think this is the view held by all

The feature Of the presidents policy
tte+ seemed to command Mr.. DOheny'S
y1-sTnnest approval is its neutrality to-
ward the contending factions. This. he
said. has had the result of saving
Americans in Mexico, for the most
part. from the enmity of either side.
"They have occupied our properties,
said Mr.. DOheny, sometimes one side
sometimes another; they have taken
orr horses. our cattle, and whatever
money they have been able to find IN
our safes, they have taken away our
rifles and ammunition and have COM
Wandered our boats and our employees
to oDerate them; they have eaten our
food whenever they appear on our

of our people, bat they have not set

killed any of our people
Mr.. Doheny said his visit to Wash
