Mexico is the result of a land

put an end to conditions that had
kept the great mass Of the Mex
leans poor in spite Of the natural
wealth of the country.

Story of the Mexican Troubles

We publish this morning the
first of ten chapters of the pres
ent revolution and War in Mexl-
co, as brought out by the inves"
LEGATIONS of the New York Her
aid, and based on letters, tele-
grams and other direct informa-
ton that have come to light.
This country is deeply concern
ed in the revolution in our sister
republic; it has kept US in a
state of constant wild excite
ment for months: it has more
than once threatened US with
war, and may even yet drag US
unwillingly into it. There are
nine other installments to follow
that will tell a vivid story and
make clear recent events that
have heretofore seemed confused
and incomprehensible to most
people. It's a tale of tangled
skeins and webs of secret d.
plomacy, combinations and con
spiracies. The Mexican people,
it is now shown, were but pawns
in a great game of high finance,
for the revolution and the civil
war now prevailing in Mexico
we're not the fruit of popular up
risings or of great patriotic out
bursts, but a battle between the
rival interests of H. G. Pierce,
representing American interests
and Lord CoWdray, represent.
ing British capital, for the con
troll of Mexico, it's railroads, its
oil and other mineral properties,
and its business generally.
Something of this kind has
been whispered for more than
two years past, but the suspicion
could not be verified; and, as Il
matter of fact, they were moi
correct in all particulars. Now
at last it has been possible to get
possession Of letters, kilograms
ETC., which tell the story in full,
al its inside workings.
As first rumored, it was a
fight between rival oil interests
American and British, and while
there is something in the CORES

proves the struggle was ovel
