mountains of the eastern department,
with it is said, about 400 followers,
mostly colored. Martinez Campos is
still actively moving from one district
to another, as if the campaign was still
in full force. A short time ago he was
at Santiago de Cuba, where he was re-
ceived by the Cubans and Spaniads with
great demonstrations of jubilee, and is
now expected as far west as Colon.
Although there are still rumors afoat of
new risings of small bands circulated by
disconnected persons, there is no doubt
that an earnest desire for peace pervades
all classes of Cubans.

press there severely attacks Mr.. Foster,
United States Minister The French
journal began. and the Mexican news
papers follow. They declare that Eos
ter is an obstacle in the way of settling
the difficulties between Mexico and the
United States, and the charge that he is
actuated by personal motives. La Lib
ertdd, semi-offcial sheet, asserts that
when the Washington Government has
recognized President Diaz, the latter
will demand that Foster be recalled.
The IWo Republics, which always sup
ports the Mexican Government, defends
the American Minister, and expresses
disgust at the attacks made upon him.

throw the Mexican Government into

States. They fear commercial treaty
will be made with the United States,
which would be injurious to their in
erests, as all the commerce OF Mexico
is now in European hands

An associated press dispatch from
military headquarters at Chicago states
that information from Fort Walsh con-
firms the recent story of large con-
federation of hostile Indians in that
vicinity. Sitting Bull and Spotted Eagle
have been reinforced by lodges from the
Missouri River agencies, including Red
Clouds and it is now estimated that there
are from 5000 to 1000 warriors within
a hundred miles of Fort Walsh Some
of these bands have been seen by
Miles scouts. The savages are very
restless, and are under constant sur
veillance of the too limited force of
Canadian mounted police, who evident
ly anticipate some trouble At coun-
Gil the last week in February,
the Indians then resolved to resist the
buffalo law, and Sitting Bull counselled
moderation toward Canadians. The
force is well armed and equipped, and
could probably be augmented to 10000 Z
men, in which case a vigorous summer
campaign would be probable.

A Philadelphia dispatch of March 26
says a fire broke out on the third
floor of the paint shop and drying
warehouse Of w. III. Wainpole & Co.,
on Fourth street, above Arch. There
was strong wind blowing, and the fire
