Only a rule of blood and iron
such as Pororio Diaz gave would

This in substance is the eX-
preston of members of the state
here today on the
Mexican situation and the appar-
ent failure of President Madero
to assure the safety Of American
citizens and American property in
Mexico.
At the department 1t was de-

not concerned as to whether
Mexico is a republic, an olifarchy
or a ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
wants only to be sure that Amer
lean citizens will be protected.
The state department officials
believe Madero's moderation Is
largely responsible for the dis
Iturbances. They point out that
Diaz' rule lasted more than a
score of years and that only
when his methods became more
humane was he overthrow.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 13
Indication that President Taft
has inside" information that
Theodore Roosevelt will not be a
candidate for the republican
presidential nomination is seen In
a statement made here today by
the president upon his return
from New York.
1.-The time has come" the pres
ident said, when the political at
mosphere must be cleared. The
next four months will be con-
sumed in showing up lies, hypoc-
risy and Misrepresentation.
Misrepresentation must be ex-
pected and met during the COM
ing campaign. The confidence of
the democrats is clearly mis-
placed. 1t is due to a misunder-
standing"
Stung by recent attacks on his
administration, President Taft
clearly indicated that in the flu
ture his policy would be one OF
offense as well as defense.
81 am not apologizing for my
administration" the president
told his friends, but l am merely

VITERBO, Italy, Feb. 10
With the resumption of argu-
ments in the Camorrist trial to-
day it is generally believed that
the state has failed to prove its
case and practically everybody
connected with the famous case
expects the accused men will be
acquitted.
That the men on trial were
connected with the Camorra
there is little doubt, but there has
been a total absence OF direct evil
dence to prove that any Of them
had any connection with the muir
der of Cuocola and his wife at
Naples.
The whole prosecution depends
largely on the testimony Of Alb
betticio, the informer, who
turned states evidence, and the
defense has cast grave doubt on
his sanity.
