DC Ia Barra in Japan.

The reception to Francisco DE- LA
BARRA in Japan is bestowed upon
Mexlcos first diplomatist who has
served his country as provisional Pres
ident. His o>lensible mission. 10
thank the Mikado for the particlpa-
tion Of Japan in the centennial cele-
bration of Mexican Independence. also
gives Schor DE IA BARRA a claim upon
the hospitality Of the Government.
Tho visitor has no other mission
might sound the Minister Of Foreign
Affairs upon the subject 81 closer rela.
tlons with Mexico. but what valuable
con sderation could he offered on he
half Of Government that may he on
its last legs? japan is no doubt well
informed about conditions in Mexico.
Even If Scnor d. IA BAIRN bore the
credentials of a stable and generous
Government. Japan would be wary
about committing herself any ar
rangemcut provocative OF contro-
,crSy with the United States. AS 1t
is. the envoy from Mexico who seems
10 represent a dying concern, is white
elephant. He will he treated with
"prenonious politeness. hut there will
be n sigh of relief in official Toxic
when he departs.
There Is of course an element in
Japan that is disposed to acclaim
Senior pE IA RARRA and gorify Mexico
because il has no love for the United
States. hut ii is without influence in
the Cabinet. Moreover. the radical
party will seek 10 cmharrasS the Gov
crnment by representing Selor De
IA BARRA'S mission. He himself Is
under no Illusions about II, and will
give no encouragement to the agita-
tors. AS envoy from Mexico he
reflects credit upon that country. hut
he is well aware that for political rea-
sons his presence in Mexico is not de-
sired by General IiUtRrA and that his
status differs in no respect from that
Of FELIX DiAZ ;.Ld Senor ALDAPL. The
truth Is that the accomplished DE IA
BARRA is n pathetic figure as II repre-
sentative Of bis country in Japan.

Of the blood and color Of General HUERrA
and myself. who have been clamoring
for many years for bread and Justice"
must be accounted a very brave man.
To give them the reforms they demand
1t would be necessary to find land for
the poems and reorganize the system of
Justice; also to provide fair elections
and put an end to official corruption.
This is more than Francisco MADERo
could do: and NicroRANo HuERTA is in
no position to reform Mexico. nor has
he the desire. Senor URRrTA's remarks
could not have been to the dictator's 8
liking, for the effect Of them must be
to excite discomfort and encourage the
insurgents. II will be interesting to
follow the fortunes OF URRrrrA after this

Proposes TO Protect Subjects in Mexi
co.,. s. Government Thanked.
Berlin, Feb. 21.-The Mexican situa-
ton came up for discussion, in the inn
perial parliament today when Gottlieb
Won Jagow, the foreign minister. re-
piled TO an Interpolation as to what
measures the government had taken
for the protection Of Germans in Mex
leo. He declared that Germany had
not sent any warships to Mexico. as
the only vessel available in American
for repairs.
The foreign office. however. had
learned that the numerous United
States warships in Mexican waters had
been instructed to give refuge to all
foreigners and as far as possible to
protect their property. The German
foreign office had thanked the United
States government for this service.
Won Jagow added that the German
minister in Mexico had cabled that no
Germans were killed during the fight
ing and only one, photographer,
slightly wounded. AS to damage done
to Germany property the imperial gov
eminent will take steps to secure full
compensation from Mexico.
Germany in. general is committed to,
a policy fcf non-interference in the in
ternational affairs of foreign states
said Won Jagow, "but this will not pre-
vent her from standing vigorously for
the protection Of her subjects

Washington. Feb. 21.-Francisco I
Madero. deposed president Of Mexico
WIZ not be railroaded to Jail, thrown
into mad house, or summarily eek.
ccuted by Provisional President Huer-
Ia, according to reports today from
Ambassador Wilson. Madero, the am
Dassador reports, will be given a fair
trial and possibly no worse fate will
await him than exile.
Secretary Knox with the approval OF
President Taft has Instructed Ambas-
sacor Wilson to convey to Huerta In
diplomatic terms the intimation that
the United States would severely OBJ
jcct to a summary execution of SEN
tence Of 1adero.
1t was not felt here that the former
president should be slaughtered or put
out of the way for crimes which seem
purely political without a fair and
open trial.
Cabinet Discusses Situation.
The Administrations attitude tow
ard the provisional government of
Mexico was discussed at today's cab
met meeting. President Taft and Mr..
Knox have never believed, 1t Is said.
that Madero was a strong president for
a republic sown with revolution. They
have believed, however, that he has
displayed many human traits and that
he is entitled to hearings, They have
no particular interest other than that
OF humanity in what Is done with him
II 1T Is done In legal fashion.
