NO DESIRE FOR ANNEXATION.
Tho San Francisco " Chronicle " in a recent issue says:— "It must by this time bo apparent to the dullest intellect in Mexico tlmt we have 110 desire for territorial aggrandisement. Tho Mexican generally may know nothing of what we have don©, are doing and intending to do in the Philippines, but they must know that we have given tho world the utmost proof of our willingness to annex an inch of a neighbour 7 ,s territory. " Even if ccmpleto intervention should be forced upon us, and the Carranzistas are doing everything possible to bring that 'about, we would not think of annexation so .long as there was tho prospect of Mexico being some day able to keep her housa in order. However, tho situtaion has reached a stage where it is for Mexico to decide between our friendly co-operation in the interests of peace, and the other thing."
