we are to accept the tests OF It's own
constitution it has no government.
Gen. Huerta has set his power up
in the city of Mexico, such as It is,
without right and by methods for
which there can be no tifcatlon.
Only part of the country is under his
control. If armed conflict should un-
happily come as result of his attl-

this government, we should be fight

adhere to him and give him their

to set up again their own laws and
their own government.

T speak for the American people
when I say that we do not desire
to control in any degree the affairs
of our sister republic. Our feeling
for the people of Mexico is one of
deep and genuine friendship, and
everything that we have so far done
or refrained from doing has proceed
ed from our desire to help them,
not to hinder or embarrass them.
We would not wish even to exercise
the good offices of friendship with
out their welcome and consent.
1.-The people of Mexico are entitled
to settle their own domestic affairs
in their own way, and We sincerely
desire to respect their right. The
present situation need have none of
the grave implications of interfer-
ence if we deal with it promptly,
firmly and wisely.

necessary in the circumstances to
enforce respect for our government
without recourse to the congress and

powers as president; but I do not
wish to act in matter. possibly of 50
grave consequence except in close
conference and cooperation with
both the senate and house. 1, there

should use the armed forces Of the
United States in such ways and to
such an extent as may be necessary
to obtain from Gen. Huerta and his

the rights and dignity of the United
States, even amidst the distressing
conditions now uuhappily obtaining
in Mexico.

New York. Nov. a0-The bond mar
ket opened dull and listless on the New
York stock exchange today, the first
full day of trading of any sort since
the exchange was closed on July 30.
Unusual interest was manifested among
brokers who thought that the two
hour session of Saturday did not af-
ford a full test Of conditions and
feared there might be a general ten
dency to liquidate by foreign holders.
Nothing Of this sort developed In the
early trading. For a full minute after
the opening the ticker was silent. Not
a single bond was sold. In the first
five minutes only nine bonds. with a
face value OF $4,000 had been sold. The
market appeared to be in state Of
stagnation.

These warships," the Ancon's oper-

With their high-powered apparatus
they cut into the middle Of a message

! Sight British and Jap Ships.

San Francisco, Nov. 30-Three Jap
anese and one British warship and two
Japanese GOLFERS were sighted off
Magdalena bay. Lower California. last
Monday, by the American freighter
Aztec, now in the port here from
Iquique, Chile.
The British light cruiser Newcastle,
sister ship Of the Glasgow. and the
Japanese cruiser Idzumo, both of which
have long been patroling the Pacific
coast, were recognized. but another
japanese cruiser and Japanese
battleship were unfamiliar to the
Aztec's officers.
Probably these vessels were the
battleship Hizen and the cruiser
Asama. which coaled and left Honolulu
as soon as the German gunboat Geier
interned there. The understanding in
the Japanese colony on the islands at
that time was that the Hizen and
Asama were bound for the South
American west coast.
