Is such thut they were nblo to make some stir

tbo condition ovory.vhoro is that of pnaco

you may know , what you call the 1'eons or
Indians. Mexico has about twelve million
people , and fully four million of these uro
of pure Indian blood and live million rnoro
are of mixed Indian and white blood. Thuso
people1 nro of the doscomltints of these who
were In the country when Cortoi cm no and

They nro conservative rather tliun pro

uellcvo , In tlioni the mutorlal nut of which u
great people can bo miulo but this will bo
by nduca'.iou and through incroaxod prosper
ity , which will advance wui/us nnd stimulate
them to ambition In the works of puuco
rather than these of war. They could only
bo brought into revolution by famine or waift
or by the prospects of receiving high p.iy as
soldiers , or by fear. The priests bavo last

inont throUKh tbo loss of church property
ami through tlio fact that the country still

Mexico have been almost nil built since the
lirst administration of Provident taand ) n
number of new roads nro in course of con
struction. Wo have moro than O.OJO miles of
ronil In operation and all the largo cities are
now connected by gooa railroads. The Mex
ican Contra ! has n trunk line ol l,2il mlles
and the line which they have rocontlv com
pleted from the trade i-ontTof San Louis tjo-
tosi to the Gulf of Mexico atTnnipico , prom
ises to have a Kro it trafllc. They hnvo also
n line running westward to Guadalajara
which is a largo city ajd ( they will extern !
this line on to the Pnclllc coast and thov
have tbo surveys for it made. Wo are build
ing an iinmnnso lotty system nt Tnmnico
which will make this harbor one of U.B finest ,
in the world , nnd which will make a. rnat
port at this point and will make it a railroad
contor. A railroad h being pushed
south from the city of Mexico toward Guam-
rnnla ever thosamo line practically that Gen
eral Grant , and myself Inid out , and this will
open up n very rich ngriculturul nnd mineral
country. Wo have Just completed n narrow
tiuoifo road from Mexico city down to Vorn
( Jnu , nnd this road will ho extended to the
1'acilid through a very rich country. The
era of profitable rnilrouding In Mexico bo nn
only six years niro , and tbo country i& being
opened up in a wny thnt Is surprising to in ,
and surprising to all foreigners who vrMt us.
Our ( jovirnmont receipts are Incroasinp vnry
rapidly , and the country Is goini ; forward
riflit aloni ; . The railroads are p.iylnK a t'ood
interest on their bonds ; nnd though they
wore tirst started with subsidies from the
Kovornniont , the ones baiiur built now nrn
mainly private enterprises unasslitod by the
government which will rely on the wonder-
fid resources of the country for their bup-
port. "
"How about HUT chnncos for American in
vestment in Mexico , Mr. Komerof" I
asked.
"Thoy nro.I beliove.practleally unllijdtod , "
was the reply , "and I don't think capital can
bo put in any plnco In the world ul.oro It will
bring forth gnmtor results than it \\ill if
properly invested in Mo\ico today. The
fields of Investment nre many but fanning ,
mining nnd manufacturing of many kinds
will yield great reiullsnnd a careful study of
ol the country and some capital nlucd ny
peed business brains will make fortunes.
Tbo now railroads are opening up vast nrcns
of line k rlcultural lands nnd lands nre > cheap
now in these icgiona nnd can bo bought , on
such terms that they will pav well. ( Juito n
number of Americans are oigaged In inanu-
f net u ring In Mexico , and paper mills nnd salt
refineries will L'lvo largo prollts. We hnvo
some of the llnest furniture wood in the
world , still wo Import the creator portion of
mir house furniture and there nro chnnros
for manufucturlnj ; In almost every line of
trade. The host way for Americana who
wish to Invest In Mexico Is to go to the
country nnd oxnminu it for 'homHulvos ,
Tnoy will tlnil fairly good hotels In the larger
cities and the government and tbo people will
ilo everything they can to show them Just
what Mexico is nnd to tauo hold of any good
thing they may have to offer for her. "

us animal traction in the streets of largo

moderate buccoss , and the jlolgian cable sys

tbo trolley system lias been found to answer
exceptionally well for canal navigation. The
trolley can ba run without diftlciilt along the

"Wo could cnll together atput 200.000 good

a gcnorni reserve which would make up the

"f.i it true , Senor Romero , that the rank

your prisons and thnt you have many ox-
conviots among vour soldiers I'
"No , it is not , " replied Mr. Honiara. "We
have ninny Peons among our soldiers but the
Indians make splendid lighters and they
have been trained to battle , through thu
revolutions of the pant. The .nro nt free
from crime as any soldiers in tlio country and
they may bo depended upon In battle ns well
as any troop * in tlio world. They are portions
tions not so well equipped ns vour American
troops , but they can undergo great hardships
and thov have shown themselves to bo
bravo men m the Buttles of Mex
ican history. ! With this army President Diaz
could put down in n fe\v weeks any rjvoln
tion thnt might arise. The froo-bootlng ex
peditions of the north are mad a through n
sparsely settled country arid through onu
which has much desert land and which is
rough in the extreme. Thc.smatlness of the
number of rebels , smugglers or free-booters
or whatever you may call them , makes it
dilllcult to catch them nnd they uro nn nn-
noynnoa though not at all dangerous to the
general peace of the country. "
