Which the thirteenth census will be
taken will be largely due to Director
E. Dana Durand's economical methods,

gained by the permanent census bu-

was the statement made by Senor <|
Mariscal, minister of foreign relation®,
tonight. The action of the United
States in severing relations with the
southern republic was not resented by
Mexico, he said, although it came most
unexpectedly at a time when his gov-
eminent was awaiting a reply to ite
suggested plan for peace, Ho said:
"We do not resent tho action of the
United States, Why should we? Wo
have absolutely no Interests In Central
America except in Guatemala where I
there are about 40,000 Mexicans. We
are still waiting for a reply from the
United States government to our sug-
gestion for an amicable settlement of
the trouble. We made tho suggestions
epontaneousiy because we had not been,
as on several previous occasions, ap-
preached by tho United States on tho
subject of intervention in Central
America. In view of such advances in I
the past, we did not consider it dis- 1
courteous to offer these suggestions in
the interest of humanity. What these
suggestions were I still am not at lib- ’I
erty to state."
The news of the breach between I
Nicaragua and the United States ere- ; I
•iled a great sensation here today. The I
situation was the chief topic of conver-
sation on the streets, in the restaurants J
and at the clubs. Members of all for-
eign colonies, In nditon to the Mexi-
cans, exhibited lively interest nt the
sudden turn of affafrs. Tho action of
the United Statee occasioned great p
surprise throughout the city.
At an early hour today Minister
Mariscal, his sub-secretary, Federico
Gamboa, and Governor Enrique C. Creel
of the state of Chihuahua and who was
formerly ambassador to the United
States, went to Chapultepec castle,
where they remained for a long time In
private audience with President Dlaz.

mouth of every man who went to see

Minister Mariscal gave the statement

From unofficial sources it is learned
that up to the time Minister Mariscal
wrote to Washington suggesting his
peace plan, no communlcation. had
passed between Mexico and the United
Ntates, If there was an interchange of

foundly secret in this capital.
Francisco Castro, the Nicaraguan
minister to Mexico and a close friend
of ZohK-yn. In speaking of the action of
the United States in referenco to Nica-
ragua. said:
"I belleve it is unjust because the
main cause, apparently, is the execu-
tion of the twn Americans, and this
action of my government was perfectly
in accordnce with the laws of the
country and was executed by com-
mand of a military jury and not by
direct order from the president of the
republic, as has seemed the purpose of
the press to establish. President Zelaya
only acted in accordance with our mili-
tary code. Once President Zelaya has
disappeared from the Central American
seme It is very probable that President
Estrada Cabrera of Guatemala may
have strong power or control in the
politics in that region."
Estrada Cabrera, the dictator of
Central America—that is what Minister
