Mexico, April 21st. 1916.
Ii would seem That the Mexican government,
notwithstanding the above letter, is DESTROYS TO pre-
pare for war. and has asked Congress for loan
of So, 600, 900.
On the 10Th of April, Congress, passed reso-
luton, allowing Santa Ana and Canaizo to expa-

will take some ofour citizens by surprise. Though
il has been whispered about that the government
Of Texas mad made overtures TO Mexico, for the
recognition Of the Independence of the young re-
public, the fact was neither officially known nor
generally believed.
Tho communication of Senior Caevas, settles the
matter beyond all its or butts and proves very
concIuslvely that Presiden, Jones and his bine,
have been Fostering Mexico to acknowledge Tex
as independence, in the hope that such ackuowl
edgement, by gratifying the national pride of the
Texans, might induce them 10 reject annexation.
We entertain no such belief. But to continue our
budget of news:
The Mexican government in the event of the
failure of the proposed negotiations, is preparing
for war. The authority of Congress has been
required, 10 order TO contract loan of three mil
lions of dollars interest not exceeding fifteen
per. cent. Authority likewise has been asked
for the settlement oflhe foreign debt of Mexico.
