MEXICAN MATTERS.

CITY OF MEXICO, Dec. IA The Mexican
government is beginning TO realize the
necessity of navy, and the present con-
gress will take some important steps to-
ward securing the accomplishment OF the
new movement. The lack of national
navy in Mexico has been due principally to
the absence of harbor facilities. This i'm.
portant defect is to be overcome as rapidly
AS possibe Congress has voted an appro-
priation of s., ,064 coo to be expended this
wear on improvements on the harbor Al
Vera Cruz. A heavy appropriation has
also been made for improving the haroors
at MaZatlan and Coalcavatos. The work
of securing deep water at Tampico has
been practically concluded, greatly to the
satisfaction Of the Mexican government.
It is learned from an authoritative
source here that the Mexican government
will present petition to the United States
government asking that the Apache In
dians, which now occupy reservation IN
Arizona, near the Mexican boundary, be
removed to greater distance from the
international border, 1t is claimed that
the near presence of the Apaches to Mexl-
can territory necessiuates continuous
watchfulness on the part of the Mexican
military and civil authorities to prevent
raids from being made into this republic,
and that the removal of the warning
tribe to reservation situated furChet IN
the interior of the United States could be
accomplished without difficulty.
SAN LUIS POTosI, Mex, Dec. 1.-THE
terrible ravages of typhus fever in this

death rate during the past week over that
of The previous seven days. A cure for the
fever which was prescribed by Father
Jose Ortis of the city of Mexico, is being
used with remarkable success on those
who can be induced TO take it. This
remedy is a drink made by pounding
spiders of a certain species to a pulp, a
little pure water being added to the paste.
Convalescence sets in within six hours,
and the patients recovery is very rapid.
Father Ortis obtained this remedy from
the Indians of Oaxaca. The spiders used
are of the variety known here as the
Aranus capultas.

BLAINE'S ILLNESS.
An Alarming Report as to the Condition Of
the Patient,

NEW YORK, Dec. 15-The following
special from Washington has been re-
ceved:
James G.. Blaine is now on his death
bed. The streDgth-sapping malady from
which he has suffered so long has assumed
a form which warns the family and friends
of speedy termination. The disease at
tackled the lungs short time ago, and its
course has baffed the skill of the ply
sicians. The visit of DR.. Janeway of New
York to Mr. Blaine is indicative of the ex-
treme anxiety of the family.
''When the fact became known that Mr..
Blaine's lungs were succumblng to the
ravages of the disease, plans were
laid to convey the distinguished invalid
to Pasadena, Cal, in the hOp9 that the
climate there might enable him to rally.
Mr. Blaine's weakness, however, increased
so rapidly that it was deemed unsafe to
move him.
"There is reason to believe that the ex-
secretary's death may occur any day.
Rev. Father Ducey's visit to the Blaine
residence at this time has caused a belief
here that it is Mr. Blaine's desire to ole a
communicate of the church of which his
mother WAS a member"
WASHINGTON, Dec. livery much
better was the reply given this evening
at the family residence to an inquiry about
the health of Mr.. Blaine.

counters.
Numerous other resolutions were intro
duced one favoring moving the headQuar-
ters 10 Cincinnati.
