CRY OF Mexico, April %, 1913.

| Eds. DcHd.-lhe City has been compare
lively quiet for the past few days, and what is
most singular TO relate, we have not had a rob-
berry or murder that have heard of either in
the City or the vicinity, but i suppose il is ow
| ing TO the extraordinary exertions OF our mil
| itary police.
The all-absorbing topic is "what is the news
from Queretaro?" "will we have peacef'--
Who can answer the question?--the present
state of affairs incline us TO believe there is
favorable prospect. The Mexican population
have settled down on it as certainty, and
those who formerly opposed 1t, now acquiesce
without much grumbling. The Government
at Queretaro, apparently, are making great ex-
ertions TO consummate their object. They as
sert positively that they will have quorum
| by the LIST or 9th of the next month, and have
determined, if there are not enough of members
present by that time, they will throw out the
representation of the ceded territories, and the
State of Yucatan--by doing this, they will have
some IL or ID over quorum, and majority
sufficient TO carry any measure.
| At the first OF the meeting of the Congress,
/ they will confirm the election OF Herrera, as
President, and the formation OF new minis
4 try will follow, which will facilitate affairs
The present Minister of Relations lisa man Of
considerable ability, but he is most wofuly de-
4 ficient in energy. think it altogether likely
n that Senior Cuevas will so into the new Cabinet
! as Minister Civilizations. He is man of as
> much energy and industry as know OF in the
oi Republic and may give more stimulus to the
actions Of the Congress and the Government.
Gen. Herrera will not affect much Of himself
e individually, but he carries a great deal OF
strength with him in his supporters.
= The Congress of Mexico, do not think will
IL take responsible and decided action on the
treaty. | think il altogether probable, thai
, when they meet they viii consider the treaty
and the MODIFICATION ddeba te its provisions
e to some extent--then they will adopt either o.
n one of the two following modes:
mi LIST. Adopt the treaty as it was original,
D. made and signed. and then authorize the Gov
a. eminent to accept or refuse the amendment
ir and notifications of the Senate of the Unite,
to Sta :es; or, I'd. They will after debate, author
nd ze the Government to accept or reject the orig
ed inal treaty, notifications and all-in eithe
w. throwing the burden of responsibility upon tn
:. Executive and his cabinet of Councillors. -
he One of these modes. j am well informed wi
,er likely be pursued by the Congress, and it seem
les altogether probable as il is exactly in keepin
al. with their character-however, whatever is LEI
I'm for.the Government TO do, have no doubt wi
vel be complied with by them-they are left in
NO position that they must act. and at the sam
nd time they are anxious to bring about peac
ID disturbance in Europe has its effect here
na- breaking up the monarchists.
