The papers make very patriotic appeals
c to all good citizens to come up to the res
, cue Of the country. Even EI Republican,
claims that "the President is max ing, and
will make new efforts, as great as the emer.
gency requires" 1t urges all to make the
sacrifices which will be demanded, and
appeals to the Congress about to be as.

The Official letter Of the Minister of the
Treasury, Senor Iturbe, dated the 18Th,
before the news of the actions of the Sth

lie tells the Archbishop that the Govern.
ment has appropriated all revenues which
were mortgaged, snspeuding without ex-
ception all payments TO its creditors that
it withheld fourth part of tho salarie, of
all It's employers; that all classes were call

must not be exempt. He then calls for a |
loan of $2,4O0,000, payable in twelve
monthly instalments, commencing the 3Oth |
June. The Archbishop is callel upon to
partition the loan among the various bod.
