Recognition Impossible.

Were we to agree with them to the
armistice suggested, they would, lpso
racto, recognize their belligerency
and this is something which cannot
be done for many rea sons which cam
not escape the perspicacity Of the
government OF the United States of
America which TO this day. and pub
licly at least, has classed them as
rebels just the same as we have,
And II is an accepted doctrine that
no armlstice can be concerned With
rebels.
The assurance asked of my govern
ment that II should promptly convene
the elections Is the most proof OF the
unequivocal reason that the United
States government desires an AMIGA
BILE settlement of all the present
troubles In Mexico. Inasmuch as our
laws already provide such assurance.
there Is no fear that the latter may
not be observed during the coming
few months. and while the govern
ment at present Is provisional at
fair, II will cede its power TO the

Presidents Address.
Of the Congress!

Gentlemen of the Congress;
II Is clearly my duty to lay before
you very fully and without reserva-
ton the facts concerning our present
rela tons with the republic of Mexico.
The deplorable posture OF affairs In
Mexico I need not describe. but
deem It my duty to speak very frank
~ of what this government has done
and should seek TO do IN fulfillment
of Its obligations 10 Mexico herself, as
a friend and neighbor. and TO Ameri-
can citizens whose lives and vital
interests are daily affected by the
distressing conditions which now OBJ
tain beyond our southern border.
Those conditions touch us very
nearly, Not merely because they lie
at our very doors. That. OF course,
makes us more vividly and more con-
stantly conscious OF them. and every
instinct Of neighborly interest and
sympathy is aroused and quickened
by them, but that is only one cle
ment In the determination OF our duty.
We are glad TO call ourselves the
friends of Mexico. and we shall. I
hope. have many an occas sion In hap
pier times as we'll as In these DAYS
Of trouble and confusion to show that
our friendship Is genuine and disln-
terested. capable Of sacrifice and ey
cry generous manifestation.

that discussion, even OF a private char

Senior Camboa insists that the negotia

should they be it is probable that soon
the entire affair will be regarded as a
closed incident.
The congressman, In discussing the
notes exchanged. freely commended the
action OF the Mexican government and
that small portion Of the public which is
cognizant OF the chara cter Of that ac-
tion was loud in its praise OF what Is
characterized as the patriotic and digni-

President Congratulated.

tonight with his reception in congress,
Not only from the applause that
and at its conclusion, but through per

son felt assured that he had behind
him the undivided support of congress,

The president had an informal talk
with Senator Root. Republican, in the
speakers room Just before he was
escorted to the house rostrum, and
learned that the New York senator

earth concerning what is happening

crence TO what might happen in
Mexico neither you. Mr.. Confidential

my government greatly appreciates
the good offices rendered TO II by
the government Of the United States

ResentS Imputation.

The imputation contained In the
first paragraph of your instructions
that no progress has been made to-
ward tablishing in the capital OF
Mexico a government that may en-
joy the respect and embodience OF
the Mexican people, is unfounded.
The Mexican government, Mr.. Conf
dental Agent, is formed by twenty
seven states. three territories and
one federal district In which the su-
preme power Of the republic has It's
seat. or these twenty-seven states,
eighteen OF them, the three terri
toris and the federal district (mak-
ing a total OF twenty-five political
entities) are under the absolute con-
troll OF the present government, which.
aside from the above, exercises It's
authority over almost every port In
the country. Its southern frontier
is open and at peace. Moreover my
government has an army of $4,000
men in the field with no other pur-
pose than 10 insure complete peace
In the republic, the only national as
pirauon and solemn promise OF the
the present provisional president. The
above is sufficient to exclude any
doubt that my government Is worthy
of the respect and obedience Of the
Mexican people, because the latter's
consideration has been gained at the
cost of the greatest sacrifice and In
spite Of tine most evil influences.

MeXico'S Mistake.

I am led to believe that they were
rejected partly because the authori-
ties at Mexico City had been grossly
msinformed and misled on two points
They did not realize the spirit of the
American people in this matter their
earnest friendliness and yet sober de-
termination for some just solution for
the Mexican difficulties; and they did
not believe that the present admin
istration spoke. through Mr.. Lind.
for the people OF the United States
The effect Of this unfortunate nlisun
derstanding on their part Is 10 leave
them singularly isolated and without
friends who can effectually aid them.
SO long as the misundersta andine con.
tinues we can only await the time of
their awakening to a realization of the
actual facts. We cannot thrust our
good offices upon them; the situa tion
must be given a little more time 10
work Itself out in the new circurn-
stances. and I believe that only a lit
tie while will be necessary For the
circumstances are now The reiec-

new and will inevitably bring its own
alterations in the whole aspec, OF
affairs The actual stua ton of the
authorities at Mexico City will pres
