An ox plnnntlon bearing all the marks of authenticity nnd clearing up tho Am-erlcnn-MexIcnn-Jnpaneso situation, was given hero today by ono of tho most prominent Moxlcnii-Amorlcans In the country. According to this In formant, who Is in a position to know but who Insisted upon tho suppres sion of his name, President Diaz was seeking a way to rofnso n coaling sta tion on Mngdnlcnn Islnnd to tho Jap anese even hoforo tho ronewnl of Am erican government's contract enmo up for dlscuBslon. "Diaz," snld tho Moxlcan-Amorlcnn, "found hlniBolf between tipper anil nether millstones. Howns Impress ed with tho Inlluenco or tho Japanese In Mexico nnd particularly with tho knowledge that they lin'ri mapped his entire western coast. Slow, Insis tent pressure was brought onto him to give Japan n coaling station on Magdalonn liny. On tho other sldo was the United States nhd tho .Mon roe doctrine. Ho temporized until tho knowlodgo of his situation reached tho Whlto House. From tho latter to his con siderable relief came an unmlstnkalilo latlmatlon that Japan was not to hnvo r the stntlon, although tho samo prlvl ' leges for tho United Stntes were not Insisted upon. Diaz then luforniod Japan he did not enro to loaso any part of his country to a foreign pow er. "Not knowing what might bo tho result or tho Moxlcnn nttltudo In Japan, Taft ordered n mobilization of a division of American troops at San Antonio, Galveston nnd El Paso. In Mexico, every citizen understand ing the situation realizes that in event of Japaneso aggression which, however, baseless Is still feared, Mox lco must roly upon tho assistance of the United States. As against any over sea powor, Mexico would stand with her big nolghbor to tho north." "The Informant also said "Most of the Japaneso entering Mexico nro not coolies but nro votornns of tho lato Russu-Jnpanoso war, but enmo to Mexico or their own accord and for their own onds. And bear this In mind, they do not make maps for fun and wo know that many of these Im migrants hnvo had no othor vlslblo occupation." WRECK OF CA!
