MEXICAN NEWS NOTES.
Lower California Not 10 Be Sold TO an Anglo

Cry OF MEXICO, oct. lG.-The sanitary
condition Of the city of Vera Cruz has been
greatly improved and the city is beginning
to fill up with visitors. The port is grow
ing shallower, the new harbor works hav-
ing, according to local opinion, prevented
the securing out of the roadstead by the
winds which formerly swept down from the
north. The new dredge does not come up
to expectations.
Tampico, on the contrary, has become an
easy rort to enter. and the jetties give ex-
ccllent results. The officers of the Central
Railway are greatly pleased with the condi-
ton of the harbor works, and President
Robinson has Just finished tour of in-
spection.
There is no truth in the report of the sale
Of the territory of Lower Califoriil TO an
Auglo- American syndicate.
Col. Neriss revolution in Guerrero has
vanished into thin air, two-thiris of Is fol
