summit of porphyritic rock, and COW
ering the site of the royal Aztec palace.
Whether it was designed for castle or
a palace is still subject for divided
opinion. Just previous to the accession
of Macmillan it was used as a riding
school, but the sadly beguiled Hapsburg
Prince put it in thorough repair, deco
rated the interior elegantly, laid out
pleasan carriageroads, and gathered a
fine collection of works of art. Artificial
gardens, which were the special delight
of Carlotta, occupy many of the corridors,
and are very attractive to the traveller.
Chapultepec is almost entirely en-
powered in a forest of cypress-trees Of
most venerable visage. No one knows
their age. They attracted the admira-
ton of Cortez as long ago as 1920. Their
limbs are bearded with thick, dropping
gray moss. From the towers of the
Halls clear view of the volcano "Popo-
catepetl" may be obtained. Attention
has been called frequently to this famous
place. A party of Spaniards, under
Cortez, descended to the bottom OF the
crater, and company of Americans, in
Guiding Mr.. Conklin, our artist, made
descent about year ago, and barely es-
capped suffocation from the sulphur
fumes. Several members of the party
were drawn out by ropes in a totally in
sensible condition. To the west stands
the celebrated tree of the Noche Iriste,
or "Sad Night" under which Cortez and
his army wept after the first defeat OF
his little force by the Aztecs in 1920, and
the memorial church he built after the
completion of his great campaign.
With all its antiquity, the City OF
Mexico has ever been the scene of revO-
luton. Benito Juarez became President
on the establishment of the Republic
after the expulsion of the French, and at
his death Lerdo de Tejeda, the Chief
Justice, assumed the chief magistracy.
President Lerdo, it is asserted, declared
his unwillingness to accept OF second
term of power, but at the last election he
was reelected, and at once entered upon
his duties, whereupon General Portirio
Diaz, revclutionist of much notoriety,
headed an instruction and for time was
assisted by Jose Marie Iglesias, the
Chief Justice of the Republic. AS soon
as it became apparent that Diaz would
be successful in his march upon the
City of Mexico, President Lerdo fled,
and Iglesias, proclaiming himself Pro-
visional President, revolted both against
the old authority and that of General
Diaz. The latter continued his victorious
march, and the scattering crowds that
had pronounced for Iglesias deserted
him, and he, too, fled, leaving Diaz in
undisturbed possession of the Presidency.
Contrary to general expectation, Diaz
last month collected and shipped to
Washington the sum of 100000, an in
stallment of the claims of our Govern
ment against that of Mexico. At last &C
count Iglesias was in San Francisco, and
the deposcd Lerdo in New York City.
