VIII Keep Hands on.

WASHINGTON. ID. C., Airil 90
Direct from President Taft came the
statement this afternoon that the
United States will keep hands or
the Mexican situation, despite the con-
lldent belief that >further rcpetition
Of the Douglas episode may he ex-
pccted. Following . conference at
the White House between the Presi-
dent, Secretary OF State Knox, Chair
man Stalser and Representatives Gar
ncr. Sharp and Foster, 1t can he au.
thoritattvcly stated that tina attitude
~ the administration remains un-
changed.
Four thingsn the President thinks
combine to create condition OF af-
fairs which he believes may result in
disorder along the border line, and
perhaps injury to Americans. They
are;
The obsolete neutrality laws; over
''yhelming pro-revolutionary sentiment
Of Americans along the line: inabili-
~ to control Irresponsible persona and
the fact that border tewns, because
they are customs ports, are strategic
points
Assurances have been received by
the President that Mexico on her side
OF the border will maintain re-
s,rIctive policy" The United States
viii exercise even greater care on
the American, SIDE to prevent inter-
ference In the Mexican situation by
irresponsible individuals"
The President believes the situa-
ticn can be controlled. He believes,
however. that there may be repetitions
of the Douglas incident.

The widespread belief that the
American Indian IL endowed with
k-ener eyesight than the white man
Ia vigorously denied by Dir. r. W..
Wyman. government physician to the
Sac and Fox Nation, who lives on the.
reservation In Oklahoma. There are
FIVE eye specialists employed by the
government constantly at work among
the Indians. and according to DIR.
Wyman their reports show that tlaa
eyes of the red men are decidedly leaa
keen than those OF white men. He
declares that such names as Eaglns
Eye and Hawk Eye. when applied
to Indians. may be descriptive Cf
some peculiar aspect of the bearers

special keenness of vision. DIR. wy
man adds the interesting statement
that Of the $50 Indians in the Sac and
Fox reservation $50 have undergone
operations for eye troubles.--From the

After consultation between Sec

ment was given out at the department
to-day:
'eThc Department OF State declines

Mexican government has expressed It.

question. IL Is inferred from the en-
haseys telegram that there IL some
discrepancy between the news which
has reached tho two capitals m to va
rtous particulars connected with the
Douglas incident
Further questions brought no re-
Spouse from the department, and IT
was declared that the statement en-
bodied all that would be said at this
time.
Zamacona Says It's Friendly.
Ambassador Zamacona to-day is-
sued the following statement:
The note addressed by the depar.-
dor Wilson refers to the lamentabie
events on the border and certainly
must be friendly in form and essence.
FOR /, is impossible to suppose for a
moment that IL might be in the least
nnfriendly or discourteoux The rela-
ffons between the two governments
have been most cordial. IL would be
very convenient to wait until the note
In made known in fun before ven
turing any comment on fragmentary
or unanthenticated quotations. The
press at present more than ever does
great good. II II directs its efforts TO
prevent public opinion from being un-
duly excited and misied This would
be a great help toward accomplish
ing the earnest wishes Of the Mexi-
can people and their government, In
order to preserve the friendly rela-
lions existing between both coun-
tries"
Iamacona said to-day that COM
plants had been made regarding par
tieipation by Americans in the fight
ing at Aqua Prieta In behalf of the
revolutionists. and that while he had
not received copy of the Diaz re-
ply. he would not be surprised If 1t
contained such statements.
