States is determined to fulfill its inter.
national duties. among which is the
maintenance Of the sovereignty of other
countries and especially in dealing with
Mexico, with whom it has such friendly
relations.
Mexicans. officials and private citi
zens, appear to have accepted the view
that the mobilization of troops along
the border presages no invasion of the
country.
President Taft s official assurance
that there was no menace in the gov
ernmenJ step, together with the dis
closurc last night of its real object,
the stopping of hlibustcriug, has ap.
parenilv been accepted without reserve
aud with feeling of satisfaction.
The health Of President Diaz. which
appears to have been made a factor in
the situation in some quarters, has not
been impaired In the slightest degree
seemingly by the business of the last

A note of conservatism characterizcs
the present action of the news emanat-
ing from President Taft's special train

With one exception the papers of the
capital have INDUCED in no heavy criti-

With the exception of the Mexican
Herald, every paper in the city gave
The story of the explanation secured
by the Associated Press representatives
on board President Taft special sec.
ond place in these dispatches. Most of
the morning papers "'played up the
general news Of the revolution In the
later editions of El Hcraldo, an after
noon paper, the story secured on the
presidential train was crowded off the
first page and located on one of those
inside, the leading story on the first
page being one regarding a phase OF
the revolution in Gucatan.
Mexicans Are Optimistic.
Several dailies carry editorial com
ment on the explanation given last
night by the Associated Press but most
of them take an optimistic view of the
situation. FL TEMPO. a paper popularly
supposed to represent the view of the
Catholic clergy, is the most vigorous IN
its expressions. This paper snecrs at
the idea of intervention but warns the
Mexican government that q wise pro.
gramme mist be earned out II inter
vention is TO be avoided.
1t advises the government to make
such changes in the personnel of pub
lie officials as are necessary to allay
popular disapproval and to do IL at
once and without fear of offending any
one regardless of his political stand

FIntervention would not mean what
il did in Cuba, Hunduras or Nicara-
qua, military diversion easily real
ized." says FL TEMPO, l'and without
any lamcntablc result. II would mean
genuine war with Mexico; though our
frontier might be occupied, our ports
blockaded, our ports destroyed and our
communication with the rest of the
world cut off. -
Says Warning Is Intended
FL TEMPO suggests that international
war might follow intervention and sar-
castically ventures the opinion the
Americans would find it "bad for bust.

The mobilization of troops is character
lied as the command "attention - and
a warning TO Mexico to re.establish

The paper sums mp the progress be-

luton, finds it satisfactory and con

OF the country now rests with the gov

Railroad officials and other Amcri.
cans representing large business inter.
ests in Mexico express themselves ms
well pleased with the action of the
United States in sending an army to
the border, seeing in this nothing but
friendliness toward the Mexican gov.
ernment. The foreigners in Mexico
whose interests are here, sympathize
with the rebels and they heartily vel
come the suggestion that the American
government intends TO aid in their re
preston.
1t is difficult TO find one who be-
lieves it would be the policy of the
United States to do more than prevent
filibustering and the smuggling of arm:
