OTTAWA, May Sin the House last night,
Sir O. T. Hncks said week ago in making
his financial statement he anticipated the pos
sibility OF having to make a change in the Can.
adian tariff on account of the tariff changes of
the United States. The government had
learned that the President last night signed
the bill making important tariff changes, to OPP
crate from July next, repeating the duties on
tea and coffee. The Canadian government
therefore proposed that from the lst of July
next, the duties on tea and coffee imported To-
to the dominion should be repealed. He gave
notice that on Friday next he would move for
permission to do so. Grave inconvenience had
followed the uncertainty prevalent for months
in the United States as to what would be done
with regard to those articles, but the Canadian
government designed to prevent anything of
the kind here, and hence the promptitude of
the government decision Of its policy.

complete revolution in the general treatment Of

HEADQUARTERS, IREVINO S FORCES,
REYNosA, May 9Th.
A visit to this camp shows the cause Of the
failure to attack Matamoras Whatever the
original force OF Trevinos army was, he has
now only eleven pieces of artillery seven hun
dred infantry and four hundred cavalry. The
rest have deserted and are scattered. His
army is completely demoralizcd aud destitute
The majority Of his officers are shoel less and dis
mounted, their animals being unable to walk.
The men without pay or food are stealing and
begging The country is cleaned Of horses,
cattle and small stock and the whole army Is
afraid of Cevallo's pursuing. Should the gov
eminent forces appear, Trcvno army would
dissolve and abandon their wagons, artillery
and everything, 1t is evident that Trevino
never intended to ATTACK Matamoras He
was told that the national guards there
would open the city to him, and when
undcceived he retired. Trevino says Juarez
is certain to be overthrow by this or
another revolution. There is no confidence be-
tween the officers and men Of the revolutionary
forces, and no basis as to the exaggerated re-
the interior The truth is there is no force
of any magnitude there being only small
bands in various States preying on the people.
Inc uulVeIsil OplulOn among luc lcdueIS lcle
is that Diaz is dead and that the report of his
being at Jaisco is untrue Nothing is known
of the government operations in the interior.
There are no signs Of force coming hither.-
From present appearances the government
with 2OOO troops could pacity the northern
frontier Many commissioners from the lutte
rior are here They expected to buy arms
after Matamoras was taken aud they regard
the failure as death blow to the revolutionary
cause. Trevino, with his troops, has just
started for Camargo He says he will await
CevaIlos there, but he will doubtless 90 on to
