the companies have refused on the pre-
text that the presence of the escort pre-
cipitates the attacks Of the rebels or
that the individuals of the escort do not
conduct themselves properly. These are
unfounded assertions.
Paymasters I'm Collision.
Moreover the relation which has ex-
listed between those same petroleum COM
panies and the rebels Is notorious. II be-
ing also suspected that there may have
been cases in which the paymasters
were in accord with the supposed as
sailants. The Mexican Government, In
order to demonstrate once more its WILL
ingness to furnish complete protection,
has already formally promised to reim-
burse the sums which might be taken
from the paymasters notwithstanding
the presence OF the escort, and II this
last offer Is not accepted the conse-
quences will be the exclusive fault OF
these same interested parties. E
II believe have made clear the true
situation and the possibility OF the Mex
lean Government giving daily increasing
means Of protection to life and property,
as II evidently has done, and Its un-
deniable desire to secure every class OF
guarantees within the national territory.
''In view of these facts the menace
embraced In your note has surprised the
Mexican Government, all the more SO
since 1t seems strange that 1t should be
exacted that even in depopulated regions
human life should be protected In
more perfect manner than in the most
populous cities of the most cultured
countries where bloody crimes often oc-
ctr without the respective Governments
