reSentativeS of other governments would be incompatible with public in terest as 1t would tend to impair the usefulness of theseApfficials to their respective governments; and to make public the personal and the frequent ly confidential statements submitted from time to time by civilians might seriously embarrass them.
 Tt may be added that the papers requested by the senate resolution comprise thousands of documents, the greater part of which set forth indi- vidual opinion and suggestions from different points of view and therefore contain a mass of divergent and con- tradictory matter, incapable of re- duction to a harmonious statement of fact regarding the situation m Mexico, or of the plans proposed for it's improvement.
 Closing of Fl Paso Port.
 "9-With reference to request for data, letters and reports relating to the closing of the port of El Paso and re-opening the same to importa- tions of meat from Juarez, the un- dersigned has the honor to state that the port of El Paso has not been closed during this administration to the importation of meats from Juarez. If meats were from Juarez were at any time prohibited entry into the United States, it was because such meats were not properly pre- pared to pass the inspection main- tained under the regulations of the department of agriculture of this government and not because the port of El Paso was closed to any parti- cular class of imports.

1T have also the honor to append 0 list, enclosure No. 12 of the citizens of the United States who from various causes have lost their lives in Mexico during the years 1913, 1914 and 1915. The total is seventy-six. From the lat ter part of February, 1913, when the military operations against General Huerta began, to the close of the year 1915, period of thirty-four months, a great portion of the territory of Mex leo was the scene of domestic strife. Yet, it may be noted that during the years 1910, 1911 and 1912, when a much smaller area was disturbed by war, forty-seven Americans lost their lives in Mexico and this was at a time when the country was assumed to be at peace, since the Madero revolution which began on November 20, 1912, lasted only six months.
 While seventy-six Americans lost their lives in the entire territory Of Mexico during the years 1913, 1914 and 1915, in the same period there were twenty civilian Americans and sixteen American soldiers killed on Am erican soil, adjacent to the inter national boundary, and during those

Wake up feeling grand, your head will be clear, your tongue clean, breath sweet, stomach regulated and your liver and thirty feet of bowels active. Get a box at any drug store now and get strengthened up by morn ing. Stop the headache, biliousness, bad colds and bad days. Feel fit and ready for work or play. Cas- carets do not gripe, sicken or incon- venience you the next day like salts, pills or caIomel. They're fine.
 Mothers should give a whole Cas- caret anytime to cross, silk bilious or feverish children because it will act thoroughly and can not injure.
