Monterey, Mex, Feb. 3.-One of the
reporters of FL Porvenir, local news
paper, interviewed General Pedro Viii
lasenor, who, during the latter part Of
Carranza's regime, was commander of
the Fifth Division of the Mexican army.
General Villasenor had been away from
Mexico since Obregon's inauguration.
He is returning to his mother country
making use of the amnesty decree which
was recently issued by 0bgeron.
General Yillasenor declared to the
reporter, that many Mexicans who live
in North America and continuously pro-
claim their loyalty to Oregon are n
bunch of liars" because they are the
worst enemies Of Oregon. Among
those he places General Palaez, Cen
eral Felix Diaz and Cononel Esteban

US. NEGROES In MEXICO
10000 Blacks Kept Out by Official Or
der Last Year.

San Luis Potosi, S. L. p, Mexico,
Feb. s.-Train auditors arriving here
report that at least two large parties
of American negroes have arrived IN
this country with the intention OF col
onizing. The last group arriving Is re-
ported to consist of over 200 families,
with large percentage OF young women
from 10 to 20 years of age. The I'M
migrants all seem to have Tambaca, IN
this state, as their objective. The re-
gion is very rich one and climatic
and soil conditions particularly adapt
il 10 successful colonization.
No official advice of this movement
has been given out and it is assumed
that the migration has been made with
out official sanction. 1t is not gener-
ally believed that the government is ia.
vorably inclined TO colonization OF
North American negroes in the republic,
as during the past year the location OF
some $4,000 of them was prevented by
official refusal to grant lands for their
occupancy.
The semi-official reason given for this
action at the time was that Mexico was
not seeking immigrants whose influence
would tend to lower standards, either
morally or industrially, but did desire
those whose industry, methods and NOR
atty would have a wholesome and up
lifting effect on the native population
among whom they would locate.

ROADS TO DRILL WELLS
VIII Save Money BY Using Company
Owned Oil.

Mexico City, Feb. S.-With view
to saving several million pesos annually,
the National Railways Of Mexico expect
to enter into the field as petroleum
producers. The management has soil
cited a concession to drill wells In
known oil lands, belonging to the ma
ton, from which they expect to secure
enough oil for operating purposes. This
at the present time amounts to 4OO,OOU
barrels per month, for the entire sys,
TEN. The roads are now mining all
the coal used by the northern divisions,
from their own mines at Palau, Goa
hula.
The saving resulting from the new
move is expected to be enormous al
there is not only the producers profit
to be paid, but there Is also invariably
certain brokerage added on by agents
who purchase the oil. Under the pro
posed plan only the actual production
and delivery costs will be chargeable t.
| fuel.
Another incentive IN the movemen
is the Matchmaking Of the supply. TIL
coal supply for the roads is produces
by the system itself, but all the oil nov
being bought is from the hands of for
eign interests, from which the road
expect to separate themselves as nue.
as possible.

SEIZE LARGE ESTATE
1850, 900 Acres Of Rich Land Appro'
priated From Heirs.

Mexico City, Feb. San official
decree an ounces the appropriation of
a belt Of land along the northern
frontier Of Chihuahua, amounting to
9. 100000 acres. The tract extends
from Just west OF Juarez, opposite FL
Paso, to the border of Sonora and
heretofore belonged to the Las Palomas
company, owned by the heirs Of Louis
Huller, who was the founder of the
company. Huller was mysteriously
killed about fifteen years ago and for
that period the lands have been in liti.
CATION.
The appropriation Of the lands is in
conformity with the decree which pro-
hibits foreigners to own land within
100 kilometers Of the frontier along the
northern and southern boundaries OF
the country, or within so kilometers Of
the coast. Also il Is expected that the
Las Palomas lands will be rapidly and
thickly settled with Mexican farmers
as an aid in the guarding of the front.
Ter from. the incursion of smugglers
who have been a source Of great an.
noyance to the government.
Opinions as to the efficiency Of this
kind of frontier protection differ, .,
many believe that the increase in popu'
lation along the line between Mexico
and the United States will have just
the opposite effect, the denser pcpula
ton making smuggling easier and
| thereby a greater temptation to oper
! violation Of the laws.

HARBOR FILLING UP
American Steamers Will Not Touch at
Salina Cruz.

Mexico City, Feb. 3.-The govern,
ment has received notice of an Official
character from Washington that until
further notice American steamers VIII
not touch at Salina Cruz in future.
II is not understood that this means
the service to Manzanillo will be aban-
doned as the advice only mentions the
former port. 1t is generally believed
that this decision was arrived at on
account Of the sitting up Of the harbor
Of Salina Cruz, which has for months
made entrance dangerous for boats OF
considerable draft, such as those OF the
Pacific Mail S. S. Co.
Locally various reasons are given FOR
the action, but the most commonly ac-
copied one.is that the United States is
taking this action to divert Atlantic
bound freight from the Tehuantepec
railroad, of which Salina Cruz is the
western terminal. so a greater tonnage
will pass through the Panama Canal.
The notice reads that the action is
taken at the recommendation OF the
Pacific Mail Steamship Co., and it is
known that this company has had diff
ficulty of late in getting into the har-
Dor.
The residents and officials at Salina
Cruz have realized the danger that
sooner or later the condition of the har:
Dor would preclude the possibility OF
these. and other ships Of similar draft,
entering the harbor and have addressed
memorials to the government request
ing that dredging be resumed. The de-
partment of communications and public
works has agreed to do the work, but
so far funds have not been made avail

PLAN NEW COLONIES
Texas Mexicans May Return to Native
Country.

SaltillO, Coah., Mex, Feb. 3.-The
representatives of several hundred Mex
leans now living in Austin, Manor and
Del Rio, Tex, have recently been in
this city examining lands with the view
of establishing colonies. Most of the
prospective colonists have spent several
years in Texas and are thoroughly edu.
Gated in American farming methods.
These representatives state that the pro-
posed colonists are we'll equipped with
modern farming machinery and that
most Of them have some capital with
which to begin operations in their new
homes.
1t is intended to form several colo
MES, one near this city, another near
Uruapan, Michoacan, and another in
Jalisco. The lands in Jalisco are now
being divided up by government engi-
neers and it is stated that over 200
families have been allotted lands there.
The tract consists Of over $1,000 acres,
all of which is irrigable and highly
productive. A term of fifteen years is
allowed the colonists in which to pay
for their tracts.
The representatives are asking nc
concessions from the Mexican govern
ment other than that they be allowed
exemption from freight and custom
house charges for the farming equip
ment they are bringing in.
