The passage of this bill and the con

Mex co is Angry.
Washington, April 7.—While the offi
cial relation* between the United Htate*
and Mexico were never more cordial
than now, and while there Is nothing
in the material interests or desire« of
either republic which conflicts In the
slightest degree with lhe others, offi
cials of ths American Htate department
have become suddenly aware of the ex
istence and rapid growth of n public
sentiment in Mexico of distrust and
suspicion of Americans and the Ameri
can’s intentions respecting Mexican ter
ritory. This condition ia made more
exasperating but none the lees harmless
and emlwrrasaing from the fact that it
is entirely groundless in fact, and the
officials declare haa for its basis nothing
but irresponsible newspaper gossip and
criticism.
Coal and Clean Ship.
Kan Diego, Cal., April 3.— Wireless
reports received from Magdalen* lay
state tliat the record target practice of

Magdalena bay at 4 o'clock in the after
noon, wns 240 miles south at noon to
day aid will rejoin the fleet late to
morrow afternoon.
The weather at Magdalena bay ia re
ported as cloudy and threatening,
Giese condition* having prevailed for
aome time. No rain has fallen in the

Gay, the force of whose simple melody
and artless ringing laughter he appre

while admitting Milton's greatness,
thought him “such a bore that no one
