HUERTA SENDS DIAz OUT Of MEXICO
Goes to Japan to Thank That Country
for Its Participation In the
1910 Centennial.

City of Mexico-General Felix Diaz
has been named as special ambassa-
sador to Japan to express the thanks
Of Mexico to Japan for the latter's par
ticipation in Mexico's centennial in
1910.
BY appointing General Diaz to this
mission President Huerta appears to
have eliminated him temporarily, at
least, from the politics OF Mexico. The
president. when formally comforting
the honor on him Thursday, said that
he hoped that he would return to Mex
leo in time to be candidate in the
presidential election which Is called
for October 26.
General Diaz, however, would have
to plan his trip carefully SO that time
would be left to him for the compile
ton of his program in the presidential
campaign. Approximately month
will be occupied in the trip to Japan,
and another month in the return, and
it will be necessary not to discredit
the mission by too much haste in lsav.
ing Toxic.
There never has been any secret
about the desire OF General Diaz to
stand for the presidency and that he
should be a candidate was part of the
agreement entered into by him with
President Huerta as the price Of peace
in the capital. Huerta was to be the
provisional president and Diaz was to
name most of the cabinet, with the un-
derstan ding that he should be free to
work out his own political future. AL.
most at once he was proclaimed the
candidate for the presidency by MI.
merous political clubs. but the growth
of the rebellion against the Huerta ad.
/ ministration and the failure OF Diaz to
remain before the public in spec.
| tacular light, in addition to the gen.
eral apathy Of large part Of the peo'
pie toward the election, results In
placing him In a position where even
many of his own partisans believe bis
election will be impossible.
President Huerta insists that the
elections will be held, but IL they are
there is yet in sight no man whose
popularity is sufficiently general te
make his election at all certain. un
less 1t is General Huerta himself, who
IAN not legally become candidate
unless he first retires from the rresi
dency.

TURKISH SOLDIERS ENTER ADRANOPIE
Battle With Bulgarians Holding City.
Advent Of New Bulgarian Cabinet.
Turkey Makes Claims Known.

London.-The Turks have entered
Adrianople after brief conflict with
the Bulgarian garrison Sunday. Bashi
bazouks are burning, /pillaging and
committing atrocities.
The Roumanian troops are advanc-
ing in an easterly direction and threat
ening Eastern Roumelia.
The events of the last few days,
says correspondent, indicate the
complete collapse of the authority of
Europe"
The Servians and Greeks were re-
pulsed Friday and Saturday all along
the line.
News from London says; "The
crisis has arrived. Thirty thousand
Roumanian troops have reached Or
chaniii and Etropole, within forty
miles OF Sofia. Enver Bey, at the head
of the Turkish cavalry, has arrived at
Adrianople, where the Bulgarian gar
rison OF 1000 has received orders not
o resist the Turks"
The advent of a new Bulgarian cabi.
net, comprising q coalition of the lib
eral groups, seems to have brought a
prospect that peace negotiations soon
will be entered into. After vain at
tempts to negotiate separately with
Roumania, the Bulgarian government
accepted the advice of Austria ant
Russia and offered Roumania an i'm
portant territorial concession. Bull
garia also sent delegates to meet the
Seryian, Greek and presumably Rou
manian representatives at Nish Il
negotiate an armistice and peace.
It is confirmed from Athens thai
Servia. Greece and Montenegro arr
ready to participate in the negotia
tons. Turkey, however, has intro
duced q new complication and has not

AMBASSADOR wilson CALLED TO Washington
Diplomats Believe That France, Who
Is Heavily Interested In Mexico,
Has Sought American Attitude.
GCopyrigbt)

Washington. Lane Wilson,
ambassador to Mexico, is coming
home.
The report that European diplomats
had requested the United States to
outline it's attitude in Mexico was in
creased Wednesday when 1t became
known generally that American Am
bassador Henry Lane Wilson had been
instructed to proceed Immediately to
Washington, personally to report on
the conditions in Mexico. The text
of the telegraphic order was forward
ed to the afternoon papers by the am
bassador, his purpose being, he said,
to avoid Misrepresentation.
1t is believed in diplomatic circles
that France is the nation which has
made inquiry at Washington regard
ing the Mexican policy of the United
States. Financial experts estimate the
drop in French-Mexican securities
since the beginning Of the troubled
conditions amounts to half a billion
pesos. In banks and industrial enter
prises French investments probably
exceed those of any other foreign ma
ton. British and American investors
have preferred mines and agricultural
development as a vent for their CAPT,
tai.
First Secretary Nelson O'Shaugh,
messy remains in charge of the en-
bassy staff, consisting of three clerks,
the second and third secretaries be-
ing absent.
President Wilson recently has re.
ceived number Of reports from in.

prepared to take up the discussion

eighteen men, thirteen railroad men

Oriojnai Sort of Ham.

A lady gave a luncheon recently and
explained that she always cooked
ham by the recipe used by Thomas
Jefferson, which had been handed
down in her family for years.
This recipe required that the ham
be cooked for about two hours by
simmering, but under no condition
must it be allowed to boil.
