UNREST IN MEXICO.
HOW THE TROUBLE WAS CAUSED.
“WAVE OF ANTI-AMERICAN FEELING.”
[UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT.]
(Received March 13, 11.30 p.m) LONDON, March 13. Sir Thomas Holdieh, who left Mexico on February 14th, writes to _ the “Times” stating that the genesis of the trouble was a popular riot in Mexico City, owing to a report that Mexicans had lynched a Texan. This aroused a strong wave of anti-American feeling, and it led to a demonstration, which was suppressed without difficulty. The city was perfectly quiet since October.
Tile insurrection at Chihuahua began in a revolt against the local governor, rather than the Federal Government, ■and, up to a month ago, was purely local. He was not aware of any serious uprising elsewhere, -but had no doubt whatever about the bitterness of the anti-American feeling in Mexico generally. It is that, rather than hostility to, President Diaz’s administration, which threatens disaster in the future.
