WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-Present
unsettled conditions in Northern Mex
leo and the danger to foreigners In
that region were today charged to n
collapse" of the Orozco rebellion and
the breaking up OF the rebel army
into small predatory bands, in a state
ment issued by Senior De La Cueya.
in charge of the main embassy. Senior
Cueva declared that the Mexican fed
eral troops had practically disSanded
the Orozco force, and that the scat
tered remnants were seeking to force
Intervention by the United States
through ravaging the border country
"It 81 certain" he said, that the
status of the foreign element in that
part Of Mexico where the scattered
elements of OroZco's army are now
wandering is much more uncertain
and precarious than It was when the
rebel forces were more combined
nominally under one leader. The col
lapse of the organized rebellion and
the dispensing Of the various elements
into predatory bands that are raVag-
Ing the country along the border with
out much regard for the actual To-
cation OF International boundary
lines, and recognizing no property
rights of Americans or other foreign
ers in the Mexican border states, has
followed as result OF government
success. This condition was predict
ed after the first really serious de-
feat Of Orozco forces in the state OF
chihuahua nearly two months ago.
One should remember, however, that
foreign interests in Sonora are great
er than in Chihuahua"
THE Mexican military leaders are
trying their best to run down and des-
troy the various marauding bands.
While success is attending their ef-
forts, It Is patent that the complete
restoration Of law and order in the
states OF Sonora and Chihuahua will
consume weeks and perhaps months"
considering the rugged character
OF the country and the almost total
absence of railroads, and even wagon
roads available for artillery use. great
progress already has been made by
the Mexican federal troops.
For this reason the Mexican ad-
ministration thinks that It may fairly
claim sympathetic consideration and
the exercise OF patience on the part
of those few public men In the United
States who have been clamoring for
intervention"

NEW YORK, Aug. 3O.-"Whltey"
Lewis" and "Dago Frank" Cirlofici,
the indicted gun men in the Rosenthal
murder case, were reported today TO
be ready to turn states evidence on
condition that they be let off with
light sentences, The men had re-
celved favorably, 1t was said, the Of
fer of certain lawyer who had visit
ed them In the Tombs today to use
his influence with District Attorney
Whitman to get them off with q light
punishment in return for a "squeal."
The lawyer assured them that this
was the one chance to escape the ex-
treme penalty of the murder charge
against them. according to the re-
port, and that they could probably get
off with five years each. The gun
men then authorized the lawyer to ne
gotiate terms with the district attor-
ney, 1t was said, but, owing to Mr..
Whitman's departure for Manchester,
to remain over Sunday, no conclusion
was taken by the lawyer
John f. Mcintyre. counsel for Lieu
tenant Charles Becker. indicted as In
stigator Of the murder issued a state
ment today declaring that "the trial
Of Becker in the newspapers has been
a disgraceful proceeding"
Mr.. Mcintyre denied reports that
"Gyp the Blood" and Lefty Louie"
would be produced by the defense as
witnesses, or that any witnesses for
the state had ebn spirited away.
Beckers counsel, It Is understood,
has agreed with District Attorney
whitman to interpose no legal tech
nicality looking to further delay of his
clients trial when Becker is arraign.
ed for pleading next Tuesday.

SAYS The U. S. IS RIGHT
DECLARES THE ENGLISH PEOPLE
HAVE TAKEN WRONG VIEW
or THE MATTER.
JNE ADVOCATES FORCE
One Journal Fayors Withdrawal By
Countries Affected of Their
Ambassadors.

LONDON, Aug. 3O.--The only En-.
sllsh journal thus far to approve tho
Panama canal toll act AS recently
passed by the United States congress-
Is The National" u radical weekly.
which In its leading article, argues
mat the exemption by the act of
congress- American coastwlse ships
SHIPS from the payment OF canal tolls
has not violated the Hay -Pauncefots
treaty.
"Falrminded people," says the Ma.
tlon' must recognize that the ex-
emptng clause Is not new grievance
upon the trade OF this or any other
country"
IL charges as n serious blunder,
'ifeat britains protest against tho
clause and adds that mo American
government could concede a point in
'olVing incidentally 80 grave a dis
turbahce or deep rooted policy, and
we do not for moment believe that
any International tribunal would de-
eide the matter In our favor.
In conclusion, the Nation says:
Those Journals OF Great Britain
md on the continent which are rag
lng with so much vehemence against
the claim OF America TO a right to re-
nit fees for her coasting vessels, are
beating the air. Their case liz found
ed upon complete misapprehenson
II the facts OF the situation. Though
his Misrepresentation seems to be
shared by not n few leaders OF public
opinion in the United States, this sup
port evidently is survival Of the
strong feeling aroused against tho
quite Justfiable claims In the earliar
draft Of the measure"
The Saturday Reviews concludes a
vituperous article denouncing the act
as follows:
Failing an arrangement between
the great nations injured, Yankee
perfidy will compel observance OF
treaties by force. Then by common
agreement they should withdraw
their ambassadors from Washington
and treat with the politicians who
hold sway there. as they would with
only the kind of states such people
are lit to govern"
The Spectator says:
THE first real test OF good faith
Of the United States Is yet to come. II
Will come on the question whether the
United States government will con-
sent to submit the dispute between
Great Britain and themselves to arbi-
tration at the Hague. We refuse to
believe that the United States will
not come out Of that test with honor.
II they should refuse the cause of ar
btration will be set back half CEN
tury and we shall have to add the
United States to the list of countries
in whose public review treaties have
not their face value. II every nation
OF the world thought in this way
about their relations with the United
States, 1t would be the United States
herself that would suffer most"
