lO2, or Mexicans
In United States

New York, April 24.-Although, ac-
cordins to state department estimates
there are only 1000 Americans in Mex
leo at presents the last figures as to
the foreign population in this country
compiled by the census bureau show
that there were 102,022 male Mexicans
in the United States q years of age
and over This did not count, there
fore, women and children, nor the
great number of refugees who have
fed across the border during the last
two or three years. OF those returned
as of voting age, only 1882, or 10.7 per
cent. were naturalized.
A review of statistics on the COM
mercial intercourse between the two
countries shows that in 1911 Mexico
stood sixth in list of Americas 20
best customers" In that year Mexico
bought SCI ,2S1, lis worth of American
goods, while the exports to the United
States were valued at S57 ,450.111. In
the year ending June Is, 1913. the bal
ance of trade had considerably chang
ed, being in favor of Mexico, the i'm
ports from this country that year
amounting to only s54,571 ,5S4, while
the goods sold to us rose to a total
value of SIT 543, S42.
The last population figures placed the
inhabitants of the United States at SO.
S27 600 and of Mexico at 10, $4,000. MeXi-
cos navy is almost negligible as fight
ing force, consisting of nine gunboats,
five torpedo boats and one protected
cruiser, with a personnel of less than
1900 men. While the navy of the United
States ranks third among those of the
world with IA modern battleships and d
total altogether of 240 ships and per-
sonnet of 81. $50 men and officers.
The peace strength of the Mexican
army previous to the present revolution
was 81 600, with $4,000 reserves, or a war
strength Of 101 900. 1t was estimated that
there were available for duty, morgan
lied, LOCO, coo men. The provisional gov
eminent claimed to have an army of &c.
Geo. and it was proposed later to increase
it to 10000 the success of this being
problematical, as estimates of Huerta' S
fighting powers have varied greatly.
According to an estimate from the war
department at Washington yesterday
there are 42701 Federal soldiers in Mexi-
co. The total enlisted strength of the
army of the United States is S4,S59, it he
inb limited by law to rot more than 10O,-

1854 officers and men, while the unor-

Declare Huerta Kept
Cabinet in Dark

New York, April 24.-"The Mexican
government will sue for peace in two
or three months and why not arrange
peace terms now and save bloodshed?'
asked DR.. Emeterio De La Cara,
Huerta's appeintee to the Mexican
consul-generalship in Paris, as he
facd half dozen of his countrymen
in his rooms at the Waldorf Thurs
day morning. They had gathered to
discuss a way to end the threatening
trouble by the United States and their
own country Immediately.
1t was finally decided that the in
fiuence of Andrew Carnegie and 9TH
er disinterested advocates of peace
should be sought and that the Mexi-
cans in New York should repeat their
offer to Huerta to aid Mexico in any
way should peace measures prove flu
tile.
Huerta carefully kept even his min
listers and advisers in the dark re-
garding the action of the United States
until three days after the fleet sailed
from New York last week, according
to DR.. De La Cara, who said that
Huerta could never be the real Presi-
dent of Mexico. To prove his asser-
ton about the ministers he showed
telegram from Lopez Portillo, min
lister of state in Huerta's cabinet.
The telegram answered an offer of
New York Mexicans TO enlist CT 9TH
erwise aid their country in the event
of intervention. 1t said:
The government appreciates your
patriotic offer and thanks you and
the other Mexicans. but we do not be-
lieve that there exists today even a
threat of invasion"
This was sent after the dalies OF
the United States had been discussing
the possibility of invasion for three
days.
This is worse than war-it is a
gross blunder," said DIR. De La Cara
1T is not between two nations, but
between two governments. Huerta
does not represent Mexico. nor can he
ever be the real head of the Mexican
nation. but if the United States in
vades our country, every Mexican will
forget his dislike of Huerta and rally
to the flag, disregarding the fact that
he is fighting to support an intolerable
despot.
Neither Huerta. Carranza nor Villa
VIII ever be the real ruler OF Mexico
Such leader must rise from other
than internal strife, for person satt-
isfyinG one section of our country will
not satisfy another. A war with the
United States probably would bring
about the rise of national leader, but
that would be the only service ii could
perform.
Three months from now Huerta
will probably be suing for peace, but
the warfare will not end for Is years
if the United States tries to establish
Q protectorate Guerilla fighting will
follow and thousands upon thousands
of Yankee soldiers will die.
THE only solution of the problem
for the United States is after the pro-
tectorate is established to proclaim a
general amnesty and partition OF
! lands The Indians want land and il
/ they become proprietors they will set
! tie down as farmers. That will stop
the fighting and a rule of peace will
| follow
