We cannot deny that assertion, but
our party found none. Late in the
evening we returned tn Ssitillo to be
welcomed back by Mr.. Adams, an
attache of the hotel Sau
Estaban, courteous, polite
gentleman, who was delighted
to see us so profuse with blessings for
him for having directed us to the lone

to us.
At Saltillo the cathedral is worthy
of a visit. The images and paintings
are by far superior in execution to any
thing of the kind we haze seen. The
hotel San Estaban is agreat attraction,
rs it is entirely American, a delightful
location, splendid rooms, good tables
and a fountain of splendid water in the
ward. with the stage Office in the same
Building.
The climate here Ia delightful-high
and dry. Saltillo Is $3.50 feet above
the sea. In the spring time snow is
frequently seen upon the tops of the
mountains. which are 3 600 feet higher
than Saltilio, making height OF s.

Hotel San Estaban that an American

paper man sighed for wilderness,
or even deep well to hide
himself in, since a New York paper
drummer would mistake us for a Mex

looked bad, but to be accused of 1T

the newspaper man ventured to eN-
plain that he did not speak English.
