The reduction of the tariff Is necessary, ana douo'

disregard It. To reinforce the legatar now in Mafamo

The Foreign Ministers have protested collectively
against the inequality Of the tariff, requiring thar II De
made equal or that time be given the merchants to pay
the duties The Minister Of Relations replied, IN SUBJ
stance, That Mexico could not, nor did she otter TO
foreigners any guarantees, nor rights than those

The Tehuantepec business is done with for the pres.
ert The fears of Mexico have been excited, and pub.
lie opinion against it. Should it not be presented 6y
the sth instant for ratification by Congress, It must hall
through be applied for again Mr.. Letcher perceiv-

has thought proper to have it presented. Urless
something be done by the United States to appease the
fears and suspicious of Mexico they not OBTAIN the
right of way across Tehuantepec. Mexico will not give
10 leagues of land If any each side OF the road 70
any foreign company. There must be an abandonment
of an armed force Of the United States and should not
wonder Of any other treaty be cOnsummated tor this
business) if they would require guarantee by other
powers that the integrity OF the Republic be preserved
connected with this treaty and matter how inbound
ed and unjust this may and certainly does appear 1t
will be difficult to eradicate it. Americans have power
full enemies at work here against them.
The Minister of Relations has written long expose
stating the why the Garay treaty should not be
recognised This sent, accompanied by circular,
from the Minister TO each OF the Foreign ministers-
The end proposed in this exposition Is, accordIng 70
the Mnister to demonstrate to the friendly powers the
injustice of the charges made against the government
o. Mexico, accusing of having failed in its promises
The Minister'S first is that the privilege con-
coded to Garsy had become forfeited he having tailed
to fulfil his part of the contract ID That the extension
of time granted him in le6 by Saas was Illegal because
at that time the Constitution of 1924 prevailed 81 Ihat
the cession of the privilege OF the road to Macintosh
and others without the consent of this Government was
illegal 9Th That the grant for the road was not coded
BY Garay Macintosh but only the privilege OF colo
nizng tie lands ten leagues each side of the Rio
Goatracealcos. 9Th That the road was purely ma
,ional work, therefore could not be legally coded by
Garay 70 foreigners That the cession by Garay to the
house OF Macintosh was made clandestnely and was
never acknowledged legal by Mexico, but quite the
contrary. .
And r ally the Minister says, that diplomatic in
tervenop can have place with respect TO any losses
that may have accrued to any foreigners In this business
because by TIE terms OF the privilege TO Garay was
stipulated that all foreigners who should become inter-
esed In any way should renounce during the time all
their rights as czers OF foreign countries renouncng
all rights of protection from their respective countries
and submit themselves entirely to Mexican laws 20 ne
exclusion of all other Intervention uhateU might De-
