Army Likely TO be Remodeled.

Mexico, City, Sept. 10.-Mexico
will be represented at the congress
of hygienists at Denver next month
bv number of the most eminent
nhvsicians, including the famous DR..
Edward Liceaga, whose reputation
as sanitarian and physician is in
ternational. DR.. Miceaga is also at
present urging meteorological iuves-
tigation into the causes of typhus.
Col. Romero's appeal in the duel
case will be heard Oct. ?. Gen.
Rocha has named a new lawyer in
his defense, one who is an expert in
the duelling code.
Saturd Saturnio Islas, director gen
eral of the Federal telegraph, is in
Europe making a careful study of all
improvements introduced there re-
Gently into the government telegraph
lines.
The new bishopric of Campeche
has been created in order to carry on
the work OF converting the rebel In
dams of the peninsula of Yucatan.
Tlrese Indians, according to letter
from the bishop Of Yucatan, are no
| longer exactly idolators, as they wor
ship the cross, regarding it as God.
But it is hopeful to bring them to a
fuller comprehension of the Chris
tan religion.
Gen. Mena, chief of the Mexican
military commission, at present in
Germany, will remain there some
time longer, studying the discipline
and equipment of the German army.
The German authorities have ex-
tended him every facility. 1t is pro-
bable that the Mexican army will be
remodeied on the German plan.
The British minister, Deering, is
giving magnificent entertainments to
the leading Mexican families and in
Guiding in Ris hospitality many dis
tinguished American resident here
There Is much complaint here that
the American minister is not dis
charging the duties of his office.
There is great scarcity of rain in
many parts of Oaxaca and there are
fears expressed for tie crops. The
general condition of crops is good
and Mexico Will have cheap corn
this year. Very little rain has fallen
during dog days and there is much
suffering from intense heat on the
Gulf coast, where yellow fever is
epidemic
The counsel OF the Rowe brothers
is charged with contempt Of court.
The American residents are indig-
nant at the language employed by
certain Iowa papers regarding the
Mexican authorities and the senti
ment is freely expressed that Mexico
would now be justified in not surren
dering the Rowes, but punish them
if guilty of having brought stolen
funds into the country, as the penal
code provides for such cases.
The official bulletin of the statisti-
cal department for May, just out,
shows exports for that month to the
United States were $SSO1,l75, an in
crease over the same month the pre-
vious year of $I,Si6.764. Imports
from the United States are also large
" increased. The Mexican Finan-
cier says the efforts Of American
manufacturers to build up trade with
Mexico are being richly rewarded.

PUERTO PRINCIPE CAPTURED.

PUERTO PRINCIPE CAPTURED.
Havana, September, TO-
There is a report that a great
battle has been fought at Puer-
TO Principe, and that the Span
ish have been defeated and the
capitol captured by the insur-
gent forces.
1t is said that a strong force
of Spanish troops left the city
Of Puerto Principe to make a
bold attack upon the insurgents
who were besieging the town.
The insurgents fled after max
ing a weak resistance, but it
was only to draw the Spanish
into an ambuscade. Once in
trap, the Spanish were attack
ed in the front by General an
tonic Maceo and in the rear by
General Gomez. The rebel forces
obtained a complete victory and
entered the capital triumphant,
$4,000 strong.
How near the truth this state
ment is can not be ascertained,
but General Campos' Immediate
departure for Neuvitas the very
day he arrived here is sugges
tive Of something very serious
having happened.

VICTORY FOR CUBANs.
They Have Surrounded Santa
go and Captured Puerto
Principe.

New York, September 10
The World says: Advices by
special courier from Cuba re-
ceived at the Offices of the Gu
ban ianta in this city are to the
effect that the city of Santiago
de Cuba is completely sur
rounded by the insurgents and
that an attack is expected at
any time.
General Maceo is personally
conducting the siege. For two
weeks he has completely cut off
communication with the inter-
ior. From the shore can be
seen scores of camp fires be-
longing to the insurgent sol
diers on the hillsides. With 4
field glass persons on board
ships in the harbor can readily
see the Cuban pickets and SEN
finels.
Advices have been received
by the patriot representatives
in New York City that an effort
VIII be made to storm the fort
1esses, which defend tie place,
some time this week. They are
advised to remove articles of
value 10 a safe place. 1t is ex-
pected that the assault will be
made at night. The objective
point was the eastern part of
the city, where the main arse
nal is located. In this arsenal
is contained a large quantity of
arms and ammunition which
General Maceo will endeavor to
capture. The arsenal is strong
ly guarded by the Spanish
troops, and, in addition to be,
ing under the protection of the
guns at Moro castle, there is a
strong battery on the shore.

FAST MAIL SERVICE.
tassssssaasssssss
Mr.. Editor.

vi L.
| have heretofore been something
of a skeptic on the bect of rapid transit. and
fast-mail service taking the stories that have
been floating around in the newspapers on these
points with must confess a rather large grain
of allowance. but being reasonable human
being. of course am always open to conviction,
and now wish to state that the possibilities of
fast-mail service have never half been told, or
adequately understood.
AS l write, there lies before me the most con-
vincing proof of what Uncle Sam has accom-
plished in furthering the interests and promo
ting the happiness of the ''dear people, in the
matter of forwarding mail with a hitherto I'M
known speed. The evidence spoken of consists
of an envelope containing an enclosure from a
friend living in city one hundred miles distant
and which, the post-Office stamp. at that place,
shows to have been deposited at that office on
January, 10Th 1895, at 2:3O O'Clock p. m. while
on the reverse side is corresponding stamp
showing that it was received at the pOst-Offc Q
and one half hours before it was mailed at the
point of departure. Idon't believe that the pneu-
matte parcels post of London can beat this
record. And right here there arises to my mind
rather curious mathematical problem which
respectfully refer to the mathematician of the
G. L. S. Q. for solution. 1t is this: AT the same
rate of progress, how long would it have taken
my letter to go around the world, and about how
long before was born would have received It
