Havana special says: The news from the
capital of Mexico, by the steamer Georgia,
which have been able to gather, shows
that the people were pretty generally
satisfied with the loans negotiated in the
United Statss BY Minister Romero during
the late civil war in Mexico. Their amount
is considered insignificant, and the people
have become reconciled to them, hence
the government becomes stronger as the
agents acts are vindieated. The government
will present bill to Congress, which shall
designate a mode of payment of the outs
standing Mexican bonds, and will also de-
termine what bonds are legitimate. All
loans of the Emperor are repudiated, Con-
gress annulling the elections of certain
members of the body who served the late
Emperor.
The report of a revolution in Durango

Committee have not yet taken up the con-
sideration of the House bill restricting the
