Advices from the City of Mexico state that negotiations are in progress between Mexico and Guatemala. There is every hope of pacific settle ment, Guatemala's envoy, De Leon, | is a most conscientious worker and hopes to bring about pacific settle ment. He says he has great hopes of success and is ably seconded by For eign Minister Mariscal, who like his government, is imbued with spirit of peace. The only war talk heard is by foreigners and foreign news papers that arrive, containing more sensational news than was ever heard there. The government of Mexico, so as to be prepared for any emergency, is leaving no stone unturned. Judges, lawyers and law students have or ganized themselves into species of national guard and are drilling daily. X well-planned attempt at whole sale iail delivery at the City Of Mexi- co has been thwarted by Col Simon Santaella, warden of Bclem prison. Suspicious were aroused some days ago and, by search of the depart ment assigned to the night school, the discovery was made of a monster tunnel close to the loor of the school room. After cutting through the foundation upon which rests the walls of the gallery where the condemned are confined, the subterranean pas sage continued forty yards, perforat- ing the walls that lodge the hundreds of prisoners that are awaiting trial The engineering feat which has mis- carried, in few days would have re- leased 5000 criminals, as the tunnel had been planned to pass under all de- partmentS of the prison, so that it could have been reached by digging a foot beneath the floors of the various wards.
 The amount of American capital go- ing into the City of Mexico and the surrounding country, where the best of investments may be had is wonder full. Tue Mexican government offers every reasonable inducement for American capital to go there. Many Americans are buying up coffee lands In one day ninety Americans arrived, all anxious to make fortunes in rais- ing the little green bean. Recently President DiaZ issueda proclamation lcyying a tax on land. Previous to that time the only taxes levied for the maintenance of the government were on those engaged in mercantile pursuits. The result of this is that the owners of haciendas, sOmeOf them embracing hundreds of thousands of acres of the choicest of lands. are en- smalling their possessions in order to reduce the tax which in many cases will be enormous J.
