There Would Be No Intervention.
New York, March 1.-THE Wash
ington correspondent Of the New
York Press says this morning:
'It would appear that there is no
understanding between the United
States and Mexican governments re-
specting the troops on the border.
Senor de la Barra seems to be thor
oughly in earnest in his statement
that the president officially informed
him that the mobilization Of soldiers
had not even remote relation to
the internal troubles OF Mexico.
''It was a surprise. therefore, for
the Mexican ambassador to learn
through the state department that
the soldiers we're being rushed to the
Mexican border for the ultimate pur
pose of interference when the ,presi
dent should be convinced that condi
tions called for United States troops
south OF the Rio Grande. He said
the, president has evidently been de
ceived by financiors who want inter
vention."
