MEXICO AND CUBA AT OUTS.
Breaking Of Diplomatic Relations Seen
as Indirect Action Against U. s

Washington.-In Mexico's sudden
breaking off Of diplomatic relations
with Cuba, is seen an indirect action
against the United States. Those
here most familiar with Latin-Ameri-
can affairs, profess to see in IL tba
forerunner of more direct action. DOS
siDiy an interruption of Intercourse
between the United States and Mexico.
Although without official Informal
uon OF a detailed character. it ia nm.
oerstood here that Mexicos real priev-
ance against Cuba is the recent Incl
dent Id which the Mexican minister to
argentina, Senior Ysidro Fabela. vas
delayed In Hanava while some official
pstenably Cuban customs inspector
searched his baggage, and probably re.
moved some papers said to be of an in
ternadonal character.
This incident is believed here to ha
tne real cause of the break, and those
who entertain this belief are firm IN
the conviction that Mexico was con-
Vihced that the United States was re-
sponsiDle for the incident.
