INTERESTED IN MOVEMENTS OF UNITED STATES.
"Only the Resignation of the President Can Save Us." Declares One Newspaper.
Mexico City, Jan. 5.—Anticipating early developments in the relations between the United States and Mexico, the keenest interest was shown by Mexicans in the return here today of the American ambassador, Henry Lane Wilson.
The ambassador was besieged by reporters at Vera Cruz and on arrival at the capital, but was uncommunicative.
Some of the more sensational newspapers print strong criticisms of the administration charging incompetence.
One paper published extra late last night, an edition with a big caption reading: "Only the resignation of the president can save us."
The article set forth that this demand is contained in a note which Ambassador Wilson will soon deliver.
The administration continues to assert that the relations between the United States and Mexico are friendly.
The senate, however, has asked the sub-secretary of relations, for a statement as to the American-Mexican status.
The sub-secretary has asked for time to prepare the statement, for which, however, he says, there is no reason.
A request of the executive that the 40,000,000 pesos bond issue recently authorized by congress be increased to 100,000,000 pesos, has not yet been granted.
Skirmishes between the federals and rebels occur almost daily in several States. Villages are raided and towns sacked. Many rebels captured recently have been summarily executed.
Denial is made that Francisco Carbajal, president supreme court, has been appointed to succeed Manuel Calero as ambassador to the United States. It is generally believed, however, that he will be named.
