number of public buildings and his

He will lunch at the United States lega-

President Appears in Public.
Secretary Knox delivered formal ad-
dress in the course of the presidential re-
ception at the palace yesterday afternoon,
at which President Eladio Victoria api
peared in public, contrary to his usual
practice.
Mr. Knox cited the Dominican republic
as bright example in the struggle for
republicanism which had attracted the
helping hand of the United States. He
said that Dominicans could testify 'to
the unselfish spirit that prompts my gov
ernment to extend it's ready helpfulness
to all those who are prepared and willing
to help themselves to win stability and
good order"
Mr.. Knox added that he had had re-

ALARM FELT IN MEXICO CITY
Federal Defeats in Chihuahua and
Orozco's Success Are Regarded
as Ominous.

The strong showing made by the rebels
in the recent engagements with govern
ment troops near Jminez and in the di-
rect line of advance to the City of Mexico
undoubtedly has shaken the confidence
of some of the officials here in the easy
triumph of Madero over his enemies. They
are now recognizing the possibility, al
least, of an overthrow of the MaderO
government and the grave question is
beginning to assert itself as to the correct
attitude of the United States in the state
of turmoil and chaos which probably
would follow the clashng of the presi-
Dental aspirations of at least three or
four of the ambitious Mexican rebel
leaders
While there is still no thought of armed
Intervention in Mexico attention Is being
drawn to the fact that in Cuba and in
Panama and in Nicaragua, and in other
of the Central American and West In
dian republics. the United States govern
ment has laid down the doctrine that.
having regular constitutions, the various
disturbing elements in those countries
must be obliged to live up to them; that
the government must be representative
of the will of the majority of the people
freely expressed and that there shall be
no self-created despotisms.
Alarm in Mexico City.
The problem may soon be presented as
to whether some such representations
should not be made to ambitious aspi-
rants for executive power in Mexico in the
event of Madero's overthrow. Even in
such case it is confidently predicted that
there will be no necessity for an invasion
of Mexico, or for the exercise of anything
more than moral suasiOn, such as has
been potent in the case of other disturbed
Latin American republics.

Orozco's success there is looked upon as

the south is recognized, and Zapata seems
to be taking advantage of that fact. He
is reported to be fighting in that section.
The federals, following recent engage
ments In southern Chihuahua, retreated
to Torreon in a -demoraliZed condition,
and State Department reports say the
rebels were following them closely.

fact that tickets will be scarce.
No true line was to be had to-day,
says a New York dispatch. as to the
man McGraw will send against the Red

to be the man best fitted to stop Joe
Wood, as the Bostonese are known to
have been weak against the wet de-
livery, but McGraw is mum. Stahi
faces no such problems. He will pitch
Wood in the first game and send Col
Inns into the second. He can begin to
worry then.
