his children, who is being educated there
He is accompanied by his wife and six
children.
The ex-minister said he had no special
mission abroad, but he gave it to be un-
derstood that he would try to arrange a
loan in France in behalf of the Huerta
administration for military purposes
which loan, he explained, already had
been partly arranged. He expects to re-
main in Europe about seven months.
Senior Aldape declared that the economic
situation in Mexico was not desperate
The final condition of the government was
weak, but all obligations would be met
he said. The country was rich, vigorous
and full of vitality. He spoke of the
political situation, which he considered
grave It's gravity, he said, arose from
the strained relations between Mexico and
the United States. These once improved
the pacification of the country would be
easy, thanks to General Huerta's energy
Although no special mission had been
imposed upon him. Senior Aldape said he
would endeayor to enlist the sympathies
of the European countries for Mexico. He
did not believe the United States would
intervene actively in the difficulties now
rending his country.
Estimate of Carranza
With regard to General Carranza, he es-
timated that the constitutionalist leader
had under him 1900 armed men, and was
In control of the provinces of Durango
and Sonora. There were smaller bands
at other points, but he declared order
prevailed among the bulk of the popula-
tion, and the government had the situa-
tion well in hand. He charged that the
revolution, which was veritable calamity
for Mexico, was kept alive by the receipt
of contraband arms from the United
States
Gen. Felix Diaz, in the opinion of Senior
Aldape, would in no wise contribute to
the agitation, for he was a great patriot
and was supported by men of worth. He
greatly doubted that General Porfrio Diaz
would have the magnificent representation

Senior Aldape will land at ST. Lazarre
and proceed from there to Paris.

Message ArOuses Interest
Mexico City, November 30.-The ,possi-
BILE treatment of the Mexican question by
President Wilson's coming message has
aroused considerable interest among Mex
lean government officials, but there Is a
notable absence of alarm because of deep
rooted conviction that neither interview
ton nor the supplying of arms and ammu-
milton to the rebels will be recommended.
The continuation of the financial block
ade. President Huerta will not regard as
a vital blow to his administration, how
ever, enfeehling it may be. Anything short
of Intervention or the supplying of munl-
tions of war to the rebels will be re-
garded with comparative complacency by
General Huerta, who is prepared to pur-
sue a dogged course of resistance against
his enemies, although he realizes it means
indefinite warfare
But his friends point out that although
the government may be bankrupt the pro-
visional president is far from being with
out funds, and is not likely to be entirely
without money as long as private institu-
tions and corporations possess funds.
They are of the opinion that the Presi-
dent will not fail, for the sake of what he
considers right, to resort to forced loans.
Indeed, persuasive methods already have
been used and in several cases have borne
marked similarity to the forced loan sys-
tenn.
In the Mexican republic there are many
men rated as millionaires, and several
large corporations whose properties might
be available for prospective taxation
There are millions to be had for the TAX
ing, and General Huerta's admirers de-
clare he would be acting in accord with
justice and his duty to the country, if he
utilized this money for defense
Special Taxes Announced
Special taxes have been announced,
which will become effective tomorrow and
will net at least 35,0000OO pesos ($17 100000
annually to the government, 1t would be
quite feasible, 1t is pointed out, to aug
ment this amount materially by the sinf-
pie method of still further increasing the
taxes. No avenue which might produce
funds for the government is being over
looked,
For years Mexico City was known as
a city where gambling was greatly re-
stricted, but today there are many resorts
of this class operating openly and each is
paying its quota in the shape of license
fees. It is announced that all these gam
bling places will be closed temporarily, IN
order that they may be re-opened under
a new arrangement. 1t is understood that
this arrangement will be granting of a
concession to one concern for the gam
bling in the city. This would make the
certain.
