INF iArirf ~ BE PHUNED.
City Mexico, March 11.-There is
q strong probability that the custom
tariff just issued. to go into force
July 1st will suffer considerable al
terations. The secretary of the
treasury has informed the chamber of
commerce that its suggestions regard
ing the reduction of duties on certain
articles will receive careful attention.
THAT STENCIL.
II is now stated that the stencil
which infested the city lately has also
been visiting Vera Cruz and Peublo
simultaneously. This causes the
opinion to be expressed that it did
not proceed from the lakes and dead
fish, but was of volcanic origin, reach
ing Vera Cruz from Orizaba or Tux
tia, and Pueblo from Machichean, and
Mexico from Popocaiapel or Ixlac-
chihuatel. 1t is supposed that it was
caused by some combustion of gases
which escaped through the crater and
spread over the land. Strong earth
quakes arc predicted for Mexico.
