New YORK, Nov. l0.-The n. Y. Herald's spe-
cisl saws:
Tie rumoFs GU the street. late this evening, that
Senior Romeo, the Mexican minister, had asked for
his passports, with the intention of returning to
his government, can be traced to creditabie
authority, and are supposed to emanate from in
terested parties.
The looked fJr execution of Werz exciting
more remark and occupying the public mind to
much greater degree than dad the hanging of the
conspiIators. This Is probably due to the extend
ed notice gwen Ia this instance beforehand, while
IN the of the former execution scarcely more
than ten hours OF daybg interviewed between the
publishing of the announcement and the appear
ance OF the condemned upon the scafod.
Werz Is said to be in a better condition to-day
than any time during hts confinement. He has
had Onsderable sleep and moderate appetite and
appears TO gain more stamina the hours of his
lie His spiritual adviser, Father Boyle,
with HIM during much of the afternoon and
LETT his cell about 81 5 this evening.
Mr.. Schade also visited him after interview
ofthe latter with President Johnson this morning.
The interview 10 known to have been productive
OF nothing indicate that Werz would be reprIev-
ed though the streets and in the hotels, to-
night, popular belief seems to be gradually and
unaccouutably settling into that conviction.
Mr. johnson is known to have met the petition
of MIR Schade for Communication of the sentence
with kind and attentive regard; but uttered moth
ing a belief that executive clemency will
be exercised in Werz' case nor does Mr. schade
entertain the shadow of such hope.
