New York city today
Ambassador de la. Barra, tc confer will
Minister Limantour, departed from Wash
ington this morning about . o'clock, ant
is in the metropolis at this time.
Whether Minister Limantour had SEN
for Senior Gomez: or whether the repre-
sentative of the revolutionists has beer
granted an interview on his own initia
tive. or whether Senior Gomez, without
preliminaries. proposes to approach the
Mexican minister on the possibility that
he will receive him on request. the in
formant of The Star was unable to say.
Denial at the Embassy.
That Minister Limantour, Ambassador
de la Barra and Senior Gomez are In New
York for triangular conference is, EN-.
phatically denied at the Mexican embassy
Nothing is known there of the presence
of the revolutionary representative In
New York. and speculation as to his rea-
sons for proposing an interview with
Minister Limantour was barren of plau-
sible theories
THE Mexican ambassadors visit to
New York has nothing to do with the
presence there Of Senior Gomez" de-
clared Senior Don Carlos Pereyra, first
secretary of embassy and charge DAT
flares Minister Limantour is near to
President Diaz, and he is also a per-
.sOnal friend of Senior de la Barra.
1t is perfectly natural that the am
bassador should want to discuss with a
member of the Mexican ministry, who is
about to return to Mexico, the business
of diplomacy between the United States
and Mexico. There are many matters
besides the present subject of news
paper excitement
- Guest Of Banker Speyer.
Besides. Ambassador de la Barra is
to be the guest at dinner tonight at
the home of James Speyer. the banker.
The ambassador has also taken ad-
vantage Of the Saturday half holiday
and Sunday to pay visit to his brother
Senior Barnabe de la Barra, who. with
his wife. resides In New York city, al
the Belmont. The ambassador will re-
turn Tuesday morning.
1T is not true that he has gone to
New York for a conference with Senior
Gomez. 1t would not be proper. for
the ambassador could not recognize him
rs representing anything
At the home and headquarters Of Senior
Gomez, go New York avenue, a fellow
ledger. young Mexican law student,
explained that the representative OF
gone for the purpose of seeing Minister
Limantour. He could add little informa-
ton to this mere statement of a fact.
No Treaty With Japan.
That there is any secret treaty of al
lance with Japan: that japan has asked
for concessions to permit the establish
ment of a naval base at Magdalena,
Lower California, or anywhere else in
Mexican territory. or that it has any
rights in or is seeking control of the
Tehuantepec railroad. is all emphatically
denied at the Mexican embassy.
Secretary Pereyra said that the embassy
has dispatches from Minister Creel today
saying that the reports have no founda-
ton in fact.
You will say that it is utterly con-
tradicted at the Mexican embassy" he
added.
I'VE have no foreign colonies in Mexi-
90 such as you have here, either in the
cities or in the rural sections. There are
some laborers and workers. some of them
japanese, but in no enormous numbers.
No Colonies of japanese.
There are practically few Japanese il
Lower California, and nothing like the
10000 reported to be there and in the
western and northwestern states Of Mexi
CO. There Is, in fact, no place in al
Mexico where the japanese are gathered
in force
A message has been received at the
embassy from Minister Creels thankins
President Taft for his assurances thai
all the Intentions of the United State.
in respect to Mexico are friendly to ma
ton and government, and another an
nouncing that President Diaz has order
ed the publication of President Taft:
message, for the purpose of allaying pub
lie apprehension OF the purposes of tn'
American army maneuvers in Texas ant
to make the Mexican nation know Their,
is no cause to feel aggrieved.
That Mexico would resent Intervention
by the United States or any other coun
Try for the purpose of protecting thu
lives and property of their citizens resi-
dent In Mexico was the statement mad,
yesterday by Senior de la Barra. The am
bassador declares that Mexico believes
herself fully competent to protect all in
terests In the country. not only her own
but those of foreigners.
Statement by Ambassador
The statement made by Ambassador d.
la Barra is as follows:
The conditions in Mexico are norma
with the exception OF a small portion o
the state Of Chihuahua. where a littl
body Of seditious men are carrying on
guerrilla warfare that I hope to see hin
ished in the near future.
The Mexican government is full
strong enough to protect properties an
lives of its own countrymen and thos
rom foreign countries, and to main
tain peace.
The best clements OF Mexican cti
zcnship are in favor of maintainin.
peace and order. and that explains VIII
,dc seditious movement has been re
duced to the guerrilla warfare in tn
northern section Of Chihuahua Report
published about the growth OF the sc
Cittous movement have been untrue an
exaggerated.
Tire constitution of Mexico forbid
the government officials, whoever the
be-, TO permit foreign troops enterin
Mexican territory without the consen
of the senate.
My government. patriotic and strons
las never and never will entertain sue
an idea or thought with respect to tn
United States, because the relations be
