Among tho interior decorations of the chapel
were the captured Mexican flags, and they
were observed by Senior Romero the popular
! Mexic Minister TO the United States. in view
of the friendly feeling now existing between
the United States and Mcxico, it was then aud
there suggested that these flags should be re-
turned TO Mexico Afterward correspondence
was opened between the Mexican Minister and
Secretary Blaine on the subject, which re-
suited in the introduction Of a joint resolution
TO that effect which was passed by the Senate,
as before stated. These flags have been on
exhibition at the Military Academy for quite
a number Of years.
