Hundreds Parade Streets of City of
Mexico In Demonstration.
Mexico City, Mex.-Barred from the
chamber OF deputies by order of Presi-
dent Madero because of the noisy
demonstration in which he and his
political adherents were Kissed and
derided, and the name of Diaz was
frantically cheeIed, hundreds of resi-
dents marched through the streets Sat
urday night and shouted disapproval of
the new executive and ''vivas" for their
exiled ruler.
Mounted police were ready to dis
perse the mob and the entrances to
the chamber where the deputies were
in executive session were heavily
guarded.
The situation is almost identical
with that Immediately preceding the
fall of Diaz, with the exception that
shifts have been made in the cast of
characters. The disorders had as a
basis the same discussion-the seating
of doubtful members of the chamber
as the previous day, when the gallery
Kissed Madero and shouted the praises
of Diaz. They were precipitated by
the rejection of Francisco Pascual
Garcia, leader of the Catholic wing
whose election was unquestioned.

undoubtedly was, can be found. That
robbery was not the purpose is shown
by the fact that the mans pockets had
not been rifled.

UNCLE Sam WARNS
CENTRAL AMERICA
OUR POLICY In ITS RELATION
DEFINED In A RECENT
LETTER To THEM.
Will Support Established Govern
ments Against Revolutionists Based
on Selfish Designs-Must Have True
Elections-We Will Use Force of
Arms to Protect American Legations.

Washington.-The policy OF the Uni
ted States in its relation with revolu-
tion-torn little neighbors in Central
America and the West Indies is de-
fined in an instruction from the state
department embodied in a note pre-
sented by Minister Weitzel to the Mic
araguan government, the text of which
was made public by acting Secretary
of State Wilson.
The communication is expected to
create a profound sensation in Latin
America, for while it was addressed to
Nicaragua, it will be recognized as a
general warning.
Americas purpose, the instruction
declares, is to foster true constitutional
government and true elections, and to
this end strong moral support will be
given established governments against
revolutions based upon the selfish de-
signs of would-be despots and not upon
any principle or popular demand
Force will be used, if necessary, in
maintaining free communications with
and to protect American ministers and
legations. This policy already has
been adopted in San Domingo, Panama
and Honduras

"The policy of the government OF
