Limantour Admits Mexican Situation
Is Serious.

Mexico City, March 24.-Admitting
that Mexico is facing a crisis even
greater than he had believed, Finance
Minister Limantour said the admins
tration has no definite plans for the
solution of the problems confronting
the government
II has no alternative but 10 continue
the military programme on which II
had entered, he said NOtwithstand-
ing the governments aggressive atti-
tude. reforms which were intended to
remedy the alleged grievances are I'M
der consideration. The most import
ant of these reforms is that relative
TO the revision OF the electoral laws.
There is no disposition on the gov
ernment's part to oppose any wise
reforms which might be demanded by
a reasonable public. At the same time,
the administration does not propose
TO accede TO demands backed up by
arguments q arms.
In a word. the administration recog-
nized two classes in the dissatisfied
public-one represented by the intelli-
gent but non-combatant element, and
the other by the followers of Madero.
For the latter the administration has
no terms other than those formulated
at the war department
Such is the program announced by
Limantour as the result Of conferences
with President Diaz and other mem
bers Of the cabinet
one Of the first acts OF congress,
Which will convene on April /, will be
the consideration Of new appropria-
ton for carrying on the war. Whether
this means an increase in the military
force, Senior Limantour did not say
1t has already been officially stated
that Mexico's war resources scarcely
have been touched, and that an army
Of $4,000 men could be put In the field
If necessary.
Touching on the reform relative TO
the division OF great estates, the min
ister said the method OF acquiring
these properties had not been worked
out. He reaffrmed his Paris state
ment that such division OF the land
would be desirable.
Any new electoral law would, in the
opinion of the minister, have to be
the subject of most careful consider
alton and would need to be so framed
as 10 eliminate illiterate voters. Al
though this proposed change in the
electoral laws would not be intended
as any concession to the rebels, 1t is
the basic feature of their demands,
according to statements made repeat
edly by Madero and his associates.
