 OF SITUATION.

 Fioated. A

New York, March 7.-Mexico needs no aid in keeping peace or protecting foreign interests. within her borders in the opinion of Jose Ives Liman- tour, Mexican minister of finance, who arrived here tonight from Europe aft CT placing more than $50,000,000 of his country's bonds in Paris. AS to the outcome of the irsurgent strug gle, he added, the federal government was sure of ultimate success.
 The sending of American troops u the border has nothing to do with the affairs in our country Senor Liman- tour said. of course, the presence of a large body of soldiers might have a good moral effect upon the insurgents, but the United States troops certainly are not going across the border to fight"
 As one of the most influential men in Mexico, Senar Limantour's arrival here vas interpreted as signal for a series of conferences with promi- nent Mexicans, including Senor De La Balca, the Mexican ambassador, and Colonel Portlrio Dlaz, Jr., son of President Diaz.
 DSenor De La Barra reached the city early in the day under the impression that the Kron Prinz Wilhelm, on which Senor Limantour arrived, would dock in the morning and hurrired back to Washington this afternoon. If Colonel Diaz was in New York to- night he could not be found and SenoT Limantour denied that he was to have a conference with him.
 Tt is reported, senor that If the United States does not act immedi- ately to protect the rights of foreign CTS, some other power will. Is this true?" he was asked.
 Tt is to laugh" ne replied, "this talk of Mexico requiring the aid of a foreign power to do this. The Mexican government does not recognize a |state of war. It recognizes that only in |dividuals are causing trouble. It will deal with these individuals just as the United States would deal with per sons who are disorderly. These indi- viduals must lay down their arms and then the government will deal with them. There are certain questions of reforms which should be studied which the government is now study ing, but these reform must be accom- plished as matter of government policy and not as the result of any agreement with the insurgents. There can be no agreement with them"
 Senor Limantour was accompanied by his wife, who has been undergoing medical treatment at Paris since Au- gust. They will go to Havana in 2 few days and thence to Yucatan to spend a short time vita friends. They expect to be in the Mexican capital as soon thereafter as possible.
 Speaking of his mission to Paris, |Senor Limantour said that Mexico was not in need of money now, be. cause success had crowned his mis- sion to dispose of an issue of per cent conversion bonds expiring in 1945 and taking the place of similar bonds bearing per cent interest. The issue was for s110,000,000 or whereabouts, he said, and he had dis posed of about half of this amount
 You see your sensational Mexican news didn't do our credit any harm" de declared.
 "It is said, however, senor, that the Mexican censor used the blue pencil freely" was suggested
 There is no such think as a cen sor in Mexico" he answered. You can tell the man who told you that that he Is liar"
 If proposed reforms in Mexico. which he outlined in an interview in Paris not long ago ne said that for years the government had been giv- ing profound study to the more gen. eral distribution of land, involving the parcelling of large estates among the inhabitants. The government would welcome suggestions and dc anything it could to effect this reform he said not because it was one ol the insurgents demands but because il was the governments policy.
