Inter from Mexico.


By the arrival of the Fanny, from Vera Cruz,
we have received our files Of papers from the city
of Mexico TO the 22d ult.
The Trait d. Union remarks that Aristas ad-
ministraton 20 far, has not realized the bright an
ticipations that were formed at its commencement.
Doubts are expressed OF the frmness Of the PresI'
dent. IL is said that fayOrite, a kind OF Mars
de Palais," exercises a controlling influence in
public affairs, while avoiding all responsibility for
their acts.
The subject of the recent diplomatic nomina-
tons made by the President is soon to come be.
fore the Senate, when warm discussion is an
ticiPated.
The opposition to these nominations is based
on the assumption that they are unnecessary,
and that the state Of the treasury does not justify
the increased expense which will be entalled
on it.
Sehor Facio, the present Minister to England,
has been retained in that office. Recent events
have decided the Government in the step and 1t
is said that Senior Payne, for whom the office was
intended favored the decision.
The Siglo says that Payne has accepted the
Office of Secretary of Legation.
1t seems that the Government OF Mexico Is
taking steps for the preservation Of order. We
notice an order from the Minister of War prohibit
ing officers and employees of Government to muir
mur, or any way speak i'll Of the existing suthorl-
ty or Of the Government. He proposes beside to
deprive the army of all civil rights. Two circu-
lars have recently been issued from the w af De-
partment-one providing for the severe punish
ment OF all officers attached to gambling esta5-
lisbments, and another declaring that every re-
tired officer, or officer on leave, that may behave
disorderly, shall be Immediately dismissed from
the service.
Congress has declared unconstitutional an act
Of the Legislature Of Queresaro, introducing the
Jesuits into that State and also the act OF the lie
gisature of Sonora, granting an extensive tract Of
land TO GaraY and others.
The situation Of the State Of Durango is said to
be most distressing. The Indians have taken
possession of the high road leading from Mazatlan
TO the mines The State Treasury Is empty, and
the people are discouraged.
Col Peralta, a Guatemalian refugee, has been
arrested at Oajacs, on charge OF having partlcl'
pated in the recent rebellion in that State.
Aguascaientes is again agitating to be admit
ted into the I Mon as q separate State. At pres.
ent she forms part of Zacstecas, and contains
population Of $4,000. Aguascalientes is the only
one Of the departments formed by the law of
June 3Oth, 1888, that is not now an independent
State.
5r. Vale, editor Of the NoticiOsO at Puebls, hav.
ing been arrested for expressing some Of his po-
htica sentiments little too freely, has been sem
fenced TO six months solitary confinement. An
editor has poor chance in Mexico.
Jose Maria Esteoa, OF Vera Cruz, has obtained
the privilege Of constructing railroad from Vera
Cruz 10 Medellin.
Agapito Garcia Davila has been elected Gov.
ernor Of New-Leon.

The Sentinel says that the notorious outlaw,
Kellogg is again at his old tricks lev days
since, be in company with party of eight others,
inside his appearance near ReyDosa, and robbed 4
farmer OF about hundred head Of horses and
mules The scoundrels, with the exception oil
Kellogg, were all masked, bat were recognized TO
be mixed party OF Mexicans and Americans
They are said to have compelled the unarmed &C.
cuuanis Of the rancho 20 herd the stock for them,
and then coolly drove them off A party of citl
zeus Immediately organized and started in pur.
suit. -,.e.
About eight months since party OF California
entrants was robbed and murdered near the Rio
GrRnde, IL appears that one OF the persons en-
gaeed in the affair has met it'll just retrbunon
This rufiian had been some time imprisoned In
Camareo, on evidence OF crime lodged by ms
neighbOrs Of the rancho Las Cuevas. Upon ms
liberation, he returned to a place near the scene
of his former crimes, known as Los PortFeros,
where he circulated threats OF vengeance against
bis accusers hch led TO bis being hrst shot from
his horse aud afterwards suspended 70 the limb OF
neiehboriug tree by the neck, and IN that coodi.
ton left. as a warning to others. The Sentinel
says: .cc.
hardy Mexican farmers OF the opposite bank thus
prompt in Kidding themselves OF such bandits,
who impose upon their hospitality, rob them OF
their substance, and from association INK them
selves in the sus piciOn Of crime Such suspicion
has for long time been attached to the inhabi-
tsnts of Las Cuevss. Within the past three years
we have heard Of near a dozen roboeres IN that
vicinity but this last act of theirs shows that at
least there are some of the inhabitants who do
rot couutenance the robber and the murderer.
Such acts az they have Just done II persevered IN
by the people of both sides, would soon rid the
valley Of the outlaws who have so long infested It,

From the Rio Grnndn.

From Inc n. Q. Picayune, l4th
By the arrival Of the steamship Fanny, Capt.
NcCeren, we have received Brownsville papers
to the 4th.
The Sentinel says that by the arrival of the Cor.
vette, from above, report had been received to
the effect that few days before, 300 Indians had
crossed the bio Grande from Mexico into Texas.
Information Of the crossing of the Indians was sent
from Camargo 70 Capt. P. Dowd, of Rio Grande
City, and BY him TO the commandant at Fort Ring
gold. Upon the receipt Of this news detachment
oftwenty men, mounted infantry, was sent out to
ascertain the truth Of the report. Up to the time
OF the departure Of the Corvette the scouting party
had not returned.
Two citizens, man and boy, hexicans, were
killed some ninety miles above Brownsville, and
large amount OF property carried of.

FATAL AFFRAY.-A slip from the Office Of the
Norfolk Herald furnishes an account Of q serious
ARRAY between some sailors belonging 10 the U.
8. steamer Susquehsnna and the keeper of drink
Ing shop, named Cooper, which took place on
Tuesday last. There bad been some officially
between the parties during which Cooper drew
DIRK, and sailor fred gun at him. Upon this
cooper ran away and took shelter in shop near
by; while concealed there the sailors passed by,
and rom their conversation he gathered that they
were on their way to his house, AMI intended 70
hill him If they caught him.
After they had passed on, he procured three
fowliDg pieces which he loaded and took home
with him. The sailors had in the mean time takeu
possession OF bis house; bat wishous making any
show Of violence. Cooper. however, deliberately
discharged all three OF the guns at them and as
they retreated into the yard reloaded and fred
them again.
Three of the sailors. viz. John Walsh, Robert
McGee and Samuel Reed were mortaiy wound
cd, and Samuel Shannon severely but not danger

The Treasury Departmental Report Con-
fradtcted.

A special dispatch to the Philadelphia Inquire
says the report that the Secretary OF the Navy
has been appointed Secretary Of the Treasury, al
interim is a mistake. The report probably arose
from the fact that claim for interest on certain
Florida claims OF 1912 is before the Treasury De-
partment, involving nearly million Of dollars.
Mr. Corwin, as counsel for the case before his sp-
pointment as Secretary, gave an opinion on its
merits, which from delicaoy precludes him from
deemed proper that q member of the Cabinet
should pass upon the case and for that purpose il
has been in contenl plation by the President TO
appoint Secretary Graham. who is lawyer Sec.
rotary of the Treasury, I'D interim, TO dispose oil
it, Mr.. Hodge. the Assistant Secretary OF the
Treasury, will continue, during the indispostlon
of Mr.. Corwin to act as Secretary, unless MI
Graham should be appointed for the above specln0
purpOae.

MAIL ROBBERY.-Fo" 'e~-e a'""sh' i"'" 20"
siderable sums of money have been lost passing
through the U. S. Mails, upon the mail routes in
Cattaraugus and Anegany Counties in this State,
most of the letters being addressed to firms and
individuals in this City Many of the lost letters
contained remittances in drafts, checks, &C., and
some of them had no Enclosures OF value. One OF
the Special Agents OF the Post Office Department
Mr.. Holbrook, was sent by the Postmaster Cen
eral TO investigate the matter, and search for the
depredator, and we are gratifed to learn that he
has fastened all the robberies upon Clerk in the
Post.OHice at Belfast, Anegany Co, by the name
of Sumner Willard a son Of the present Pos1maS-
ter at Belfast. Among other evidences OF his
guilt, q $50 bank note, known to have been mailed
some weeks since at Rushford, for firm in this
City, was found upon his person. Another oil the
stolen letters contained $50. and was addressed
to the Editors OF The Neo. York Tribune. VIII
lard, we learn, has been arrested, and is to be
taken before U. s. Commissioner Boyce, at Utica.
we will thank the U. s. officers TO "burry
up" some other sums belonging to us lately alb
stracted from the Mails Of that vicinity-among
others, one of $50 mailed at Randolph. We pre-
sumo this Willard knows where it has gone
