WARNS THE PRESIDENT
OF. PERL IN MEXICO
Dr.. Buckley Says American
Financial interests Are Try
ing to Force intervention,

That the administration Of the United
States. at the instance of American
monopolists representing 500. 900 900 of
property interests in Mexico. is bent upon
the invasion Of Mexico and failing
one excuse will find another, is the opin-
lon expressed by DR.. J. Edward Buckley.
q returned traveller from Mexico.
DR.. Buckley recently filed complaint
that the diplomatic agents OF the United
States had failed to afford him proper
protection in Mexico. carrying his cause
into court when The State Department
declined to consider his charges.
The proceedings for writ of man
damus to compel the State Department
officials to produce the correspondence of
Dr. Buckley and the diplomatic repre-
sentatives in Mexico are pending.
Special Delivery to Taft.
Protest against the prosecution Of plans
for a Mexican invasion, a. declaration OF
the futility of such course and a warn
ing of the consequences are contained in
letter from DR.. Buckley. delivered to-
day by special delivery at the White
House, addressed to President Taft. That
the issue be left to the Mexican factions
to fight it out is urged in DR.. Buckley 8
communication.
Within twenty-four hours of any act of
invasion, declares Dr. Buckley, Ameri-
cans in Mexico would be killed. Japan
would seize the moment to strike at the
Philippines and start something like real
war, bloody. expensive, ruinOus and long
continuing, is the hint OF the dark sequel
given to the President by his correspond
ent
the revolutionists, he declares. He as
serts that they would provide better pro-
lection for aliens and a better govern
ment for Mexico than the Diaz admin
iStration.
If the American patrol Of the border
should be removed, says DR.. Buckley,
discussing the situation In Mexico, the
revolutionists would prevail over the
Diaz regime within six months.
Ruled by a Clique.
Mexico is ruled by clique. asserts DR..
Buckley, composed of five or six promi-
and Creel head and shoulders of the COM
bination-supported by American trust in
terests representing a vast investment
ordinates who do the bidding of the inner
council and share the spoils.
The American trust interests, he says,
have represented to the American gov
ernment the necessity of intervention fOr
the safeguarding of American property,
which, says DR.. Buckley, has never been
in danger-with the real object of suS-
tanning by American arms the Diaz ad-
ministration menaced by revolution so
widespread as to seem likely Of success.
Now that public sentiment in Mexico,
according to DR.. Buckley, has forced a
protest against the magnitude Of Ameri-
can preparations. ostensibly to guard the
border and to patrol the coast. another
excuse in the danger to American prison
ers has been sought to justify tnterven-
ton by the United States.
Dr. Buckley declares his confidence
that the purpose of the American admin
istration Is to have the American troops
cross the border. He does not think any
thing will be allowed to block the way.
Madero Praises Limantour.
NEW YORK. March 1.-THE Madero
family here is watching the progress
of Jose Yves Limantour toward the
Mex can frontier with the greatest
anxiety. When they saw dispatches to-
day relating that the insurrectos pro-
posed to burn the railway bridges
south of Laredo, thus cutting Liman-
tours route to Mexico City. they showed
grave concern.
THAT would be mistake said
Gustavo Madero; "Limantour Is q
practical man and the country needs
him. He ought not to be kept out"
As showing the attitude OF the Ma
