As against this statement Of the ad-
vantage a hostile nation would have at
the beginning of a war, Major Johnson
says of the resources Of the United
States:
"Straining every resource. counting
on no hitch in transportation. we can
in one month after the outbreak Of
hostilities concentrate at any one point
on our coast about 10000 men. OF these
$1,000 will be trained: 1000 unframed.

The complete message of Presiden,

Il have been informed that the Gov.
ernment over which Your Excellency
dignifiedly presides has ordered to Sc,
out Tor the ports of Mexico war vessels
with troops to disembark and come tC
TINS capital to give guarantees of safety
to Americans.
Undoubtedly the Information which,
YOU have and which led you to take

Tor the lives of Americans in this CAPT.

Will abandon the zone Of fire and con-
centrate in certain points of the city or

If you will order that Americans

tions of International law.
Consequently. l ask your excellence
10 order your men-of-war not TO dis
embark troops in Mexico. as THIS
ACT WILL CAUSE A CONFLAGRA-
ton AND TERRIBLE CONSE-
QUENCES OF MORE EXTENT THAN
THE ONES WE HAVE TO CONTEND
WITH AT PRESENT.
Il assure your excellency that this
government is taking all measures
necessary in order that the rebels in
the Ciudadela tthe arsenaD will do the
least harm possible to lives and prop
erty in the capital. and I have hopes
that everything will be peacefully ar
ranged in very short time.
1T is true that my country at this
moment Is passing through a terrible
crisis, and the debarkation of Ameri-
can troops would not increase the
dangers of the situation, and by a very
lamentable error Ii would do great
harm to a nation which always has
been a loyal friend to the limited
States. as well as contribute to the
dangers surrounding the establishing
of true democratic government here
similar to that of the great American
nation.
II appeal to the equitable, just senti-
,nents that have been the criterion of
your government AMI that undoubtedly =
represent the sentiments Of the great
American people. whose destinies you
have guided with so much skill and
patriotism.

American Colony Is
Second Largest in
Capital of Mexico

! combined, about 1000.
Contrary to the general opinion, the
Americans do not live in one section OF
the city. While there is a portion OF
the town which is called the american
colony and in which many Americans
live, it receives its name because the
property was developed by an American
syndicate, headed by A. H. Barbour, OF
Washington, and because 1t was laid
out according to the most approved
lines OF American municipal develop
ment.
1t is in this section of the city that
Madero's handsome home was destroyed
Friday by the rebel forces Here is
also located the American embassy. This
section of the city lies between the
arsenal, where. Felix Diaz is bottled up,
and Chapultepec, the magnificent old
castle, on the outskirts of the city,
which is used as the summer home of
the Mexican Presidents.
Scattered Through City.
The Americans as a rule are scat
tered all over the city, many living in
the business section, in hotels and
boarding houses, while hundreds have
purchased homes in some of the gar
den suburbs which are scattered over
the Mexican valley, of which the city
is the CENTER
Americans in Mexico City are large
ly engaged in commercial pursuits
They own furniture, clothing, jewelry
and book stores, and are interested in
banks and realty companies Many
are employed by the national railways,
tn the Mexican railway and by the Waters
branches in all the principal cities The
automobile, electrical and machinery
business Is practically. in their hands
ana tnere are many lawyers, doctors
and dentists. A number are represen-
tatives OF large American houses.
Many Social Clubs.
The American colony has many So
cial and charitable organizations, such
as the American Club. the Country
Club. the Y. NJ c. A., the American
Relief Association, and the American
Hospital. 1t has churches and schools
and most pleasant social life is main:
tanned.
The Society of the American Colony
is new organization, having been
founded about eight years ago for tie
purpose Of protecting the interests of
Americans In Mexico.
The revolution has ben most disas-
trous to the Americans in the city. Tut
has been felt even more strongly
throughout the country. where two
years ago. there Were more than 20O 900
Americans living. Business is practic-
ally at a standstill.r property values
have been DESTROYED. and many citizens
of this country have been compelied to
remove their families from the danger

news of American military forces land

Just now the United States does not
care whether Madero and Diaz and
their followers wage war under civil
lied rules or not. Complete disregard
Of Red and White Cross flags has been
reported, and the armistice was vio-

John Hays Hammond
Against Intervention;
Says Time Is Not Ripe

John Hays Hammond, who is inter-
ested in foreign investments in Mexico
representing more than $40. 000. 900. and
who is an authority on Mexican condi-
tions, does not think the time yet has
come for intervention In Mexico.
Mr.. Hammond built the first tramway
in Mexico City, and erected the first
big power plant in that country.
II have not as yet seen either the
Justice or the necessity Of intervention
in Mexico by the United States" he

that impeachment was the one course
left. Mr.. Dehesa thought that the Diaz
revolution would succeed.
The fact that Americans have been
killed. he said, was most unfortunate,
but their deaths could not be laid to
anything except accident. Private dis
patches. he said, informed him that
foreigners in Vera Cruz were not being
molested.

TO
PLAY COLLEGIANS
Nationals Second Team, with
Schaefer and Alhock, Will
Be Seen on Hilltop.
BUCK" BARTON TO PITCH
Entire Proceeds of Game to Be Given
to Women and Children Left
/ Destitute by Flood.

A game replete with extraordinary fea-
lures is promised on the Hilltop this aft
ernoon when Dutch Schaefer's eimientas
face the college boys in a benefit game,
the proceeds of which are to be given to
the women and children left destitute by
the recent flood in the central States.
The world-famous baseball comedy
team, Schaefer and Altrock, whose funny
antics have caused thousands of fans to
forget their troubles and laugh, will be
out in full force. Altrock to cover the
initial sack and Schaefer to cavort in the
outfield. In addition to the side-splitting
antics Of this couple, the fans will see one
of the foreign members of the Nationals
in action. Jacinto Calvo will fill in the
center pasture and Bill Allen, the rose of
Sharon, will take care of the right pas
ture.
Another incentive to Capital enthusi-
asts will be the sandlot battery, Buck
Barton and Dutch Munich, whom Man
ager Schaefer has promised to use during
the entire game, unless the collegians
should prove troublesome. The star Pep
co battery is in fine fettle, and should be
able to give the college boys tough fight.
Schaefer and Altrock have promised to
cut loose with everything in their roper
toire of comedy, and this feature in itself
should pull one of the largest crowds that
ever attended a ball game on the Hill
top. The duo have a number of new
stunts which they will pull for the first
time today, and a real treat is in store
for all those who have not seen the Ger
mans in action
Chris" Feinle, Georgetown's premier
finger, probably will do the mound duty
for the Blue and Gray, and, as he and
Barton are old rivals, a battle royal is
expected. A good many CT the reserved
seats have already been sold. but the reg
ular seat sale will not take place until
an hour before the game, which will be
called at o'clock.
