We hasten to lay before the readers Of

The Water Witch, Captain Trennis. left
Vera Cruz on the 9Th instant, and arri-
we'd here between and o'clock this NOR
ming. 1t seems that after all the gascona-
ding dispatches Of the Mexican Minister,a

VERA CRUZ, Aug. 4, 1914.
DEAR SIRs-l last had this pleasure, per
Rslampago, which lef, here on the 23d ult:
no arrivals have since taken place from
yaur port.
The elecison Of a new President cemmen-
ced on the lst inst. for there are four can
didates--say, Gen. Herrera, President ad
interim, Gen. Almonts, ex-Mexican Min
lister at Washington, Gomez Farias, and
one other, whose name has escaped nv
memory. The Presidency however. seems
TO lay between the two former, one of
whom, it is supposed, will be the seccessful
candidate.
Almonte has offered his service 10 the
government in the approaching campaign
against Texas; but | rat her think it is more
a ruse de guarre TO help him to the .Presi-
dency. than any great desire he has got TO
havea brush with the Texsns--or as |
ought to say now, the United States.
H. B. M. brig Of war Persian arrived
here on the 9th ult., in seven days from
Galveston, bringing the news Of the an
nexation Of Texas beingiconf:med by Pres
ident Jones-and also that a body of Uni
ted States troops,say about 1000 men, were
expected al Galveston in the course Of a
few days.
1t appears now that our government is
in no hurry to declare war against the U.
nited States, or, at any rate, it seems to be
the general opinion tina: she will merely
attempt to re-conquer Texas, without ma.
king any declaration Of war. The Minis
try has presented and sent to the two Cham
bers for their elaboration.
1st. TO declare war against the United
States.
ID. Authhrizing them to raise foreign
! o. national loan to the amount Of Is mill.
ions Of dollars, which they consider to be
requisite 10 carry on war and re.conquer
| Texas.
The proposals are now under discussion
in the chambers, and fthey get the "Par'
gent" there is no doubt they will make the
attempt to again get possession, though il
is doubtful whether they will declare wal
against the United States or not.
