Mexico city. Aug. 3l.-The Country
Club to-day did not show the effects
OF the order for Americans TO leave
Mexico. The golf links and tennis
courts were well patronized by Ameri-
cans. many OF whom also motored or
cycled into the country.
II is not thought here that Mexico
can give more specific assurances OF
the n-canddacy OF General Huerta
for the Presidency than that contained
in Sefior Gamboa's second note.
The party supporting the candidacy
OF General Felix Diaz is disconnected

sign HIS ulpiOiiiaNiN hi'So4N' W ""f'
Despite the uncertainty, the Diaz par

La Tribuna Felicista," the Diaz or
gan, is booming his candidacy daily.
and the party has been holding meet

made any definite choice yet. No other
boom for the Presidency has been
launched. and perhaps none will be
heard Of until the meeting of Congress.

the canal between Gamboa dixie ana
Miraiores locks, which had previously
been excavated by steam shovels.
This cut which is 5000 feet long,
800 feet wide and Al feet deep below
mean sea level, was entirely filled by

cifc laved for the first time the solid
masonry Of the Mirafores locks.
Dredges passed thr' gh the opening
tonight. and in a fCY days the last
vestige of the barrier will be removed,
establishing a practically completed

The dredges will ,egin on Tuesday
10 remove the last barrier OF the At
