REACHES AMAZING FIGURE
Total of American investments In
Mexico.

Mexico.
New York, March 9.-That the total
Of American dollars invested in Mex
leo reaches the amazing figure of
81 500000,000 was the assertion of
financiers here.
With the exception of the hardware
trade, which is dominated by Ger
mans, the street railways and meat
packing, which are financed by Cana
dian and British capital, and the cof-
fee industry, which is native con-
cern, all lines of industry are con-
trolled by Americans.
The American railway and mining
investments are great and constantly
increasing Mexican companies have
headquarters in nearly every big city
in the United States and the money
for their exploitation comes from the
investing public of this country.
The banking firm of Kuhn, Loeb &
Co. is the financial agent of the Mex.
ican government.

Washington, March 9.-Whether or

the moving of a portion of the navy

neuver many persons here familiar
with political conditions in Mexico re-
gard the action of the United States at
this particular time as likely to have
an important bearing on future events
in Mexico.
Persistent reports have reached this
city that change in the cabinet of
President Diaz will soon be made and
the state department also has been SO
informed unofficially. 1t is suggested
that the military demonstration of the
United States, whether SO intended or
not, may have potential influence on
the political crisis in Mexico City.
Senior Limantour, Mexican minister
Of finance, who is now in New York,
Is slated for the post of minister of
foreign affairs. Senior de la Barra, the
Mexican ambassador, will confer with
Senior Limantour in New York short

turbulence In Mexico, especially Senor
Limantour's plans for restoring the re.
public to civil as well as political
tranquility, will be discussed
Senior de la Barra, before leaving
here, declared that the mobilization OF
troops by the United States along the
Mexican border is rot interpreted by
his country as the forerunner of inter.

Despite official Protestations That the

That II Has a Vital Connection With
the Unsettled Conditions in Mexico
Washington, March 9.-Telegrams
are pouring into the headquarters OF
the army showing that the movement
of troops to the Southern frontier OF
the country is proceeding with the
smoothness and regularity OF clock
work. More than 100 kilograms al
ready have been received and the
celebrity with which the orders have
been carried out it is said i'm military
quarters would give the impression
that the movement was an every day
occurrence. Not a hitch has been en-
countered and practically the entire
force of 10000 men is now en- route to
the lower part of Texas and Califor
mia.
The troops are equipped with ball
cartridges, although it is the practice
to supply troops with blank ammuni
tion for practice exercises or peaceful
maneuvers. Notwithstanding this
: however, official Washington still
maintains that the movement Is mere
ly a plan of practice to determine the
efficiency of the fighting arms of the
country in mobilizing and concentrat
ing on short notice.
While this is held to he true, tech
nically, the general impression pre-
walls that the sudden and extensive
military activity has vital and direct
relation to the revolutionary move

state, war and navy departments ii
