Tokio, Jan. 27. Considerable inter

arrival and activities of three Mexi
cans, who -represent the government
of General Carranza, and who are said
to be making extensive purchases in

machinery for agriculture and indus

Tokio denied that the Kctohira Maru
carried any rifles. The legation admit
ted that the steamer had sailed for
Mexico but said that her cargo was
confined to general merchandise and
machinery, consigned to a company in
Mexico. The legation added that Mexi
co had been seeking rifles but had been
unsuccessful, as all the available weap
ons had been purchased by the En
tente Allies. The legation confirmed
the departure of the Kotdhira Maru,
saying it was under charter to a Ja
panese firm.
It is believed here that the Mexico
government recently opened a credit
in Japan of $1,000,000 for the transac
tion of general business. During the
presidency of General Huerta the gov
ernment of Mexico opened negotiations
with Japanese firms for the purchase
of rifles and ammunition, depositing
some 3,000,000 yen for that purpose
in the country. About 12,000 rifles,
modelled after the Spanish infantry
weapon, were actually delivered to the
Huerta government, but before other
consignment's were possible the Euro
pean war broke out. This interfered
with the delivery of further orders
to Mexico. Some 60,000 rifles original
ly intended for that country were sold
to Russia and France and the weapons
that went to Russia are now being used
by the Russian troops on duty in north
ern Manchester.
