LONDON Jing. That a woman is at the bottom of the Anglo Mexican trouble appeared from Mr Ramsay Mac- Donald's statement in the House of Commons to dy. He said Mexico had accused Mr. Gunming of writing insulting letters and demanded his inmediate withdrawal. The letters which Mr. MacDonald had read related to an attempt by the Mexican Government to dispossess a British subject Mrs. Evans, of her farm."

Mr. MacDonald said

was nothing objectionable in the letters. (Cheers.) If foreign offices objected to such communications there would soon be no diplomatic relations at all. The Mexican Government's behaviour was inexcusable as it threatened to break into the Legation on June 16 if Mr. Cummins did not surrender.

PROTECTING BRITISH SUBJECTS. Mrs MacDonald warned the Consul General of the gravity of such a step and requested that action he suspended until the Hobler Mission had arrived. The Mexican Government refused. The United States Government at Mr. MacDonald's request had arranged the safe withdrawal, of Mr. Cummins and wonld take charge of the Legation. Mr. Mac Donald, amid cheers, emphasised the gecessity of protecting British subjects and safeguarding the British Government's digatty. He concluded that he was not quite sure what had happened to Mrs. Evans but believed she had met po harm. The whole story was most romantic. One of Mr. Cup mins' letters said she was left defenceless and alone except for the assistance of a brave young American.
