resented in the reorganization
| The Latin-American view is that the
United States Intervention in Mexico
would be step in the direction OF
territorial expansion by the United
States. The Latin-Americans want no
|such step in Latin-America. They
suspect such, il they do not believe,
that the United States has Interior
motives in the matter. This is why
they are SO firmly against Intervention.
The Latin-American governments
are "cientificos" governments. Their
sympathies and interests are with the
Mexican '.cientificos." Hence their
resolute stand for "cientifico" partici-
patton in establishing new Mexican
government.
The administration was not con-
WINGED that General Carranza's offer
to enter into peace negotiations with
General Villa and General Zapata
contemplated settlement; its view
was that he wanted Villa and Zapata
to "sue" for peace. This was not the
idea of "get-togeth-
err program. There were still hopas
Of peace, but there was not much
optimism concerning their realization
through Pan-American action.

To the Editor of The Gate City:
Last Sundays Gate City carried IN

instrumental in determining that, it
may interest your readers as you sug-
gested to give the facts showing how
this elevation was determined
In 1880 | was city engineer and
Sergeant Shanefelter was in charge of
the signal service Office which was
then located on the fourth floor of the
building on Second and Main streets,
now used by the Iowa State Insurance
company.
The war department found trouble
in reaching conclusions on the eleya-
ton they had been using and was
asked by the sergeant to get the cor
rect elevation of his barometer above
sea level.
went to the records of the Penn
sylvania, the New York Central and
Illinois Central railroads and a gov
eminent survey. The first two rail-
roads and the United States survey
from tide water at New York came
together at Chicago with less than
five inches difference, but the Illinois
Central coming up from New Orleans
differed from the others by about one
foot and six inches. I then got the
engineers of the c., B. & @. to rive
me the elevation of their track here
in front Of the old station just above
the present water works.
Connecting that up with our bench
mark here found two things in reach
ing my final conclusions: First, that
in Chicago they had been using a
wrong elevation for Lake Michigan.
Second, that the elevation used here
was 81 feet too low. Reporting my
findings to the sergeant who trans
mitted them to the war department, l
received letter from General w. B.
Hazen, chief signal officer, under date
of December 20, 1880, in which tbani1-
ing me for the interest you have TAX
en- in this matter advises me prac-
tically of the adoption of my report
with a slight change from the coast
survey which l had used, to that of
Professor Hayden's geological survey.
He gave the corrected height of Lake
Michigan at 5S1920 feet above sea
level and it may be of further interest
to say that is practically the eleva-
ton OF the school house lot at the
corner Of Eighth and Blondeau streets
He fixed the elevation of the bar
ometer in the old office at 617.6SS
barometer at present is given at GIG
feet above sea level.
