Manoeuvers.
SAYS RELATIONS ARE FRIENDLY

Washington, March 23.-President
Taft and Baron Uchida. the Japanese
ambassador, held conference In the
executive mansion. The president
sent for the japanese ambassador In
order TO assure him that the reports
that the movement Of United States
reserves to the Texas border were In
any way brought about by alarm over
what Japan might contemplate were
without foundation.
Primarily, the president called In
the japanese ambassador to congratu-
late him upon the contamination OF
the negotiations for the treaty of com
merce and navigation between the
United States and Japan. The formal
exchange of treaties between the two
nations would be made on April 4.
The president told the Japanese am
bassador that never, so far as MS
knowledge permitted him to speak,
had the relations between the United
States and Japan been more friendly.
Jap War Talk Ridiculous
The president told callers that he
was very much surprised when he
returned from his southern vacation
to find reports of trouble with Japan
fying through the country. The presi-
dent told his visitors that such re-
ports were most ridiculous and I'M
warranted.
The Mexican tangle was taken up
by the cabinet. IL was the first meet
ing of the presidents official family
in two weeks. but other business was
of secondary importance compared to
the discussion Of the Texas manoeuY-
res and the situation in the republic
south OF the Rio Grande.
II was decided at the cabinet meet
ing that it is now time for this gov
eminent ito stadd pat" Affairs In
Mexico and in Texas just at present
are in status quo, and no further dem

plated. The administration advisers

government can do at present, and
that il is best that Mexico be left
entirely free to see If she cannot work
out her own salvation.
Expect Peace in Mexico.
There was a feeling among some
members OF che cabinet at least that
the two factions in Mexico will get
together, despite the announcements
TO the contrary Of the insurrecto
iuntas in various cities in the United
States.
There was also expressed a belief
that President Diaz and his govern
ment are not in such bad shape as
has been reported. Notwithstanding
the belief, there is great interest In
official circles as to who might sue
coed Diaz. There is little doubt that
Washington was Inclined to look with
favor for a time upon Finance Min
lister. Limantour, but since the minis
ter gave out interviews criticising the
United States for attempting TO
"coerce" Mexico by sending the troops
to Texas his stock has fallen consid-
erably here.
