"Yesterday I bad the honor of re

which \'ou are pleased to state that al
though you have no instructions from
the President of the United States of
America In the scope of your Instruc
tions. you reply to the note of this
Government, given to you through tne,
of the 1 €t6h Instant. You are please:d
to repeat from those same Instructions
the paragraph, which, translated, save
literally:
" 'We wish to act in the prese nt cir
cumstances under the Inspiration of
the most lively and disinterested
friendship. We propose, In all that we
do or say by reason of this serious and
Intricate situation, not only to main
tain the most scrupulous respect for
the sovereignty and Independence of
Mexico, and we consider ourselves ob
ligated to that respoct by all the con
stderations of honor and right, but as
■well to give all possible proofs that
we are working onlv In the Interest of
Mexico and not for any person oi

Mexico for her own good and In the
Interest of her own peace and with
no other object of any kind. The Gov

considering that the negotiations In
hand concern the peace, welfare ami
prosperity of a whole people.
•• 'We are working, not with selfish
interest, but In accordance with the
dictates of our friendship toward
Mexico.’
Denies De Facto Government.
"in spite cf the fart that at the
beginning of the note which I now
answer you state that you lack In
structions from the President of the
United States of America after the
statement which 1 reproduced above,
you state tr. the name of that same
President that the method indicated In
my note of the 16th Instnat in so far a*
it concerns the recognition of the
present Government (which I may
say In passing is quite far from be
ing a de facto Government, as you
have chosen to qualify It), or o any
other future Government of Mexico
this you add Is something which only
the United States of America may de
cide. which in the exercise of Its sov
erelgn rights In this respect, will not
hesitate, especially in times of serious
domestic trouble, to consummate in
the manner in which, in the Judg
ment of the United States of America
and not in that of Mexico, may be
best for this latter.
“You add that th* President of the
United States of America sincerely
and ardently believes that my Gov
ernment w’ill see In the suggestion of
his excellency Mr Woodrow Wilson

vital interests and for Insuring the
speedy re-establishment of our do
mestic tranquillity

“And always In the name of the
President of the United States you
submit to the consideration of my
government the three following prop
ositions:
“‘1. That the election called for the
16th of October of the present year
(the note sent to the Foreign Office by
Mr. Lind stated October 26. and not
16» shall be held in accordance with
the constitutional laws of Mexico.
" ‘2. That President Huerta, in the
manner originally Indicated b\ the
President of ths United States
America, give the assurance called for
in Paragraph C’of the original In
structions, a paragraph which says
literally. “The consent of General
Huerta to agree not to be a candi

structions shall be taken up later, but

“You add furthermore. Mr Confi

the United States of America has au
thorized you to say that if my gov

sitions) Is called ‘President Huerta.’
and In the whole course of the note
the personnel of his administration U
referred to as the ‘de facto’ govern
ment.
“Hut inasmuch as this or that qual
ification is of no Importance upon the
ground that all the representations
of your Government have not oeen
initiated except wltli ourselves, which
gives us. upon the supposition that
we have not been dispossessed of It, a
perfect political and moral personali
ty to clear up the present divergence,
I intentionally limit myself solely to
point out the facts:
“If your original proposals were not
to be admitted, they are now, in the
more restricted form In which they
are reproduced, even more Inadmis
sible. and one’s attention is called to
the fact that they are insistent upon,
if it be noticed, that which the first
proposals had already defined.
"Precisely because we comprehend
the Immense value which is possessed
by the principle of sovereignty which
the Government of the United States
so opportunely Invokes In the ques
tion of our recognition, and precisely
for this reason, we believed that It
would never be proposed to us that
we should forget our own sovereignty
by permitting that a foreign govern
ment should modify the line of con
duct which we have to follow in our
public and Independent life.
Would Compromise Future.
‘Tf even once we were to permit
the counsels and advice (let us call
them thus) of the United Statee of
America, not only would we, as I sav
above, forego our sovereignty, but we
would as well compromise for an In
definite future our destlniee as h rov
erelgn entity, And all the future elec
tions for President would he submit
ted to the veto of any President of the
United States of America.
"And such an enormity. Mr. Confi
dential Agent, no government will
evsr attempt to perpetrate, and this I
Am sure of, unless some monstrous
and almost impossible cataclysm
should occur In the conscience of the
Mexican people.
“We believed, taking Into consid
eration the disproportionate Interest
that the President of the United
States of America has shown con
cerning our internal affairs, that ne.
as well as his Government, would
know perfectly well the provisions of
our constitution In the matter of elec
tions.
"Unfortunately, and In view of the
insistence with which his excellency
Mr. Wilson, sustains his first ideas,
we are compelled to acknowledge we
have made a mistake.
“The reform of constitutional arti
cles Nos. 47 and 109, put into effect by
the Congress of the Union on Novem
ber 7. 1911, provides among other
requirements that which is* contained
in the final part of article 78: ‘The
Secretary of state in charge of th«
executive power shall not be eligible
to the pfilce of either President or
Vice President when the election shall
take place.’
Makes Huerta Ineligible.
“This inscription, which I take the
liberty of making. Mr. Confidential
Agent, in order that the Government
of the United States of America may
take due notice of it, prevents the
constitutional ad Interim President of
the republic from being a candidat
of the forthcoming elections, and if
his excellency. President Wilson, had
taken into consideration that para
graph before venturing to Impose on
us the conditions in question ami
which we may not admit, the present
state of affairs between you and our
selves would have been avoided, leav
tng out of the discussion our decorum
and the personal pride of the Presi
dent of the United States, wrongly
Interested in this discussion without
foundation.
"It should be well understood that
the ad interim constitutional Presidcm
could not be elected President or Vice
President nt the forthcoming (‘lec
tions, already called for October, be
cause our own laws prohibit him from
being a candidate, and these laws aro
the sole arbitrators of our destinies,
but never through the imposition, al-
though friendly end disinterested, of
the President of the United States of
America or of any other ruler, power
ful or weak (this does not matter in
the case) who would be equally re
spected by us.
“I beg to inform you, Mr Confiden
tial Agent, that up to the present
time, at least, only the President of
the United States of America has
spoken of the candidacy of the consti

IMPERATOR EXCELLED TITANIC
The Imperator was launched at Hamburg', Germany, May 13, 1912, in the presence of Em
peror William, who stood sponsor for the giantess. The Imperator has been in commission less
than three months, having left Hamburg on her maiden voyage to New York on June 11 last.
Disaster to the great ship so soon after her construction instantly brings to mind the fate
of the great Titanic, which sank on her initial voyage. In comparison, however, the specifica
tions of the Imperator are more imposing than those of the Titanic. The dimensions of the
Hamburg-American liner follow:
Length 919 feet.
Beam (width) S3 feet.
Gross tonnage 50,000.
The Imperator’s bridge is 90 feet above the water, and her three gigantic funnels extend 69
feet above the upper deck. Her masts extend 246 feet from keel to truck.
Wireless apparatus sufficiently powerful to transmit messages 1,500 miles was installed on
the liner, and she carries three wireless operators on every voyage.
She is equipped with five mighty anchors, one weighing 26,445 pounds, two weighing 17,636,
and one 11,463. Her kedge anchor weighs 4,960 pounds.

From a source close to Henry Lane
Wilson, Ambassador to Mexico, it was
learned to-day that Ambassador Wil
son will demand elth^^m-xt Monday
or Tuesday that he be immediately
relieved of his position. The demand
will be made on Secretary of State
Bryan. Ambassador Wilson has al
ready tendered his resignation aa
Ambassador to Mexico, effective Oc

of his diplomatic duties because of
the dissonance that exists because of

is taken to mean that he will with

Blease Says Wilson
Too Easy on Mexico.
CHARLESTON. Aug. 28.—Governor
Cole L. Blease thinks Americans liv
ing In Mexico and having property
there should be allowed to stay, and
if Huerta gets fresh with them the
United States ought to go down and
hand him a thrashing. He believes
the President is too cautious.

Many firemen were burned by being

All the freight which had been
brought over on the voyage ending
here last night was in the ship's hold
and the efforts of the ship’s officers
were redoubled by knowledge that loss
of the cargo would add at least $1,-
000.000 more to the damage.
Origin of Fire Mystery.
The origin of the fire Is a mys
tery. Captain Ruser expressed belief
that the flames had been burning for
some time before discovered. It was
possible that they had ignited about 4
o’clock or sooner.
The Hamburg-American Company
ordered a rigid Investigation.
In telling the experiences of his
men, Fire Chief Gavin, of Hoboken,
exclaimed:
“It Is a wonder any of us are alive
That ship is the most complicated
thing inside we ever saw.”
Fire boats bringing firemen from
New York City were rushed to the
scene, not only to fight the blaze upon
the Imperator, but to prevent the fire
from spreading to the crowded ship
ping in the district.
The loss of life probably would
have been heavier but for Chief Ga
vin. Captain Ruser ordered a num
ber of seamen into the seething pro
vision room to search for bodies, but
Gavin would not let them go.
“You are sailors, not firemen, and
you don’t know how to protect your
selves,’’ said the Hoboken chief. ‘Til
send some experienced men.” He did.
Here Are Some of
Imperator’s Wonders.
The Imperator, which was the
greatest ship ever built, had been in
service only a few months. It com
pleted Its maiden trip across the At
lantic on June 21 last. It wns a ver
itable floating palace, excelling in
comfort and luxury even the Titanic.
Following are some of the wonders
of the giant liner:
A flower garden with a large mini
bed.
A candy and toy store for children.
A notion store.
A running track.
An elaborate Roman bath, two sto
ries high, 65 by 41 feet, made of
bronze and marble.
A swimming tank 31 by 21 feet, with
a maximum depth of nine feet.

That 100 counties of Georgia’s 149

Judge Hart wished to know Just
