San Francisco, Cal., Dec. 31.
Fielding J. Stilson, a Los Angeles capitalist, announced here today he had been advised that he was to be appointed "diplomatic representative at Washington" of Gov. Estaban Cantu, of Lower California. "I believe," he said, "this foreshadows the secession of Lower California from Mexico."
Mr. Stilson, who said he was a cousin by marriage of Secretary of State Lansing, refused to discuss his announcement further than to say that he was to meet here today a personal representative of Cantu and expected to receive from him confirmation of his appointment.
His connection with Cantu was "indirect", he said. He added that he had no doubt if Lower California set itself up as an independent state, the country's development would be materially quickened.
Stilson has been in San Francisco about a month.
