WASHINGTON'. Dec. "JO. -The
provisional government in Mexico
City has issued a decree extending
to March Ul,thc time for revalidation
of mining titles, according to a Mex
ico City dispatch today to tho state
department.
A messaijo dated December 121,
from Kale Pass, says the situation
remains unchanged at Picdras Xe
grus. A mail report from the American
vice-consul nt Kusenuda, Lower Cal
ifornia, states that "while there has
been some political disturbances- of
late, conditions to general arc im
proving and the district is quiet." He
adds that the bitter fceliuir ngaiust
Americans, which was noticeable last
spring, apparently bus disappeared
and that 17fi or 1200 Americans now
niv in the district.
In that connection, however, the
stnte department announced that "it
does not advise Americans to return
to Mexico, and those who do so go
there on their own responsibility."

SALKM, Or., Dec. 12o Governor
West has appointed Gcorgo Xeuner of
Roseburg district attorney ot Doug
las county, to succeed George Brown,
who will become attorney-general on
Janunry 1. Mr. Ncuner was n rep
resentative in the legislature at the
last session, and the suggestion has
been offered that, inasmuch as he
participated in tanking the county at
torney bill n law, ho cannot serve ns
a district attorney. The supreme
court has held that a member of n
legislature which creates an office
cannot be appointed to the office.
Governor West, however, says the
last legislature did not create the of
fice to which he has appointed Mr.
Xeuner. Mr. Brown was the district
attorney before the law providing for
district attorneys in each county was
passed, and therefore Mr. Xeuner is
appointed to fill an unexpired term
WASI11XGTON, Dec. 120. Anuui

the relenseor former guvcftibr Itur
bidc. Pain fox, an adherent of Zapata, is
said to have bee neager to sec Itur
bido held. The latter was comman
der of the federal district during the
brief administration of Provisional
President Carbajal, but remained af
ter his colleagues had fled and took
an active part in keepin gorder af
ter the Carruuzn forces withdrew
and the Zapata forces entered.
Secretary Bryan, admiring Itur
bide's personal courage, in preferring
to maintain order in the city rather
than make hi own ese,ac, took a
personal interest iii tho case and
identical representations wero mode
to both Gutierrez, and Villa to obtain
his release. Iturbidc now is on his
way to the United States, but reports
from Mexico City say Pain fox an
nounced bis intention of arresting
him if he were caught eu route to
Kl Paso.
Mr. Sillininii in his report dis
missed the story of the bribe ns absurd.
