Mexico City Papers Take That View of Mission to Japan.
MEXICO CITY, July 18.—Gen . Felix Diaz, who has been appointed Special Ambassador to Japan to express the thanks of Mexico to the Japanese for their participation in Mexico's centennial in 1910, is referred to to-day by the newspaper El Pais in an editorial article as "the political emigrant." The article says Diaz is being sent out of the country, and expresses the opinion that there will be no elections in Mexico in the time fixed.
El Independiente also frankly expresses the opinion that Diaz practically has been, exiled, at least temporarily.
An unusual honor is to be paid to the new Japanese Minister by the Mexican Government, which is sending a commission consisting of one representative of the Foreign Office and two military attachés to meet him at the port of Manzanillo. The plans are being pushed for a huge popular demonstration on the arrival of the Japanese diplomat in the capital.
