| tion in Mexico now seems nearly in
evitable Government officials closest
in touch with the administration ad-
mitted as much openly and said that
the appeal of General Diaz for Am
erican protection couldn't be disre-
garded.
1t is reported that Diaz owned to
Consul Canada at Vera Cruz that his
life was in danger and it would have
been inhuman to have refused him
admission to the consulate. Since he
didn't consider himself even safe there,
there was nothing else to do but to
put him aboard an American fighting
vessel. That the incident has gravely
complicated the situation wasn't de-
MED. 1t is thought likely that Diaz
and his two companions will be taken
to a neutral port where they will be
unmolested.
1t is expected that President Huerta
will ask for the surrender of Diaz,
but the request will be refused. AL

about it. The doctor expects to be
called upon to deliver several ad-
dresses during his absence, and the
proposes to sing the praises of Idaho
