Washington.--Accor to advices
from Toxic. Japan has secured from
Mexico the long-sought concession of
naval base at Magdalena bay, on
Mexican soil. The Monroe Doctrine is
thus violated. Washington believes
Japan has agreed, in return for the
concession. to support the Mexican
government with men and money.
Japanese. have long been accredited
with preparing for war with the
United States. Intervention Of the
United States in the Mexican revolu-
tion now seems necessary, and such
Intervention would give Mexico ex-
cuse for appealing to Japan for the
help that Nippon would be glad to
give against the United States.
Americans in Mexico are regarded at
Washington as in desperate straits.

Mexicans and Japanese.

ably explains the recent doubling of
United States naval strength on the
Pacific, for which Washington has not
given any satisfactory reason, and
also the request made recently that
all steamers from United States ports
to Mexican ports should be held In
readiness for any service that the
war and navy departments might ask.
Announcement of the granting of the
concession also throws new light
upon the shipping to the United
States ambassador in Mexico City of
an indefinite number of army rifles
and an immense quantity of ammuni-
