grants who came in more than decade
ago were drawing higher wages than
those who have entered within the last
10 years. This cheap, unslkilled class or
labor coming in for the last 10 years has
crowded out the better class of immi-

Madero's Fall Confirmed

Dispatches from Ambassador Wilson
confirmed the salient features OF Ma
dero's fall and Huertas rise to power,
but state department officials withheld
their opinion. No one sought, however,
to conceal satisfaction in the assurance
of protection to life and property which
the re-establishment of order in Mexicl
City would bring to the thousands of
Americans and other Foreigners for whose
fore the world.
Although the step which would haze
sent American soldiery into Mexico had
not been taken. every branch of the de-
fensive arm of the service was organ
ized to it's highest efficiency.
The word of command was all that was
necessary to send troops across the bor-
der or to land blue jackets and ma
rines from the six warships already
swinging at anchor on the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts OF the disturbed republic.
Two thousand marines gathered all along
the Atlantic coast are tonight ready to

hours from Vera Cruz. Every detail In

Americans, as such. forced this govern
ment TO pursue the policy which officials
hope now Will not be necessary.
1t is not expected that the United States
will be IN haste to withdraw its battle
ships and cruisers from Mexican waters
The problems of reconstruction which
Mexico now must face will require nc
little time to inaugurate and the pres
enee of United States warships will serve
as a reminder to all clements that Amer

Suspense Is Lifted
| Surprise was expected at the Mexican
embassy here when Senior De La Cueva,
charge d'affaires, and the members of
the staff were informed of Madero's over
throw and it brought a feeling of re-
| lief, in that the suspense which they
had been undergoing in the last 10 days
| had been lifted.
Having received little official informa-
ton from Mexico City the embassy had
not been able, 1t was said, to forecast
| the result of the revolution. The staff,
however, appeared to be satisfied that
settlement had been reached, even il
| ii had resulted in a change in govern
ment
| General Huerta was described by at
| taches of the embassy as stern soldier
| OF the type OF FORMER President Jlaz a
man of great personal bravery and a
| friend of the elder Diaz. On account of
/ his long service and bravery. 1t was said,
he was popular with the army and well
/ known throughout the republic. Felix
Diaz leader of the revolution and Cen
eral Huerta also had been made friends
| before the Madero conflict arrayed them
| in opposition camps.
Since the first of the year when Senor
| Calero left here, Mexico has been without
| an ambassador in Washington, and af-
| fairs of the embassy have been handled
! by Senior De La Cueva, the first secre-
| tary. When Senior Calero returned to
/ Mexico City, where only a few weeks
| ago he made the startling declaration in
| the senate that during his stay in wash
| ington he had lied about conditions IN
| Mexico, there was much speculation as to
| who his successor would be.
Anti-American Spirit
simultaneously with the arrival of the
American battleship Virginia at Tampico,
| Mexico there was a wave of anti-Amer-
| lean feeling throughout the city and many
hostile demonstrations. Americans and
| other foreigners are apprehensive OF
! trouble. Consul Miller reported to the
| state department that Governor Guerra,
who led successful federal onslaught
on the rebel forces, seems responsible
| for a widely distributed circular attack
! ing the United States and calling upon
/ the people of the state of Tamaulipas
| to rally for the defense of their country.
| The circular, after being issued was with
| 6rawn, but not before a feeling of re-
sentiment against Americans has been
aroused
