Address Of Santa Anna 10 the PeO-
pie Of Mexico.


New YORK, June 4.-An address from
Gen. Santa Anna to the people of Mexico
is published here this morning. The Gem
eral defines his position in reference to the
presentaspect of Mexican politics and the
reports Of his trucking to Maximilian.
He did not in any measure compromise
himself with the Empire. lie belonged en-
tirely to the Mexican Republic. lie eX-
poets all MeXicans to unite and drive the
usurpers from the soil, and offered his own
services to the cause. A monarchy in Mex
leo he declares to be an impossbilty, and
the restoration of the Republic is the
height Of his ambition.
Mexican AdVices.
The Herald's Mexico correspondent SAYS:
The Imperial Government will not be
abandoned without fierce struggle, the
French element in the army being so small
that their Withdrawal will not leave the
Republics any better off than they were
before.
The Spanish -Chilian War.
1t is reported oil wells in Tehuantepec are
yielding enormously.
Venezuela advices of the 9th of May
state that the Caracas Congress had adopt
ed resolutions to unite with Peru and Chilli
in the war against Spain. The President
vetoed the resolution, and certain classes of
the population commend vigorous attack
on the Spanish Legation at Caracas. A
couple of large loans had been negotiated
for with European parties.
A Wholesale Business.
series of daring burglaries and robber-
les have been going on in the villages of
Long Island during the last few weeks
Twenty burglaries have been committed at
New Town, on the Flushing railroad, in
that time. Fort Hamilton, Jamaica and
other towns have been extensively plum
dered. Dennis Sulivant, who killed Tom
Burns, has been arrested on suspicion of
being engaged in this business.
Consolidation of Ihe American and
Western Union Telegraph Com
pahieS.
New York, June l4.-The American
and Western Union Telegraph Companies
are about concluding an agreement of
union which amounts to consolidation of
Interests. The public demand for prompt
and uninterrupted transmission of mes
sages renders it indispensable to get rid of
all delays in checking and booking from
one line to another. The new consolida-
ton will control and operate over one hum
dred and four thousand miles of telegram
wire, covering all the territory and con-
Meeting all points of importance from New
FOundand to San Francisco and Van
couyer's Island. From the latter point
line l4OOO miles to st. Petersburg,
will be done within year. Cuba
and the West Indies will be con-
nected, and the success of the Atlantic
cable in August is confidently hoped for
1t is to be regretted that the telegraph
business cannot have the lively stimulus
and restraint that so favOrably affects every
other; but at least i've attempts within the
last fifteen years by men of energy and
large capital to build up and sustain an OPP
position, have signally failed. When the
United States Telegraph Company had ac-
quired over 10000 miles of lines. the public
looked for the fruits ofoppositon in the re-
duction of rates; but the rates had To be
twice advanced to enable the business done
to support two companies instead of One.-
The formidable opposition being COM
PEELED at last TO succumb, and to
sell out at loss, the question
seems settled for the present that Telegraph
business will not yet bear competition, and
against the immense advantage Ofthis COM
bnation it would be rash to ATTEMPT it.
One company can do all the business, and
do it cheaper than two can, for two organ
lzatiOns, with duplicate OF officers aud
employees, must double the expense of doing
the aggregate business, and the customers
must be taxed to meet the doubled expen-
SEES. Let enlarged views govern this NAM
moth corporation, and let them serve the
public promptly, courteously and as
cheaply as they can afford, and the
press and public will be satisfied.
Financial.
The Commercials money article says:
Under the expectation of large shipment
of gold on Saturday, the premium has
strengthened. The shipments will proba-
bly, reach two or three millions. The gem
eral impression is that the premium will
reach SOC.
The continued inactivity in the stock
market has caused a downward tendency.
Erie fell off l26c. Cleveland & Pittsburg,
however, rose &c. Governments steady but
quiet. FiveTwenties of 1862 are lac bet
ter, closing at the board at 1929.
There is very little movement in the loan
market. Call loans are made mostly at 8
per cent. Discounts are moderately active.
On paper the rate is 5@51s per cent. for
specialities, and 5la@7 Tor prime names.
