can residents in Mexico from the circu-
iation of press dispatches telling of pro-
posed Intervention on the part of the
United States, the State Department has
felt compelled to issue another circular
to its diplomatic and consular represent
atives in Mexico denying "aIl foolish
stories about American Intervention.
and expressing the good will and sim
cerest friendship of the United States
government for Mexico. During the
former revolution which resulted in de-
posing Poririo Diaz and the election of
Madero as chief executive of Mexico. the
State Department issued a similar circu-
lar to counteract the effect Of newspaper
articles announcing Intervention by this
government.
Since the present trouble assumed seri-
Gus proportions similar stories have been
in constant circulation, and the depart
ment here has made every effort to stop
them by making clear its friendly policy
toward the sister republic of Mexico.
The government circular note has been
dispatched to all the representatives Of
the United States In Mexico, with in
structions to publish it in the local news
papers and use every other means to get
the denial of Intervention before the
populace of Mexico.
To Tell Of Friendship.
The American officials were instructed
10 leave no stone unturned in order to
make 1t plain that nothing was further
from the intention Of the United States
government than Intervention, and were
told to impress upon the people that the
United States has the sincerest friend
ship for Mexico and the Mexican people,
to whom 1t hopes the blessings Of peace
Will soon return"
Mexico's internal political affairs are
not matters Of concern to this govern
ment. according to the note. and the
american government demands nothing
out the respect and protection of Ameri-
can HE and property in the neighboring
republic.
The consuls were impressed with the
fact that they must observe the strict
fere with the conflicting parties, COUNSEL
ing american tesidents to act likewise.

Mexico Withdraws Request.
The Mexican government has with
drawn its request for permission to send
Mexican federal troops through Ameri-
can territory from Eagle Pass to El
Paso. Tex. for use in quelling disturb
ance i'm the vicinity OF Juarez. From ad-
vices received at the State Department
il appears that some law has been found
which prohibits the sending of troops out
of Mexico without permission from Con-
gress. Apparently this statute was for
gotten during the MaderO revolution, for
il was ignored.
President Madero is now endeavoring
10 obtain authority from the permanent
committee of the senate to send these
troops across the border line. No objec-
tion on the part Of the United States Is
anticipated.

Comment by German Papers.
BERLIN, ebruary 13.-The reported
murder of K. Hans Angleman. a promi-
nent German ranch owner at FL Provenir
i'm Mexico. has attracted the attention of
the newspapers here to the conditions
prevailing in Mexico. The general i'm
preston Is that the United States will be
forced ultimately to interfere i'm that
country.
The Boersen Zeitung, in commenting
on the subject. says:
Better a peaceful Mexico under the
United States than one devastated by
lebels."
Die Post declares that it would be
shameful for Germany to leave the
United States to exact punishment for
the murder of a German, and demands
the immediate dispatch Of the German
cruiser Bremen. now on the Atlantic sta
tion, to Mexico in order to take action.
