AsIsk,ted in my last, Senor Pacheco, Minister OF
Foreign Relations has rendered his resignation Dut as
vet il has not been accepted by COL PTado. IL Is tne
General belief that PachecO only went through the
form of resigning having been arranged previously
that his resignation would not be accepted Another
serious charge has been made against the Minister OF
Justice Senor Tegeda by Mr.. BOgardus, OF COLLISION
with Barreda and Prado, if the statement made by
Bopagdns be true can only here say what is daily
being repeated by all parties. That more corrupt
set of individuals could not possibly have been got
together than the present members of PTados Cabi-
net and this in country where corruption runs riot
among politicians, is saying great deal That there
is some ground for the accusation that has been
preferred against Barreda, PradO, and Teieda no
reasonable person can doubt from the extraordinary
steps that have been taken by the present Cabinet
ment by subteTfuges that reflect little honor upon
them. and entirely unworthy OF the meaneSt petit
logger at an AldeTman's Court. Mr.. Bogardus, how
ever has determined to bring the matter before
