believe the United States, when it says
intervention is not intended. / think the
papers are slandering their own govern

government when it has given assurances
that the mobilization is only for the pur-

Havana, March Sit is reliably report
ed in Mexican circles here that Presi-
dent Diaz has recalled Gen Bernardo
Reyes from Paris to supplant Gen. Cor
ales and resume command of the Mexi-
can federal army. Gov. Molina, of Yucca
tan, was responsible for the reconciliation.
He induced personal emissaries of Diaz
and Reyes to meet here. Reyes son has
gone on to join Diaz and other relatives
of the exiled general are about to leave
here for the City of Mexico.
The opinion of Mexicans here is that
President Taft's action in mobilizing the
troops on the Mexican border is not un-
friendly, but calculated to impress upon
both factions that continued revolution
is menace to the republic. and that they
should. II necessary, submit to a recon-

Ban OH Carrying Dynamite
Reason for Lay-off.

FL Paso. March Slight thousand
of the Guggenheim interests in Mexico
will be thrown out OF employment on
April l if the Mexican government does
not lift the ban on the transportation of
dynamite. This had been prohibited since
the insurrection was brought about. This
will mean the closing of the smelters al
Chihuahua, Velardena, and Aguas Cali
entes.
When they shut down the mines will
also have to close for lack of smelling
facilities, and the result will be the prac-
teal shutting down of all mines in Mex
leo. Already the FL Paso smelter is pre-
parIng to close down its silver lead fur
naces because of lack of ores from Mex
leo, but its copper ores come from Ari-
zona and there will be no interruption to
its copper furnaces.
Many skirmishes and small battles are
reported around Cananea, the home of
the Greene Cananea mines and smelter
and also in the vicinity ot Chihuahua,
which Madero and his forces are reported
to have surrounded. Madero is expected
to attack Chihuahua this week.
