FOREIGN TROOPS ENTRY BARRED
Consent Of Senate Necessary, Which

cessions Have Been Grant
ed Japan.

Washington, March 13.-Mexico will
resent intervention by the United
States or any other country for the
purpose of protecting the lives and
property of their citizens resident in
Mexico. Senior de la Barra, Mexican
ambassador to the United States, de-
clared that Mexico believes herself
fully competent to protect all inter-
ests in the country, not only her own,
but those of foreigners.
The statement made by Ambassador
de la Barra was as follows:
"The conditions in Mexico are nor
NAL with the exception of small por-
ton of the state of Chihuahua, where
little body of seditious men are car
rying on guerilla warfare that l hope
will be finished in the near future
1.-The best elements of Mexican citi-
zenship are in favor of maintaining
peace and order and that explains why
the seditious movement has been re-
duced to the guerrilla warfare in the
northern section of Chihuahua. Re-
ports published about the growth of
the seditious movement have been I'M
true and exaggerated.
1.-The constitution of Mexico forbids
the government officials, whoever they
be, to permit foreign troops to enter
Mexican territory without the consent
of the senate. My government, patri-
otto and strong, never has and never
will entertain such an idea or thought
with respect to the United States, be-
cause the relations between the two
countries are very sincere and frank
and the policies of the two govern
ments are founded on the sentiment
of sincere friendship and of respect of
justice"
Concessions to Japan Denied.
Mexico City, March 13.-The Next
co has granted to Japan no concession
for the maintenance of a naval sta
ton and no privileges on the Tehuan-
tepec railway, are statements which
Enrique G. Creel, minister of foreign
affairs, authorized Francisco L. de la
Barra, Mexican ambassador at Wash
ington, to make.
The increasing rumor in the United
States that Mexico had entered into
an agreement with Japan whereby the
latter was to be permitted to use GER
tain ports along the coast of Lower
California and to be granted speciaE
privileges for the transportation of
supplies over the Isthmian railroad,
caused Mr.. de la Barra to send to the
foreign Office request that he be per-
mitted to make a definite statement
regarding the charges.
Mr.. Creel has also asked Mr.. de la
Barra to extend to President Taft his
thanks for the latter's friendly atti-
ssss:!e and for the explanation he sent
to President Diaz relative of the mobil-
ization Of American troops.

NINE EXPLOSIONS IN TEN YEARS

Pleasant Prairie, Wis, March 13.-
With the vicinity of the wrecked Du-
pont powder mill a waste of disman-
tied homes, the first action of the
residents was toward the elimination
of the menace Of powder works from
the county. Indignation meetings at
which this demand was voiced were
held in Pleasant Prairie and Kenosha.
The effort to safeguard their homes
is to be pushed in the present session
of the Wisconsin legislature.
Nine Explosions in 10 Years.
There have been nine explosions in
10 years at the powder works. but no
disaster compared with the present
one in the extent of damages inflicted,
although more lives have been lost.
In the explosion of 1906 seven men
were killed, while two died of their
injuries.
Fragments of the body of F. S.
Thompson, the one man killed in the
explosion, We're found in pond half
a mile from the glaze mill, where he
met his death. The remains were
identified by Superintendent Clarence
Brady of the powder works and 9TH
ers.
That the explosion started in the
glaze mill where Thompson was killed
and that its cause was the defective
working of the machinery during the
delicate process of putting the last
touch OF nigh explosive 1inish on giant
powder was indicated by the state.
ment of Engineer Joseph Finn, him
self seriously injured, who was an eye
witness of the initial explosion.
Engineer Films statement of the
cause was supported by that of DR.. A.
j. Lowe, Of Pleasant Prairie, who has
frequently inspected the glaze mill
since its installation and is thoroughly
conversant with it's workings Both
assert that the heating and friction of
the powder in the huge hot air and
steel jacketed cylinders of the glazing
tanks brings the explosive to pre-.
carious poise as the process approach.
es completion.
Missile Hurled Two Miles.
A section of one of the shattered
glazing cylinders. steel missile more
than three feet in diameter and six
feet long, was hurled two miles and
crashed through the roof of a two
story building opposite the railroad
station, occupied by H. A. King as a
general store. The cylinder made an
eight-foot gap in the roof of the build.
ing and passing through the structure
was buried in the cellar
The financial loss to the company
is roughly estimated at 100000, but
the total loss due to the explosion is
too widely distributed even to be esti-
mated. Householders in Pleasant
Prairie say that their houses had been
weakened by previous explosions.
Three holes marked the sites where
three of the magazines had stood. The
holes were each more than so feet
across and as deep. One had broken
into spring and was half full Of
water
Trees for half mile around were
stripped of branches and shorn off
even with the ground. Part of the
engine house and the 1O0-foot brick
chimney of the plant still stand.
