other day.
Il had occasion some time ago to
write to the department about an
Alaskan subject that had no bearing
on the situation. I have just received
an answer that does not commit any
body, but it had on it the initials of
at least six persons, showing that the
reply had been thoroughly considered
and revised before it was started in

LImantour as lntervenor.

New York, March IS The Mexican vice consul here, Manuel A. Esteya, made long statemeit to the press today, in which he unexpectedly con firmed the understanding that Senor Limantour, the Mexican minister of finance, is the bearer of important proposals from the insurrectos to the administration.
 Permit me to say" he argued, that it seems to me a great mistake for the newspapers to print from day to day rumors from the Texas bcrder as to whether MT. Limantour will be permitted to make the journey safely across Mexico. He Is returning to Mexico with important plans with re- spect to reforms and the general inn provement of the country' This fact, the vice consul argues, should be regarded as of the greatest importance. but the publication of rumors that insurectos may burn the bridges ahead of Senor Limantour's train," he says. might incite individ- uals who had not thought of such thing to interfere with ais prompt re- turn.'
 | As a matter of fact, it is known that members of the Madero family I}lere have advised Francisco l. Made- ITO, provisional insurrecto president not to block Senor Limantours jour aey
 Heretofore, all the government pro- lnunciamentos have referred to the in- surrectos as the "disturbers of the peace" some times as anarchists, |Vr more slightingly as merely "disor- derly persons" The Mexican vice con. sarl today takes a different tone He argues against the publication of sen sational articles, both in the newspa- pers and the magazines and then in analysing their effect, he explains:
 In tae first place the Mexicans en- gagged in the insurrection are mostly above the peon class--men who can read and write with no difficulty whatsoever. They have not only been able to read the newspapers them selves, but have given the substance of their contents to the ignorant"
