STILL CONFIDENT C0L01STS1E SAFE Grave Situation in Mexico Occasions Oc-casions Little Alarm for Mormon Settlers. At the office of the first presidency of the Mormon church yesterday an optimistic opti-mistic spirit still manifested itself concerning con-cerning the situation of the Mormon colonists col-onists at Juarez and Dublan. "It is. my opinion," said President Charles W. Penrose "that the dangers which maj' beset our people there come more from marauding bands, pretending to be revolutionists, than from the revolutionists revo-lutionists themselves. Indeed; T think that the people who are In Juarc:; and Dublan are not in nny serious -danger, Whether Madcro's government continues or Is replaced by another. 1 feel sure that the American peoplo there will bo protected. It 13 more likely that danger may come to those who are scattered, and away from the settlements. Of course, the situation is peculiar for them all because of their neutrality." Apostle Anthony W. Ivlns i.i now" ut 131 Paso, being in touch by courier with the settlers at Dublan and Juarez, He Is also keeping in wire communication with the first presidency here. Not until he reports re-ports necessity for sucji will extraordinary extraordi-nary measures of safety be undertaken. So far there is no cause for special alarm.
