MEXICO, March 20, 1888.
IL mas now been many days since we have heard
from the world beyond Mexico, and there have been
30 many rumors anoat OF what has probably han.
pened in the United States and of the intentions N
England toward Mexico that we have had our atten
ton drawn from pronurctamtentos and the acts Of
the Congress now in session. 1t is but the truth ca
say that Notwithstanding the rumors which reached
here by the last Spanish steamer from Europe via
Havana that England would take some imme-
diate and decisive means TO enforce the collection
OF the debt due her citizens, the subject is much
less discussed than would naturally be expected.
and the press have rather been engaged in discussing
the kpotty questions OF international character
which may grow out OF the late 'aflar OF the Dam
uoe" and her refusing to tarry In the harbor Of
Vera Cruz until the guns OF San Juan could be
brought to bear upon her. The Diarto 0fcfal has
continued to publish the articles which have ap-
peared In the several papers Of the capital upon tho
subject and 1t is expected that upon the arrival Of
the English steamer day after tomorrow some sort
made. Mr.. Tegada has not as yet made known what
Is the intention OF the government, although Con-
gress by resolution and otherwise has attempted to
compel him to commit the government. In regard
10 the Mexican debt, on the nth OF this month Mr..
Romero made speech before Congress as Secretary
Of the Treasury In which II Is supposed he declared
the policy OF the government far as represented
by the President and Cabinet which was
to pay no interest on the English, Spanish

proposes to amortise their debts continue the pur
chases Of the Spanish and English bonds There was
considerable party in Congress who opposed tho
amortization and who favored the outstanding Of
funds and payment OF interest, but 1t was In the

OF the government, 1t having been voted upon In

TO remove all who are at present In power; 70
