wife OF the counselor OF the embassy, resides with
her husband at the capital. There are said to
be some new women" in Japan and 1t may be
that when the Baroness Uchida and Madame
Matsui return to their native country they may
look upon the new movement among their sisters
as one not wholly to be condemned even in an
oriental land where woman's subjection to their
lord and MASTER man, is supposed to be complete.
These two Japanese women have taken an ex-
traordnary interest In the womans suffrage move
ment and moreover they are keenly alive to every
thing which pertains to the higher education of
women. The Pennsylvania education of Madame
Uchida gave her something more than what the
world is accustomed to call book learning.
Only recently the minister from Belgium to the
United States, the Count de Buisseret, trans

American capital for long time and here 1T was
that their daughter was born, an event which was
a cause for great rejoicing, for previous to the
arrival of the little girl the Buisserets had been
blessed only with boys, of whom there were five
to help pack the trunks the other day for the jour-
ney to the capital of the czars empire
The Countess de Buisseret is American. She
is the daughter Of General Story of California,

who prior to her wedding, was Miss Helen

Washington. Mr.. Havenith at one time was
Junior attache of the legation in Washington and
here he met, wooed and married Miss Ffoulke.
1t seems like string of condolences, but the
fact that three Belgian ministers in succession
have had American wives is much more than mere
coincidence. The predecessor of the Count de
Buisseret was the Baron Moncheur, whose wife
also is an American, the daughter of General

Mexico. Baron Moncheur has been twice married.

There are many reasons advanced for the

American service, but the underlying reason

by at once becomes of greater service to his gov

Tan ExpIaIns--Hs Has Nothing to
Fear From Maneuvers.

| Mexico City, March 9.-Setting at
rest all rumors that the United States
is preparing for Intervention in Mex
leo, President Taft today sent to Pres
ident Diaz telegram in which he
says the military maneuvers being con-
Quoted along the frontier in Texas
have no significance which should
cause concern to Mexico.
The message was transmitted to the
department of foreign relations by
Fred M. Deering, charge d'affaires of
the American embassy. Following is
the text:
II have the honor to advise your ex-
cellency chat / am in receipt of in
structions from my government direct
ing me to inform his excellency, Pres
ident Diaz, through the medium of
your excellency, that the president of
the United States wishes to express
the hope that no misrepresentation will
result from unfounded and sensational
newspaper conjectures as to the mill
tary maneuvers about to take place in
Texas and elsewhere, and to give
President Diaz assurance that the
maneuvers have no Significance that
should cause concern to the friendly
neighbors of the United States to the
South -
A calm and dispassionate view of
the mobilization appears to have been
taken here by the Mexicans. No ex-
citement followed the appearance of
the news. Dailies in Spanish as well
as the American morning newspapers
give much space to the details of the
movement.
In some quarters, nevertheless, the
explanation given out at the White
House as to the significance of Presi-
dent Taft's order was viewed with
skepticism. This was particularly
true as relating to American residents
in the city, many of whom profess to
see in it the first step in a move to-
ward Intervention.

PINcHoT FIRST TARGET.


Washington, March 9. = Secretary
Ballinger has not yet definitely deter
mined upon his plans for institutine
libel suits against his detractors, but
1t is understood he will open proceed
ings with a suit agaist Clifford Pin
chot, into which he will introduce
much evidence that has not yet come
to the attention of the public.
He will also institute suit against
Golfers Weekly, and possibly may
extend his suits to others later on.
He will first go to Seattle, however,
and probably will perfect his arrange
ments there. He will leave Washing
ton as soon as his successor arrives
and takes his oath of office.
1t is understood in Washington that
the selection of Mr.. Fisher for Secre-
tary Of the interior was brought about
large u. by Private Secretary Norton,
who Is to retire from the White House
in few years. Norton has been
quietly working for some time to
bring about the selection of conserv-
ationist for secretary Of the interior
and last summer at Beverly inspired
the story that Ballinger was to retire
on September 10.
That story was given the Associated
Press and other press associations on
the assumption that Ballinger would
regard it as hint, but, when Balm
ger saw President Taft he discovered
that Norton's advice was purely gra-
tuitous and did not reflect the wishes
of the president.

After referring to Mr. Fishers ser
vices in securing the settlement of the

and who visited Alaska last year at
the request of President Taft, has now
suggested that the method of adjudi-
eating the Chicago controversy might
be adopted as an equitable basis for
the settlement of the Alaska coal land
claims.
In the statement, Mr.. Fisher is de-
clared to be man whose information
on such subjects as irrigation, reclaim

and comprehensive. In politics, it is
set out that he is Republican of

The dispatch, dated at Charlottes-

Presidents train passed tonight at

"All doubt as to the purpose of the
government in sending 20, 900 troops

been swept away. The United States
has determined that the revolution

ARMY DEFEATS ITSELF.
Internal Dissention Breaks Up So
ciaIist Colony


Mexicali, March Without the
firing of hostile gun, the army of
liberation, which was to have estab-
lished socialistic republic in Lower
California, with this little hamlet of
adobe houses as the capital, has been
beaten. 1t encompassed its own de-
feat. When the Federals come, in all
probability, they will find nobody to
fight. Dissension, rampant for more
than week, reached the crisis today.
In the face of the enemy, which is ex-
pected to strike blow any hour,
handful of insurrectos manning the rifle
pits again voted lack of confidence
in the leaders, Leyva and Berthold.
John X. Turner, the writer, said to be
close to the revolutionary junta in Los
Angeles, declared them both outlaws
and asserted the junta would with
draw all support if they did not obey
the mandate of the men and step
down. In spite of this, Leyva and
Berthold remain defiant, standing pat
on the coup they worked three DAYS
ago when they regained power from
Captain Stanley.
