Of the -drc0 Ets-a Vera Cruz paper. We find in
II not the slightest news of interest. Below We
publish two letters from our correspondents.
VERA Cruz, June Is, 1919.
There is but little of interest to write you from
this place: Everything is very quiet and extreme
ly dull An embargo was laid few DAYS since on
all vessels in this port, the object of which has not
yet transpred. Rumor says there is a projected
revolution in Tobasco--again, that there is some
smuggling going on down the coast AT all events.
it is some matter so big with Importance that they
have despatched their entire fleet Zone small schoo-
ner, with one mounted gum to the scene of ac-
ton.
There is a little more talk here about Santa
Annals return, than there has been tor some time
past but few persons, however, believe he has
any intention Of it, If he should return and get
in the country safe among his friends, and remain
for fortyeght hours, really believe that in two
weeks he would again be proclaimed President
The Saratoga returned here few days since
from Tamplco, and the British steamer to-day; re-
ports all quiet, with the exception of the Indians
in the interior-ot that you know as much or more
than we do
l6h-Passengers by the stage this morning say
they have seen persons lately arrived from Cali
lorna, and they give very unfdvorable account of
affairs there; the mines being filled with water,
and no gold digging-money very scarce and a
great deal Of destituton and misery.
CRY OF MEXICO, June 3, lSi9.
Thinking II may be of some service TO the ctl-
zens OF Mobile TO inform them, as Tar as lies in my
III
state the following facts concerning this route:-A
person leaving Mobile can 60 through by Vera
Cruz, city of Mexico, Guadaaxara, and San Bias,
for two hundred and fifty dollars, provided he be
Francisco, l understand, the price of passage is
two hundred dollars. The amount OF baggage al
lowed by the proprietor of the stages is twenty five
pounds only and tor every pound over, that the
all persons coming by this route to carry very light
baggage | will also add, that all persons coming
by this route should be well armed with Samuel
Colts large revovers. Mexican robbers, fearing
them, will not attack. There should be from eight
to ten persons in each party. Messrs. Garcia, Dee
pons IL Kern, large owners of mules and horses,
contemplate bringing passengers from Vera Cruz
TO this city for much less than the stage line but it
will require eight nine days travel; the stages
come in four. The expense by the stage line from
Vera Cruz this city is from sixty-ive to seventy
dollars. In coming through the country, l would
advise draft on Vera Cruz, or Mexican or Spanish
doubloons. AT Vera Cruz get draft on this city
or Guadalaxara. A premium is generally paid upon
drafts drawn on either of these places South
American doubloons are worth from SIS to $l5 80
only. No person should leave the United States to
travel by this route with less than five hundred dol
lars; seven hundred is not too much by long ways.
The news from California is very flattering. |
think the time now at hand when a trip to Califor-
MIA will be an every day occurrence. Should the
Tehuantepec route be finished, that, think, will
be the best and speediest at present, we can go
from Vera Cruz to San Bias in fifteen days. Rough
ing il is the order on this route, particularly from
Guadalaxara to San Bias, where travel on horse
back the roads not being fit for carrages.-!M,Jls
