press dispatches from Washington, indi-
eating that the administration is still
strongly opposed to Intervention, there
still prevails here intense anxiety on the
part of the foreign residents as well as
Mexicans. Trains for Vera Cruz yester-
day carried away many Americans and
many more have planned to 60 to-day.
The following statement was issued at
the foreign office last night:
'ln order to calm the natural anxiety
of the public occasioned by the negotia-
tons which have been carried on with
the confidential agent of President Will
son, Mr. Lind. Senior Gamboa declares
that up to the present there is no reason
for alarm.
Since the beginning Mexico has tried
to maintain a eoneiliatory attitude, al
though at the same time dignifed
one, and if the president of the United
States considers it opportune to submit
to Congress the status of the negotia-
tions, then Mexico is relieved from the
tacit agreement and from the customs
observed in negotiations OF this class,
not to give premature publicity and viii
hasten then, and only then, to make
public in their entirety all the docu-
ments which have been received or which
may be received at that date.
"The situation is far from being des-
perate Ii can only be called serious
and for this reason it is desirable that
the public should be discreet and re-
served, since this is the best manner
in which they can aid the govern
ment."
