Greet Japanese Minister.

New York Times 100 years ago today, July 23, 1913:
Thousands Welcome Him and He Refers to Differences with Us.
    MEXICO CITY, July 22.— Thousands of students bearing Japanese flags greeted Mineichiro Adachi, the new Japanese Minister, on his arrival here at noon today, in spite of the suggestion of the Japanese Legation that a demonstration be prohibited. With the exception of excited remarks by some of the orators, there were no anti-American utterances.
    The Minister, in a speech from the rear of the special train, said he was agreeably surprised at the manifestation of good-will and appreciated the spirit which had prompted it. He referred to the fact that his country, as well as Mexico, had had some differences with the United States, and styled Mexico and Japan brother nations.
    Strong forces of soldiers and mounted police served to suppress any tendency to disorder.
    Notwithstanding the maintenance of order and the repression of cries, derogatory to Americans, foreign residents here regard the demonstration as anti-American, since the call for the students to assemble, which was posted on the school bulletin boards many days, requested that the students should gather "to express publicly friendship for Japan in the face of danger from stronger nations, who are threatening Mexico's nationality."
    The Government sent to Manzanillo an official committee to welcome the Minister, and at Guadalajara he was greeted by a great crowd, military band, and troops, and later was the guest of honor at a banquet.
    The special train on which the Japanese Minister traveled was decorated with Japanese and Mexican flags.
    On the arrival of the train here so dense was the crowd and so determined were the people to get a close view of the Minister that it was twenty minutes before he could emerge from his car.
    Earlier in the day it became known that the Japanese Chargé had suggested to the Huerta Government that his government will not sanction any demonstration upon the arrival of the Japanese Minister, which might partake of an anti-American character. The Chargé said at the same time, however, that his
    Government was pleased at the manifestations of Mexican friendship.
    Wire communication in a roundabout way has been established between the capital and Laredo. The first telegram in many months from Laredo was received late last night, being sent by the citizens there, congratulating President Huerta upon the progress of his administration.
    The disappearance of the rebels from the railroads east and west of San Luis Potosi has enabled the authorities to reopen the lines to Aguas Calientes and Tampico. The rebels on the main line of the national Railways have moved farther south, however, and were reported last night at Bocas, the first station north of San Luis.
