no tdings of the missing mail steamer Tay The
only remaining hope for her safety is, that she

PETERsBUReH, Jan. u, loio.
BY the overland express we have New Or
leans papers to the 22d inst, through which we
learn that the brig Salvatore, with dates from
Havana to the 10th inst, had arrived.
There had been an arrival at Havana from Yu-
catan with dates to December 25th. Congress
met on the 2lst, at Merida, and received a mos
sage from the Governor giving a deplorable &C.
count of the state of affairs on the peninsula.
The Governor had entered into arrangements
with Zetina, the chief of recent revolutionary
attempt, by which he was to receive eight hun
dred dollars and join the Yucatan commissioners
at Washington.
Stipuations had also been made with other
officers, compromised with Zetina, and thus all
civil dissensions had been quelled.

this Court yesterday in the ease of Mercelte Hazeur
VS.. Municipality No.1. On the Both of June, 1912,

the Supreme Court of this State, in the matter of
Municipality No. praying for the opening of Bar

the opening of said street, was taken, and com
pensaton awarded therefor of 81 ,3l6. The defend
ants pretended that the plaintiff has been and still
plead prescription of five years. No action was
taken on the plea of prescription and it was aban-

plaintiff for the sum Of 81 ,3l6, with interest at per
cent. per annum from the date of Judgment, and
that the Municipality, on paying the amount, be
