Some Recent observations in
Mexico.


Can't E. A Won Burlow has recent
lv returned to San Frauci-co from a
tour through Northern and Central
Mexico. where he was engaged in ex-
plorino feasible route for a rail Dad
from the Rio Grande to Leon and The
Pacific coast. In lengthy conmu
nication in the San Francisco Post,
written BY Won BurlBy, we Gud some
interesting points. He came in con
tact with all classes Of people, aud
found that the wealthy and conserva-
tive classes. including the large land
owners. are in favor of any change of
government which will give them the
peaceabIe possession and enjoyment OF
their property. The politicians are,
on the contrary, continually warning
the people aguinst the United States
and annexation, and are boldly assert
ing that the United States Government
is determined to conquer Mexico.
The German merchants, who control
the greater part of the Mexican trade,
and are very powerful, are opposed TO
railroads. because they will introduce
com petition, and they give Americans
no encouragement to settle in the
country. The intelligent conservative
Mexicans are generally in favor Of
American immigration aud the con
sfruction Of railroads, Tor which Capt.
Won Burow says the country Is ad
mirable adapted. The conservatives
are earnestly desirous of peace. They
know thatihe country will never be
developed until the era of proHuaci
amicatos and pTesfimos Is passed, and
they would support either Lerdo,
Iglesias or Diaz, provided any one OF
them could insure protection aud tran
guilty.
As TO fhe border question, Capt
Won Burlow believes that the raids
will never cease until the boundary is
removed from the Rio Grande to the
slopes of the Sierra Madre mountains
He says:
''No order to any military commander
on tie Mexican side win affect the matter
in any perceptible degree, since he can
not arrest the entire populace living on
or near tie frontier, as they are all inter
ested and subsist on the stolen property.
| will not be wrong when | assert there q
are few people living within $50 miles of
the Rio Grande on the Mexican side but
who are interested in some way or other
in these robberies. Even extensive mer-
camille firms in the frontier towns have
an understanding with the robbers, as
they buy the stolen property very cheap
ly. Even if the Mexican government
shouldline the frontier with troops (which
is an impossibility, as it would require
900 mem, they can not suppress these
robbers, the influence Of the parties

says
Those having the matter in charge are
enthusiastic, and express their confidence
of success. They say that they lately
learned that large number OF migrants
will be enabled to leave here this fall.
They seem to have figured closely on their
route, and have it all laid out. The voy-
age from this city to Monroyia will be a
ten day one, andNGrom that place they
will go by inland water twenty three

Russia Gains signaI Victories

The Russians have gained some sig

week, and are slowly driving their
way on to Constantinople. They claim
TO have captured 5000 Turks IN

The probability of Austria, Italy,
and England, coming TO the aid OF
Turkey, looks more likely, now, than
at any previous time.
The massaeres and atrocities, said
to have been perpetrated on the Chris
iians by the Turks, and by the Rus
,ians on the Mohamedans is enough
TO cause every civilized power to wieh
