Hostility tI Americans at ssUaymas.

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. PA dispatch from
Tucson to the DCi'y star, to be published TO-
morrow morning, says: A gentleman just
arrived at Guaymas informs US that bad blood Is
brewing at that place between the MexicanS
and Americans. A new paper. called the monitor
Gei Co1H2erCiO. has been St4.t cd and 1t violently
attacks the railroad colnnany and Is insulting
10 all Americans The editor and author OF the
insulting articles was lately challenged sue
ceSssively by different Americans to NOR
e6itor charges that the railroad COM
parry is working without any approval
OF their concession: that the only order Issued
by the Mexican government is Gne admitting
material for the road at the custom house free
CT DUTY; that the officers OF the company in
Guaymas have started a town called New
Quay mas district, two miles from the Old town,
and have laid out streets and chrStened them
with American names, all OF Which the MeXicanS
Claim Is not only contrary to their laws. but is
especially insulting to them, and WILL In case
the plan OF the new town is carried out, ruin
Old GuaymaS, as all the trade and COM
nlerce will go to New Guaymas. They
also make charges that their own agent, Col.
Moreno the engineer appointed by the Mexican
government to act In concert With Mr. Morley,
the agent OF the company, alleging that besides
the salary paid him by the railroad company
s40O per month-they have given him valtla-
BILE contract for grading portion OF the road
thus making him, body and SOUL the instru-
ment OF the railroad company. These are a
few OF the charges rung out by the newspaper.
The Mexicans at the port of Guaymas are eX-
cited. and at Hermos1llo alarmed When the
stage left the latter place 1t was reported that
agents OF the company had applied to the gov
ernor OF the state for guarantees for protection
to life and property. The Americans at Quay
mas are inclined to believe that trouble may
arise. Our informant met at Hermosllo an
employe OF the company who had given up his
position and left GuaymaS On that account.

Knew the republicans more thoroughly united
or better satisfied with a nomination than With
that OF Garfield. There are no defectionS, he
continued, amongst the German voters, and
there is little If any doubt OF twelve or thirteen
republican congressman being elected. Mr.
Delnison was not so confident of the result in
Indiana, but he still thought the republicans
chances very good there, on account or the pop
ularity of Garfield and widespread dislike for
English in that state.
