England Also Waiting
Outcome of Elections
and Statement of u. S.

LONDON, October 25.-The British
government is awaiting quietly the out
come Of the Mexican elections. believing
that they will help in solving the diff
ficulties Of the much perplexed country
and that when they have been disposed
of the United States, Great Britain and
the other interested powers will find
common ground for action tending to
bring about the desired peace in the
southern nelghbor land of the United
States.
The British government does not wish
to interfere, and declares that it has
not interfered in any way with the In
ternal affairs of Mexico. Every move
1t has made has been simply taken with
the object of protecting its interests.
Even now while other European powers
are sending warships to the disturbed
area, it is pointed out that Great Britain
has refrained from doing so. because 1t
does not believe that there is any
danger.
So far as the relations of the United
States and England are concerned, there
bassador Walter H. Page visited Sir
Edward Grey at the foreign office last
Monday and none Is expected until after
the results of the Mexican elections are
known. Sir Edward Grey will not re-
turn to London until Tuesday, while
other officials of the British foreign office
directly concerned, following the lead of
their chief. are spending their accustom-
ed long week end in the country
All this tends to belle the reports that
there has been a serious situation.

Diaz Feels Prisoner,
But May Leave Today
for CITY of Mexico

VERA CRUZ. October 25.-Gen. Felix
Diaz decided to remain at Vera Cruz for
the night. It Is possible that he may ac
company Col vidaurrazaga to Mexico
City Sunday morning.
Expecting arrest at any minute, sub
jected to repeated calls by Col. Vidaurra-
xaga, representative of the war depart
ment. urging him to accept Gen. Huerta's
invitation to return to the capital. and
forced to listen to friends who occupied
rooms with him. and who talked lugu-
briously OF mysterious disap pearances.
Gen. Diaz was nervous and detected at
the close Of the day.
trip to Mexico City II he were permitted
70 take along. as a companion Senior
MiJuerno. native Of the town Of Oaxaca.
In which Diaz was born. Mijuerno is now
prisoner here. He Is a strong partisan
OF Diaz, and it is believed that Diaz is
actuated by desire to prevent his friend
from arousing the Indians in his state to
revolt.
Practically a Prisoner.
Diaz has practically been prisoner,
whether by official acts or by his own
conception of affairs, is not known.
He has assumed that any attempt to
leave his quarters at the hotel would
be followed by his arrest, and since
entering his room Thursday night he
has not ventured out. The streets
about the building are patrolled by
plain clothes men and the roofs of
buildings adjoining are similarly
guarded.
Gen. Diaz is still an army officer, but
for some reason the war department
has not sent him any orders. In case
he receives such orders he probably
would go to the capital without Ques-
ton.
The proximity of his quarters to the
American consulate has given rise to
specu ton by Mexicans that he would
attempt to gain there the official protec-
ton OF the American nag, but unless he
personally presents himself he will not
receive such protection. It Is not ex-
pected that Consul Canada will offer him
asylum. but the consul will not refuse 1t
If solicited.
The feature of such an arrangement,
which is interesting Mexicans. IS that
should Diaz go to the consulate and re-
main there tomorrow he would be
technically on foreign soil on election
day. which would bar him from cleo
ton to the presidency, according to
constitutional lawyers.
The garrison OF the town has been
strengthened since the arrival OF Gen.
Diaz. and an inspection of troops took
place today.

All preparations have been completed

The registration lists have been distrib-

over the polling places. The police who
have been assigned to the various dis

strictly neutral attitude. In addition,
some four thousand troops in barracks
will be ready to suppress any attempt at

All the candidates have publicly ex-
horted their followers to do their dut,

duct. The law provides that one-third the
total number Of eligible voters must ex-
ercise the right of suffrage in order to
make the election valid Failing this.
congress is expected to declare the cleo

continue president ad interim until con-
ditions permit of new elections.
There is absolutely no excitement in
the capital tonight. and only mild in
terest is noticeable. A very light vote is
anticipated throughout the republic.
At the headquarters in the capital of
Gen. Felix Diaz doubt was expressed
tonight that Gen. Diaz would come here.

Report From Garden Received.

The British foreign Office has received
from Sir Lionel Garden. the British am
bassador to Mexico. summary OF Pro-
visional President Huerta's declaration to
the foreign diplomats In Mexico City, but
this omits Gen. Huerta's references to
the losses the United States Is likely to
suffer should 1t attempt to enforce its
will upon. Mexico. With only this sum-
mary to go by. British officials are I'M
willing to express an opinion.
Diplomatic circles here, however. con-
slider that while Provisional President
Huerta was justified =: setting forth his
position, his indulgence in threats was
quite another matter. 1t is suggested
that this action might have result OPP
posite to that which he desired and in
stead Of marshaling the United States
and the European powers III opposing
camps might draw them closer together.
AS to the interview in which Sir Lionel
Garden Is reported to have behttled the
knowledge Of the situation possessed by
the United States, nothing official has
been heard about it. and consequently
1t has not been repudlated from mere.
but il is thought possible that Sir Lionel
Garden himself might have done so,
either through the Representatives of the
Tn ted States in Mexico or through the
British embassy at Washington.
AS far as the British government Is
concerned, however. it has not changed
its usual policy Of taking no notice of
press reports unless they are officially
drawn to its attention.
Britain Not Supporting Gambia.
Likewise nothing Is known here Of
ideally of a report that Sir Lionel Car
den had told Provisional President
Huerta that Great Britain desired him to
support FREDERICK Gamboa for the presi-
dency. This it is considered would be
direct interference in the internal af-
fairs of Mexico, a course which the Brit
:sh government is opposing.
AS matter of fact, the British policy
Is one of non-interference and this was
the gist of the foreign Offices instructions
to Sir Lionel Garden.
England Is still of the opinion, however
that no mistake was made when the ma
jority OF the powers recognized Provision

Action should be taken as soon as
possible to prevent the continual dump

OF refuse have been dumped here even

word of English, and he made the
long journey from his native couu-
try to the United States alone. He
carried under his coat a loaf of
bread, bread being the only food
which he had to eat since leaving his
native country. The boy is of the
peasant type and attracted much at
tention by his peculiar costume. ne
had on pair of heavy.s peculiarly
shaped boots, suit made of rough
ly woven cloth, with pockets in the
side of the coat, and peasant cap.
A tag on the boys coat directed
his destination. The boy had been
travelling for something over three
months.

Wonderful Specific for Sci
atica Lumbago, and a
Cure for Dreaded Ar
ticular Rheuma-
hsFn.

There Is host OF pills powders, iab.
lets and whatnot for rheumatism, but
they all lack the first essential TO being
. patthal medicine. To begin with, rheu.
ulatism Is simply a name given TO desig-
nate q variety Of pains, and can only be
reached by trrfgating the entire blood sup.
ply with q naturally asslmiiative anti.
dote. True, the pains may be eased with
narcotics or the acids may DO neutralized
for the time being with other acids. But
these merely temporize and do not even
-leadfto a cure There Is but one stand
ard rheumatism remedy. and II reflects
the best thought Of the day. 1t Is pre-.
pared in the great Swift Laboratory IN
Atlanta, Ca. and sold in an drug stores
under the name Of S. S. s. at $500 4
bottle.
Starvation has been advocated by many
as q cure for rheumatism, and yet S. s. s.
accompanies In fact what faddists pro-,
claim in theory and without the punish.
ment Of starvation. Hot springs and
sweating are often recommended, but
8. s. s. does all that Is expected OF these
expensive and weakening methods.
It is conceded by the closest students
Of the subject that rheumatism Is caused
in most cases by an acid condition Of the
blood and aggravated by the remedies
commonly used for relief. In other cases
rheumatism is the result Of nerve depres.
sion; in stin others It IS the effect OF
some scrofulous blood condition. having
been treated with mercury, iodides, arse
mic and other poisonous mineral drugs.
The recoveries Of al these types OF
rheumatism by the use of s. s. S. is a
wonderful tribute to the natural efficacy
of this remarkable medicine, for 1t is as
Simulated just as naturally, just as spef
