The present administrator Of the
custom house at la AnsenciOn,
Senior Jose LaTroque, has been re-
Gently appointed by the general
government agent in this district.
We are recommended to employ
Ricardo l.. Zuniga, at Deming,
New Mexico, to make out our con-
sular invoices, that errors and fines
may be avoided in the transaction
Of business. The route Of entry into
the Republic will be from Deming,
n. NJ, via this colony to La An
sencion, about IS miles. On arrival
at the custom house, Guillermo
Spence, has been suggested and APP

business and make the proper pa

companies give notice beforehand OF
