New York, Aug. 14.-That the Unit
ed States government will get into
trouble if it attempts to intervene in
Mexican affairs is the opinion of
Francisco de la Barra, former provi-
sional president of Mexico, who is now
spending few days in this country
previous to leaving for France, where
he will act as Mexican ambassador.
Il am firmly of the belief that the
intelligence of the American and Mex
lean peoples and the spirit of justice
and fair play in both countries will
prevail and that the possibility of any
thing akin to international complica-
tions is most remote" said de la Bar
ra.
Intervention, it seems to me, is
hardly to be thought of. High Off
Gals in my country do not seriously
consider the possibility. let alone the
probability, of such action on the part
of the United States.
Il Yill say, however, that should
there be any chance for Intervention
the universal feeling in Mexico would
be such that it would be difficult to
predict the outcome"
He would not go so far as to say
that all warning factions in Mexico
would be united against the United
States in event of Intervention.
That would be presuming too
MUCH" he said. There is no way of
telling just now what stand would be
taken by all factions, but the indubit-
! able fact remains that the majority of
the people in my country do not want
foreign intervention and would prob
ably do all they could to prevent it."

day after a lingering illness, which be-
gan when he was struck by paralysis
two years ago. His wife and daughter,
Juanita, were summoned at that time
since
His faculties were unoimmed until al
most the end, and he labored at inter-
walls upon poem which he said was to
be the most momentous work of his life.
He guarded the poem with the utmost
secrecy and not even his wife and
daughter knew his subject.
From childhood his was a stirring,
eventful life He was born in Indiana,
November 10, 1S41, and was christened
Cincinnatus Heine His father was Of
Quaker stock. At the age Of eleven
young Miller accompanied his parents
across the plains to the Pacific coast.

in Oregon. Craving for adventure and
stimulated by stories OF the gold
strikes in California, he ran away at
fifteen to seek his fortune, Already he
had participated in an Indian war, re-
oeiving an arrow wound in the neck.
In Siskoyou county, California, he
was adopted by tribe OF Indians and
married the daughter Of the chief.

killed by settlers In punitive expedi
ton against raiding redskins, and
Miller returned to Oregon, where he
studied law.

verse; contributing to various maya
zines, and he met and married Miss
Minnie Myrtle, young Oregon poetess.
Three children were born to the couple
a daughter, Maud, and two sons. The
latter ran away early in life and their
names were erased from the family rec
ords
Miller In 1866 went to Mexico, where
he Joined Walkers filibusterers and was
arrested He obtained a pardon and
returned to Oregon. In 1869 he pub
lished his first volume Of poems.
Soon afterward he was divorced from
his wife and went to Europe. There
he became popular. He always dressed
in a flannel shirt and knee high boots,
a costume that the English of that day
are said to have expected Of Ameri-
cans.
Returning to America, he took up
newspaper work at Washington, D. C.
While there he took third wife, Miss
Abbey Leland, daughter of a Chicago
hotel keeper. One child was born to
her-Juanita.
