INTERNAL AFFAIRS.
MEXICO, May 10.--In one of my last letters
Iassued you that in view Of the failure of the attempt
AZ revolution varioss parts Of this Republic nothing
was to feared from LOzada in the district OF Tepc
because his actual position is such that he could gain
nothing by successful revolution therefore his only
aim is not to be moested and for this end his policy to
keep well with the winners in these conflicts, providing
they will let hualone in his territory. My assurance
has been verified. when affairs looked gloomy for this
Government In January and February last L0zaua re-
quested the administrator OF the CustOlldouSe IN

in GuadaaiaIa few days ago that he had caused the
