Minister I4wantour sent to the Associated Press today a letter In which he commented upon the interview with him. published today, and modified a few of the state ments made. The Minister calls attention to four points: lie refused to talk about ths plans of the government, stating thai, as Minister of Finance. It waa not fitting for him to make declarations on this ublect snd also that be lacked the authorisation to do so. Referring to ths feature relating to changoe In ths electoral laws, he said: If. In the conversation. I referred lo the desirability of reforming our elec toral legislation. It was as one of the various measures which. In my opin ion. It would be advisable to adopt, and not as one of the things that are at present being considered by the Gov ernment." Mr. Limsntour denied that be spoke of antagonism between the people and the administration and lack of accord between the governing slement and the governed, sddlng: "1 referred only to the disorganisa tion and the certain Inquietude which 1 have found In the public spirit and which contrasts with ths enthusiasm snd ths sbsolute confidence la the future which still existed four months ago, when we celebrated our centennial." The minister's fourth point follows: "When you ssked me what was the truth respecting the alleged negotia tions with the rebels and ths conces sions that the Government wss disposed to mske them. I said to you that there had not been any negotiations, so far as I know, and that t'ie only determination reached ur to the present time has been of a military character. -T did not exclude ths possibility thst pacific measures might be era ployed lo effect a termination of the revolt, because, from the beginning. I hsve hsd the conviction, and so I have said publicly, that we should not fsll tn take advantage of measures snd op portunities, however remote might ap pear the probabilities of success, which might result la a union of all Mexicans snd especially In the present circum stances, when such union Is neceseary to avert danger of disorders growing oat of the revolt threatening thed Ig nity and supremacy of the nation."

LOS ANGELES, . March 23. (Special.) For some months now the American public has been kept Informed, or mis informed as the case may be. of the do ings of a little band of revolutionists on the south side of the Mexican boun dary line. Not the least important fea ture of the news has been the almost daily reports of the smuggling of arms, men and ammunition through the lines of United States troops to the insur gents. Money and food supplies have gone through also, although the Ameri can authorities would- have you be lieve otherwise. And all of this, or at least a very large part of It, has been done under the direction and according to the plans of a little group of writers snd newspaper workers, with thslr headquarters at 519 hi East Fourth street. Los Angeles. Rlcardo Flores Magon, his brother. Fnriaue Flores Magon. and John Ken neth Turner, the author of a series of. articles on Mexico that attracted wide attention, are the leaders of the little group. With them is Antonio I. Ville real, a well-known leader of Mexican anarchists, and L. Gulterrex De Lara and Mrs. De Lara. These and one or two others make up what they have called "La Junta del Partido Liberal Mexlcano" (The Junta of the Mexican Liberal Party.) They also edit and publish the revolutionary paper "R generaclon." This Is done openly, al though every effort has been made by the Mexican and even the officials of the UnHed States Government to stop them. To the dingy little rooms on the sec ond floor of the Nelson flats on East Fourth street come the money, arms and other supplies for the revolting bands. There Is written the copy for the Regenraclon, most of It by the Magon brothers and Turner, and there. In an Inner room, flock the soldiers of fortune, a mixed and nnsavory lot for the most part, but once In a while comes one with something more then a lust for loot and lawlessness in his eyes. Finance Plans Brew. Still another plan Is being worked out In those rooms. It Is no less than to finance insurrectionary movement In the north of Mexico, dictating Its man agement so as to harass Mexican troops without open wsrfare. with the goal of forming sn independent state of the ststes of Chihuahua, Sinaloa, Sonora and Baja or Lower California, under one government and that a socialistic one, and eventually turning this new nation over to the United .states. The head quarters of this great scheme are in Chicago, but the main directing point le there In those dirty upper rooms. There Is a fear even among the most optimistic of these revolutionists, and all revolutionists are optimistic by na ture, else they could not be revolters, that the plan of federation of states will be balked even if the revolution goes through, for there is conflict of opinion among the Insurgents them selves. Said Llberado Rivera, called the Brsln" by his companions; "We have pushed forward our movement In Low er California far more than has been done elsewhere In Mexico, and we lib erals propose to lead and not to be led. In many things we are at one with Villareal, but we are unable to agree with his theories of government: we are not anarchists. We propose to go ahead and establish our own system of government In Baja California, with Mexican as a capital. There we hope to found na socialistic government. From that city we hope to reach out and eventually cover all of Mexico. "We are In sympathy with the other movements against the present Mexi can government, but that sympathy extends only so far as those movements look to the overthrow of Diax. The forces headed by Madero we consider.

Junta's Work Constant. Founded long before the actual out break of hostilities, the Junta has been steadily pouring a stream of men, money, arms and munitions of war Into big supply depots hidden away in North Mexico. Kot even the spies em ployed by President Dias and the Amer ican Government have been able to trace these, so shrewdly has the work of forwarding them been carried on by the Junta. Sending ammunition and food has been easy compared to the smuggling across the border of the soldiers of fortune who have Joined the Insurrection movement here. . That has been a task that taxed the Ingenuity of the leaders to the uttermost. Always tbey havet had the knowledge that everybody who enters the headquarters building was watched. They have known that spies have rented apart ments on the floor below them and aci-OFS the hall from them, and that nothing they did In these rooms was free from suspicion and espionage. To avoid possible delays in getting the arms and ammunition, the Junta adopted strictly business methods. It purchased what was needed as It was wanted from the sporting-goods houses In town. As a result the hunt ers and other sportsmen have found It next to Impossible to buy revolvers, automatic pistols and ri flies of certain calibers. In getting these arms with the necessary ammunition across the border, the Junta has been uniformly successful.

The shippers of the contraband selected some little station In California near the border and shipped the arms and ammunition In big packing boxes, marked mining machinery, to that point. There the stuff was taken to the warehouse of some sympathixer, opened and repacked into smaller bun dles, that could be carried on the backs of burros, and so across the line Into Mexico. So well has this work been done, that Mexican, a month age with out supplies of that kind, now has plenty to fight off an army.
