the American policy In that country is
understood TO have been offensive to the
Washington Government, was Increased
to-day as result OF the British Foreign
Offices denial that Sir Lionel Is to b

The British denial has not iessened
in the slightest degree the conviction here
that the British Government did decide
to transfer Sir Lionel largely because Of
the resentment In the United States over
his published interviews regarding the
Mexican situation.
The belief continues that not only will
the change be made. as first reported
from London yesterday. but that II will
be due to the desire Of the British Gov
eminent to remove a possible cause Of
friction between that Government and the
United States.

Specia, Cable Dsspdtch to THE SIN
Mexico CITY, Jan. 6.-Sir Lionel Car
den. the British Minister, denies the truth
of the London rumor that he Is to be
transferred from Mexico City. declaring
that he has received an official denial by
cable from the Foreign Office He de-
clined however. to permit the correspon-
dent to see the message.
The report of his forthcoming removal
from the legation here is generally be-
lieved by the Diplomatic Corps. Those
who credit the story saw tn. cause of the
break is that Sir Lionel Garden sent a
despatch to the Governor of British Hon
duras urging him to make every effort to
prevent the expectation OF arms from
Belize for the Castillista rebels In Quin-
tana Roo. Campeche and Tabasco The
United States Is regarded as having con-
sdered this message, showing PARTISAN
snip with Gen Huerta. as improper on
the part OF a diplomat.
1t is understood that Washington has
long desired the removal OF Sir Lionel
Garden, The newspapers OF Mexico city
refer to him to-day as "Mexico's friend"
to Rio de Janeiro as a reward for his
work here. The newspapers add that he
is going to Brazil to foster anti-American
sentiment In that country.
II the report should prove true the re-
moval OF Sir Lionel Garden would be due
TO some important cause. as there IL no
British Charge d'Affaires here to take
over the duties Of Minister pending the
appointment of his successor.
The Government. in explaining the rea-
son for the proclamation communicating
all horses In the republic, announced to-
day that it would not take the horses Of
foreigners or animals Indispensable for

In return. The principal purpose OF the
proclamation Is to prevent the rebels from
getting a supply of horses.
The ranch owners OF the state OF

part. are Offering all their horses to the

The Mexican Consuls at Nogales and

SUGAR DIVIDEND PASSED.
Federal Company to Make No Dis
burse ment ON It's Common stock.

Because the regular dividend Of IA
per cent. on the common stock Of the
Federal Sugar Refining Company has not
been earned, the directors have decided
that no disbursement shall be made. The
regular quarterly dividend OF ~ per cent.
on the preferred however, has been de-
clared.
President Spreckels issued the following
statement: THE directors OF the Federal
Sugar Refining Company have decided to
pay on January 81 the regular quarterly
dividend on It's preferred stock, but not
to pay a quarterly dividend on the COM
mon stock inasmuch as a dividend on the
common stock has not been earned during
the past quarter.
This is due to the fact that during the
past few months the margin between the
cost OF raw sugar and the price at which
refined sugar has sold has been too small
to Justify a dividend on the entire capital
stock.
The company will resume the payment
Of dividends on its common stock as soon
as the normal difference between the
price OF raw and refined sugars Is re-
stored, and the directors believe that
such resumption will occur very soon. ;
