sion would have been acceptable.
There is large proportion Of the ma

here seem to be convinced that the
United States il bluffing and are quot
ed as stating that they are satisfied
there will be no armed interference
with their affairs.
A singular fact noticeable here and
much commented on by foreign resi-
dents is the continued absence of any
anti-American spirit among the Mex
lean populace. The effort of certain
native newspapers to stir up such
feeling have met with little success.
Similar effort at the time Of the Ma

the capital with mobs Of the lower
classes led by students who shouted
against everything American. Mexi-
cans explain the difference in sentf-
ment as due to the character of the
present controversy which fails to en-
list the sympathy Of the people.

fate Of Joseph H. Francis, former al

train that carried Villas troops to at
tack that city early Saturday morning.
That he did not reach Ell Paso seems
certain.
A telegraphic appeal from Francis
father in Chicago has caused General
villa to institute search. which he
declares would extend to opening the
graves Of dead foreigners.
