the Young Hotel, and will remain
/ il December 10, when he will leave
his pest on the s. 5. Tenyo Maru.
arrived yesterday morning on the
X. X. s. $. Kiyo Maru, having
|aped the inconvenience of the fumi-
lon thai the vessel received in quar-
inc through the efforts of Mr. LAM,
Mexican consul, who welcomed the
ilomat.
Ienor Pardo has been minister to
lie for number of years and is now
feeding Senior Pacheco, formerly
siister TO Japan, who has retired after
long service in the island empire on
tall of his government.

ltI have been so long from home, in

lie queries regarding the late tiaseos
ltering around Magdelana Bay, -
Ink those were creations of what you
your yellow press. Mexico Off
INV denied the granting of any such
lcessions. AS a matter of fact be-
Ne the only concessions at all that
re thought of was one to n private
Ipanese fishing company. You know
n Japanese are great fishermen and
ey wished to fish for sharks in Mex
IN waters. They were conceded the
Int to do this from Manzanillo north

about it. The venture seemed to
kSe been a failure. Sharks were not
plentiful as was thought and they
hid not get sufficient to make the eX'
ring business to Japan profitable

t'It was the same way in regard to

enty years ago when 1 was formerly
the legation at Toxic. 1t was

seem to attend the scheme.
Speaks Of Coaling Station.
SSenor Pardo is familiar with the re
rted attempt of the Togo Kisen Kan
a Company to create coaling station
r its steamers in Honolulu and com
ssnted on it last night in the light
the recent official misunderstanding
the senate of foreign eoaling sta
bns in America.
81 could hardly see why such coal
X station as they desire here should
4 be permitted, he said. cit is thu
.air of a private company, not a gov
nment. The intended coal piles would
.rdly be any official objection to sucl
thing. 1t is impossible for the com
ny s South American vessels to car
enough coal for the round trip anC
e Chill coal costs ten yen more pc
n than does the Japan coal, beside
hich, the captain of the Kiyo Mar
ls telling me, he has to use consid
ably more Chill coal per day than h
les japanese coal.
Senior Pardo spoke at length las
ght upon the cordial relations exist
& between Mexico and the Unite'
ates, averring his belief that the de
land for Intervention in Mexico as
sult of the revolution near the Dor
.r was merely the efforts Of the sen
tionai section of the press. He stat
that sanely- thinking Americans h
I'd spoken with regarded Mexico wit,
e most cordial feelings and desire
thing better than complete harmon,
tween the two nations.
" Washington acted calmly and kind
in the whole NATTER he Sdded.
Senior Pardo g family are sugar plan

ard with interest to opportunities t
Judy as much as possible in this brie
