matte relations with the new oficials which may
lead to some trouble but must result In establishing
the principle laid down BY our Consul, General Paul
Frank. The AFFAIR stands thus:-Messrs. Warren,
Tnson q Co., an American hrna wanted to exchange
some Mexican dollars for itzboos (the currency OF
Japanh and went to the Custom House to obtain
them, as usual, and was there informed that they
would make the exchange at the rate Of 21 boos for
500; they refused to make the exchange on those
terms as the rate established by the treaty Is
81 7S-100 boos, less two per cent for coinage,

to communicate with the officials on the subject.
Win his usual prOmptnesS the Consul went with
one Of the frm and waited on the officials and was
received by them ut the entrance Of their ONCE who
wanted to enter upon the subject there To this the
Consul dsmurred and asked why he was kept stand

pursuance Of his determination he has instructed the
captain OF the American bark Dispatch, which ar

cargo without any reference to the officials.
This will doubtless cause some buzzing among
