fierce fighting in Mexico City for the last
eight days, there had been no infraction

would warrant any interference by the

powers.
Durink the WEEK. Secretary Knox has
talked with several ambassadors and in
no instance have they shown disposi-

not intervening. The administration of
feals declare there is no inconsistency
between the entertainment Of this pur-
pose of on-intervention and the steady

OF ships and troops. These
measures are designed only to guard
against possibility of unexpected and
grayer conditions that might place the
safety OF foreigners in Mexico beyond
the ability of the de faeto government of
that country to insure.

one Aurelian NJ. Clark, who dickers a
little in the general store line at Cabot.
The abstraction is alleged to have takel.
