Ell PASO, Feb. 24.--Bold charges
against President Taft in connection
with the troubles in Mexico are con
tanned in the insurrecto manifesto
seized here tonight by United States
and state authorities. Five THOUSAND
copies of the circular were ready for
distribution among the Mexicans
when the raid was made on the Next
can printing office.
The manifesto in part follows
ITO the President of the United
States of America: There have been
SO many bad acts in Mexico caused
by your great efforts of expansion
and domination, that it would be a
crime of lese patria to suffer them
in silence longer.
you have created, fomented and
consummated the revolution that
placed in power the traitor who is
governing our country and even this
does not seem to satisfy. Your troops,
armed, have invaded our territory.
(This refers to nineteen infantrymen
who mistakenly rode into Juarez on a
street car while under arms.)
In the name of civilization and lib
erty, you go through the continent
and outside OF 1t in the pursuit Of
power and the dollar, like cossacks on
unbridled horses tramping down lib
erty and leaving everywhere odium
and acts of shame
| You have gone through the Latin
American countries making them in
! imical to one another and destroying
their nationalities, abusing your pow
er and showing that, as GOVERNOR,
you are far inferior to these people.
I'm the name of the Monroe doc
trine, that, like the head of Janos,
/ has two faces. you appropriated Ha-
| wall because of future fear of Jap
an. You took the Panama canal zone.
/ The Cubans did not blow up the
Maine. Spain did not. Wall street did
with It's Imperialism.
THE revolution of Madero was
made by you for revenge. You put
him in power so that the country
would be in state of anarchy and
so that the interests of some of your
adventurers would suffer, SO you
might have pretext to holler yer,
4 loud; SO that the interests of Euro
peans would also suffer, and with
the acquiescence of Europe you would
impose upon us your hellish Monroe
ism, and later, when the country
