Mexico.
The Union also notices the rumor of an inten-
ton, on the part of Mexico and France to put a
French prince on the throne of Mexico and makes
upon 1t the following COMMENT
We will not undertake to say, there is no truth
IN this rumor, which is not altogether new; but
certain II is, that we are not advised Of there being
any foundation for it in the official dispatches -
Mexico is apparently IN a state Of transition and
1t becomes the United States to keep watch and
ward over her revolutions, as well as the mlinten-
once Of our own rights
Int and Important from .Ne1ico Weleorn from
the correspondence of the Baltimore Anne can,

The Philadelphia United States Gazette publishes
the following speculative leterfrom Havana. The
Gazette says the writer is gentleman of obserra-
lion:
HAVANA, January 3, 1916
DEAR SiR:-l have heard numerous rumors that
are floating about in this city, and will give you
rev OF them; There Is no doubt that some grand
scheme Is going forward among the European
Courts. One of the rumors is, that one Of the sons
OF the hing OF France is to marry the Hjantn of
SPAIN and take possession of Mexico and rive it
back to Spain. The Court of Madrid will appoint
the son OF Louis Philippe Regent of Mexico
mere appears some truth IN tins rumor, rs we have
large Spanish feet in the harbor and a large
French fleet is expected here to act in concert with
the Spanish England will have large number of
ships OF war to cruise in the Gulf of Mexico
What share Of the spoil England is to receive Mad.
am Rumor does not say, but only hints at Unper
California, or the Eastern hall OF CUBA, say to the
longitude Of 1S, this part of the island will be
nearer her possessions. The Court of Madrid does
not like the idea OF giving England foothold in
Cuba, as from this island Spain derives nearly all
her revenue, and she knows full well that if Eng
land once raises the cross of ST. George in Cuba
the whole island is lost to her and in lieu of this
will offer Victoria, Porto Rico. Santa Anna is here
opd Is a deep politician: he is no doubt trying to
effect revolution in Mexico through the army, by
working on their feelings against the United States
for anneXing Texas. As Santa Anna is in the pow
er OF the Spanish Government he wishes to make
it appear that he is in favor of giving up Mexico to
Spain; he is in correspondence with all the Gen
erals Of Mexico he receives several large pack
ages by every steam packet from Vera Cruz
Santa Anna you viii find to lead the European
dlplomatlss on the wrong scent; his object will be
10 throw Mexico into the arms the United States,
just at the time the European powers have all things
arranged this he no doubt thinks will cause u war
between France and Spain, in which England must
take part with Spain.
You will see that Spain in her stupidity, will
lose the Island Of Cuba, as the Cubanians only
want preteXt to declare themselves independent
and have the Republic of Cuba. Uncle Sam will
no doubt have an efficient navy to keep off a few
hard knocks.
