respect. The correspondent OF the Sun
writes:

polism could not parajyze. Yuratan loves
Mexico, but she loves liberty more. She
desplses the base counterfeit! OF liberty that
has degraded Mexico; she longs for the
Constitution Of 1924, but il cannot lie had;
and if war must come. then she will raise
her standard OF Independence. and will take
her stand among the nations ls the " repub-

We were prepared, says the New York
Sun, for this intelligence, ard were it not
for the respectabi,ity Of our correspondent,
who is most intelligent Spanish gentleman,
in one Of the principal cities, We would be
inclined to withhold is publication. His
language in the original Spanish is more
'orci5e lh0n our translation. He has fair
opportunities for ascertaning the course of
public opinion, and we attach considerable
Importance to his statements. Yucatan
may yet regenerale the whole Mexican Re-
public.
