in wholesale arrests, Several of those

Diaz have continued active in his be-
half for the presidency There has
been no formal announcement, however,
of General Diaz's candidacy since then,
nor has any other candidate for the
vice presidency been put forward in
place Of Senior De La Barra.
The leading supporters Of General
Diaz assert that there are 1900 clubs
organized throughout the. republic to
work for him. Under Mexican practice,
the holding Of conventions for nomina-
tion is unnecessary, formal declara-
tion of their choice by the various
groups Of partisans being sufficient.

Government Constitutional.

'The present government Of Mexico
is a constitutional government, whose
public powers in most part have been
in operation since 1910. and In the SEN
ate, in the supreme court Of justice, and
in the public offices, and in all parts,
many OF the public functionaries have
been figuring first. with the government
headed by General Diaz, later with that
Of Mr.. Madero. Very few exclusive
privileges have. been granted by the
present government, which latter is ad-
vancing daily in the establishment of
peace in the greater part Of the ma
tional territory.
"The army now counts $4,000 mon,
with an armament and q command
truly notable, through which it has tri-
umphed and continues triumphing in the
daily combats with the enemy, who are
disappearing or submitting to the legiti-
mate authority of the republic.

government will consult with the prin-
cipal members of its colony here regard

MEXICO MUST SETTLE
GIGANTIC DAMAGE BILL
sy international News Service.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 90.-Mexico
will have to settle to the last cent mil
lions Of dollars damage done to prop
erty owned by Americans in the south
ern republic when the reign of rebellion
begun three years ago ends. During
the present lull in the negotiations be-
tween the United States and the Huerta
government, the state department is
turning its attention to the immense
indebtedness that Huerta is piling up
to be settled by his successors.
An international commission would
ascertain this Indebtedness, it was def
nitely stated to the International News
Service today.
Officials of the state department said
today that by reason Of the Madero re-
bellion and the present disturbance,
Americans already had sustained loss
of $500,000000.
The international commission will be
charged with ascertaining:
First, the original value Of the prop
erty.
Second, Its depreciation,
Third, what would have been It's pres
ent value.
The same officials say that q fair In
ternational commission In determining
a claim would take these three items
at their full value for the reason that
both Madero and Huerta were given
full opportunity to make some move
for tho arrest of depreciation by the
restoration Of peace in the country.
There Is now a so-called commission
sitting at Mexico City, but it is com
posed entirely of Mexican officials,
and they say it is making the minimum
Of progress; that, in other words, but
very few claims have reached the stage
Of settlement, and settlement, except
on a promissory note, appeared to be
now an impossibility with the Huerta
government.
The commission which the state de-

Damage Will Be Great.

"The American colony, which reached
10000 persons, I am sure will suffer
enormous damage to it's interests and its
well being should its members violently
abandon country in which I repeat
they are considered and esteemed on all
sides.
81 beg that you will acquaint Presi-
dent Wilson with what I have stated,
calling his illustrious attention to the
tremendous damages which: will result
from his. determination, for which, in
all loyalty, 1 state there is no reason,
and which undoubtedly has been die
tated against the sentiments of justice,

not by the elevated sentiments Of q
man as distinguished as the present
president Of the United States, but
through simple ignorance of what is
actually transpiring in Mexico.N
