Economic Conditions HOpeIess.

El Paso, Tex, April 15-Economic conditions in Mexico are menacing to the hopes of a restoration of order and the avoidance of serious friction between that country and the United States, according to an American who returned here today from a tour which embraced most of the territory north of Mexico City.
 This man, who is identified with large American interests in Mexico, brought reports of the destruction by mobs of the American plants and warehouses in several places.
 'These outbreaks,' he said, "are in my judgment far more economic than political. The condition of the masses of the people throughout northern MaNicO is terrible. Mag nficent farm lands, capable of rais- ing almost any crop in the world, have been lying untitled for five years. The peons live, or rather exist, in misery. Plain starvation faces thousands of them The trouble is that they have been se- dulously taught by agitators to be- lieve that all their woes are due to the foreigners. They have never seen a poor, ilI-nourished American anu IIc IIdulllOIldl envy O. the poor for the well to do has grown in their case to a mania
