Sonora and Mexico Affairs.

Our latest Guaymas dates are to May IS. J. s. Quioga and A. Armada, So- nora members of Congress, had just left for the City of Mexico. They had instructions from their constit- uents to labor for aid to a railway through Sonora to Arizona; for a subsidy of S250O per voyage for a steamer once in thlrty-five days from San Francisco, and for a liberal transit privilege through the State into American territory. It Is feared that without the transit privilege, even the subsidy will not insure permanency of uips, such is the depressed condition of business. A general disirust again prevails as to the permanency of peace in the State. The Mayo Indians are reported as being in half rebellion and that they had killed some people along the river
 Gen. I. Pesqueira was still at the City of Mexico and we'll received by Diaz and his cabinet. The race be- tween Serna and Mariscal for Cover nor was regarded uncertain, though the latter seemed ;o be most favored.
