OF each faction chosen at this mass
meeting will meet at the court house
on the last Friday in December, 1913

DIAZ THE INDIAN.
The Strange Talent Shows by
His Race.

| lC mas OIGeQ Deel a cause OF WOnQel
J that Portirio Diaz, having such a
strong dose of Indian blood in his
veins, was able to rule Mexico sc
automatically and, on the whole, sc
well, but the Cologne Gazette
| points out that the Caesars Of a
Napoleonic cast of mind who have
| brought some measure of peace and
order out Of the revolutions in the
Spanish-speaking States of America,
have almost had large infusion OF
Indian blood in their veins. Such
men, besides Diaz himself, are Fran
cia and Lopez in Paraguay, Latorie
in Uruguay, and Uruguay, and Juarez
in Mexico
Great differences exist among In
dians. Speaking generally, and ex-
cepting the Guarani tribes of Para
quay the Indian is "a less sympathetic
person than the African negro and
far less sympathetic than the attrac-
tive natives OF the South Sea islands
While the negro is metimes
cruel from thoughtlessness, there
is seldom found in him that
positive delight in torture such as
excites the horror of a man travelling
among the half-caste populations of
Spanish-speaking Americans.
by way Of compensation, the re-
served, choleric Indian, in striking
mum ber of cases, develops capability
for generalship, and even for state
smanship, talents rarely found among
the negros, i. with their impulsive
only in the present.
Very rem markable, too, is the diffe-
rent value put upon Indians by En-
gllsh, Portuguese, and Spaniards in
America. President Roose velt's suite
opened their eyes wide when asked of
them on the occasion Of the German
Emperor's brothers. visit in 1912 why
a deputation of Indians had not been
arranged. Exactly similar is the
attitude in Portuguese-speaking
Brazil, where the Indians are physi-
cally the feeblest and morally the
lowest in civilisation of the whole
race. They are regarded as the yer.
min, the tag-ra and bobtail Of.
society. 1t is very different in the
countries conquered by Spain. 1t is
true that in Uruguay, with It's strong
Italian complexion, and in the East
ern States of Argentina the impor-
tance of the Indians is at very low
ebb, yet in the up-country States of
Argentina, and in Paraguay, Ecuador,
and Colombia, in Chill even and Peru,
Indians or creoles with a
very distinct Indian character occupy
high military and Civil Service posts.
The same thing holds good of Mexi-
co. The Indian Diaz was the first to
bring order into the anarchy of the
country, and those Germans who
knew him personally were full of
praise for his statesmanlike abilities
Whether the nephew resembles the
uncle in this particular is not certain.
If it were so, then the victory of the
rebels would be the most desirable
solution Of the present impasse. After
all, though revolutions are lamen-
table things, they are safety valves
preventing something worse and under
the peculiar conditions that beset
Spanish America they are not always
such an unmixed evil as Europeans
think.

Charged With Fraud in Russia and
Manslaughter in Spain Inter
view of the two Ambassadors

Some months ago, as our readers
may remember we referred in these
columns to the great scandal caused,
in St. Peters burg, and in Russia gener-
ally by noted Banker who abscond-
= ed, leaving deficit of over five mill
ions of rubles.
The Russian Police sought for him
for long time in vain for it seems he
had not left the least trace Of his
flight and the continued search over
Europe and America proved unavail.
ing.
Yesterday. however a Spanish In
spector accom- panied by two officers
from Scotland Yard and acting under
instructions of the Spanish Ambassad-
or, who had previously interviewed
the Home Secretary arrested him on
his way from the Hotel where he was
staying to the Steamship office. 1t
seems that it was his evident inten-
tion to take passage for New York
From information received by the
Ambassador he had been in hiding in
Spain, where he lived with woman
and with his daughter. A few days
before arriving in London he had
quarrelled with another Russian. who
was mortally wounded by revolver
shot during the scuffle, and who only
lived long enough to denounce his
assailant.
In an interview with the Russian
Ambassador, IL seems that the name
he had been using in Spain, and
which he gave on being arrested was
not his real one, Manasseina being
simply an aibi, but after comparing
the prisoner with photographs in his
possession, the Russian Ambassador
recognized him as Alexis Ivanovitch
the criminal banker who eloped with
5 5millions Of rubles; he is native of
ST. Petersburg, widower 4S years
old, with an only daughter that he
left in Spain on escaping from that
country.
On being arrested, two of Mana
Sseina'S or Alexis Ivanovitch port
manteaus were seized but although
strictly searched nothing but personal
effects we're found in them, in spite
OF which the Russian Am bassador de-
clares that prisoner ought to have
several million rubles somewhere.
The Russian and Spanish Am bassa-
dors conferred yesterday evening as to
whether the prisoner should be con.
veyed to Spain or to Russia, and
after an interview with the Home
Secretary, and in accordance with the
extradition treaty of England, Russia
and Spain, it was agreed that the
prisoner should be conveyed to Spain
to stand his trial for manslaughter
and that only after his trial can the
Russian Government ask Spain
through diplomatic channels for his
extradition.
