porter called on the gentleman at the
Windsor hotel, who accorded him a cor
dial reception, and III remarkably good En-
glish he informed the reporter that he
would be pleased to impart to him any
information concerning his country or
trip that would prove Of any service to him.
In appearance he is rather fine looking
man OF some forty or more summers, with
black eyes and hair, the latter somewhat
tinged with gray. He was dressed in neat
suit OF broadcloth, which fit him nicely and

ball. His manner was sauve, and his gem
eral bearing was that OF a highly cultivated
gentleman. He seemed to labor under the
impression that he was not speaking
very good English, and apologized, saying
that he had only studied the language, for
about one year; yet this was unnecessary
as he not only spoke IL well, but pro-
nounced every word he uttered properly.
He lett Monterey last Sunday morning,
and arrived at Laredo, va
the Mexican Central railway. From there
to San Antonio, Austin and Fort Worth,
via the International and Missouri Pacific
roads. This is his first trip TO the United
States, and he expressed himself as vely
much pleased with Texas as country and
surprised at the thrift that greeted him
upon every hand. He said he liked the
people whom he had met, and that he could
not be treated with any more courtesy and
kindness than had been shown
him by the Americans "As /
rode along in the cars from Laredo on my
trip" he said, land marked the fertility of
the soil and noted the thrift scenes brought
about by the enterprising Americans, and
mentally compared them with my own
dear country, and reflected that once the
great state of Texas was part of Mexico,
felt somewhat sad. IL was nearly one half
OF my country and, must confess, the best
half. Our people have no fears of war with
the United States for with the better class
OF my countrymen the kindliest feelings
exist toward this country. There are u
great many Americans in and around
Monterey some prospecting and others
in search of better health, for
the climate and water OF Monterey are very
fine. Since the advent of the Mexican
Central railroad there has been marked
increase in American immigration, as well
as the commerce between the two countries.
The coming treaty between the two repub-
lies is eagerly looked forward to, and the
people OF Mexico expect IL TO open up
liberal commerce and bring prosperity.
The Americans have infused new life into
the country, and have brought with them
many customs, the good effects of which
are already being felt, and among them
Is the cash system OF doing business,
or, AT iarthest, on short time
The Mexican population has caught, to a
certain extent, the fever OF enterprise, and
new life is being infused into them. The
majority OF the lower classes, however,
prefer to live, as much as they can, OIL the
extravaganza OF the incoming Americans,
but this will gradually die out. Now, to
