IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO.

The arrival Of the Paro, at New Or
leans from Vera Cruz, confirms the &C
counts already Ieceived, of the completion
Of the revolution affected in Mexico, b,
Paredes. The following letter was re
cciycd by the New Orleans Bulletin from
! Vera Cruz:
Vera Cruz Jan. 18th, 1916.
"Thc new President, Gen. Parades. h is
established lis ministry, vjz:-Gen Al
monte, late Minister TO the United States,
Minister Of War; Luis Parres OF Fnaace:
JodoI Casliiloy Lauzas, Of Foreign Affairs
aud Bishop Becorra, Of Justice These
gentlemen appear 10 inspire general conf
dence. The American Minister has de-
man4ed his passports, having failed on the
objec OF his mission
The verbal reports received by the Pa
ris go yet farther. They state that Mr..
Slidell was received with positive indigni-
ly. The N. O. Delta says:
"On the accession Of Paroles, our min
ister Mr.. Sidell, (probably after demand.
ing to be recognized, and the demand re-
l'used,) asked for his passports, but was ir-
formed that as he had never been received
as minister, no passport, in that quality,
| could be given 10 him, he then requested
that the gov 'rnment would give him an es.
cot to Vera Cruz, which WIS perempt0ri>
ly refused. Upon the news reaching Vera
Cruz, seven officers Of the U. s. brig Som.
ers, which arrived at that port on the 9th
inst, started for Mexico, well armed, TO es.
corr him through the country"
The Pic. questions the accuracy Of these
statements:
"The city New Orleans) was filled
yesterday with contradictory rumors in re
gard 20 Mr.. SIideII. The report at firs,
credited was that he had been ordered from
the Republic; tina; he ihereupon demanded
an escort from Jalapl to Vera Cruz, which
was refused to him; that Commander Ger
ry, of the Somers, then lying al Vera Cruz
upon this proceeded with detachment OF
officers and marines TO escort Mr.. SidelI
TO the coast,a distance Of seventy or eighty
miles. We do not attach much credit to
this rumOr-lt appears impossible A.
gain: a letter dated the 9th. from Vera
Cruz says, that up 10 that date Mr.. Sidell
had not demanded Of the new government
any recognition Of his official capacity, bu,
the popul1r belief was that such recogn-
ton would be refused. Another letter da-
ter dated The 18th, says: 'Mr. SideIl has
demanded his passports, having failed IN
the objec: of his M ssson.' This appears
10 us the more probable version The
Mexican papers before US say nothing on
the subject"
The Picayune furnishes the following
letter, relaing to Mexican politics, from
Cuba.
HAVANA, Jan. II, 1916.
Sahta Ana, shortly before the arrival Of
the steamer bringing an account of the
recent revolution in Mexico. gave up the
house he nierly occupied. and took an
other by the month. within an hours ride
of the city. BY the steamer there came
from Vera Cruz a special messenger 10
him. By The back steamer, sailed yesterday
for Vera Cruz, this messenger returned.
On the same boat was sent; by our Govern
ment an aid Of the Captain Generals,
on special mission. As soon as posi-
BILE, the Spanish ship Of the line, no W here,
is 10 proceed 10 Vera Cruz In the well
informed circles here, it has leaked out
that General Paroles is he dupe-or, as
called him in former letter, The ca,'s-paw
of Two opposing parties; one led by Al
monte and the Santa Ana faction. and The
other got up and wire-puiled BY the British
and Span sh ministers, (ihe French rep>
resentative is here,) and who call them
selves the monarchical party. At the
present moment the fight Is strong between
the two parties Herrara's fall is cons;d-
cred certain, and as an evidence Of his
weakness, he has given way TO popular
clanIor as refers 10 the American Min
lister. Paroles is known 10 be an old
fool, and unless one or other of the
TWO new parties place him 10 front as the
mask, he will be laid on The shelf The
British Minister'S party promises 10 secure
The integrity Of the country, preserving
