Mounted Police.
This is the regular standing army of
Mexico. There is another body, which is
virtually military body, but is under the
direction os the interior department. This
is the corps known as 1.-The Rurales"-a
sort of mounted police that patrol the
country outside of the cities. Lieut.. Dwyer,
the military attache of the American lega-
ton, told me that these Rurales formed
probably the finest body Of cavalry in the
world. They are picked men. every one be-
ing unusually skillfu1 as horseman, even
in this country, where half the people Hive
on horseback. The Rurales wear tawny
leather suits, big Mexican SombreroS, neaVi-
ly ornamented with silver. 2nd besides
their saberS and pistols, carry carbineS.
They have rakish, devil-nay-care appear
ance. 1t is considered quite an honor to be
a member of this troop. When a man joins
1t he has to furnish his own horse, and
give bond for the proper care OF the arms
and equipments supplied him by the gov
ernment
On great public parades the Rurales are
given the post of homer. In reality, though
not now under the war department, they
form very effective and imposing part of
the military force that Mexico could put
in the field. In addition to the federal army
every state has sort of militia organiza-
ton.
The Mexican Indians or half-breeds, who
compose about nine-tenthS of the popula-
tion and from whom the army is recruited
are a patient and hardy people. Many OF
them own nothing in the world but their
zarape and big sombrero. The Zarape is
their cloak by day and their blanket by
night. 1t is said that they can and will go
three or four days without food and not
complain. They are Injured to hardshps
They are 1.-the and active, though of small
size, and are said to be courageous, be-
cause they have little no fear of death.
1t is supposed for these reasons that they
make good soldiers. Santa Annals troops
were starved for two three days before
the battle of Buena Vista. Maybe If they

A CONTEST OF BRAINS.
Joint Debates Between the Columbian
md Georgetown Law Schools.

Joint Debates Between the Columbia n
md Georgetown Law Schools.
intercollegiate events of any nature what
ever always command large measure of
public attention and interest. There is
something engrossing about these con-
tests that every one seems to instnctively
choose a side and support enthusiastically
his choice.
BY those who are connected in any way
with the institutions concerned in the con-
tests these events come to be classed
among the most important in the college
calendar.
Such is the case with the joint debates
between the law departments of Colum-
bian and Georgetown universities.
During last winter the series of debates
drew together on three occasions large au-
dienCes, who listened to very interesting
and eloquent discussions of leading queS-
tions of the day.
Prominent men acted as judges, and their
decisions were waited for with all-absorb-
ing interest by the adherents of the two
sides.
Victory perched npon the blue and gray
banners of Georgetown after each of these
contests, but not a whit discouraged, Co.
lumbian mas again come to the front this
year with a challenge for a second series
of three debates.
The first of these debates will be held in
Metzerott Music Hall Thursday evening.
February %. The committee of arrange
nents is very important factor in the
success of these debates, and the men Sc
lected to represent the two schools are
always those who are we'll fitted by expert
ehce and judgment to manage successfully
the business end of the contests.
This committee consists of four members
from each school, as follows: Georgetown
Law School-Messrs. Charles w. Darr,
Henry X Beck, Joseph l. Weller and w.
H. Wahly. Columbian Law School-Messrs.
Frank f. Gentsch, Selden NJ. Ely, John r.
Fellows, jr., and - Clay.
Charles w. Darr, the chairman of the
Georgetown University committee, and
also chairman of the joint committee of
the two schools has all his life resided in
this city. Although active business
man for many years, he entered the law
department of Georgetown University and
graduated with honor in the class of '4,
and is now a member of the post graduate
class He was president of his class dur
ing his junior year. and enjoys the dis
tinction of being the founder of the de-
batting society of the law department, out
of which grew the present organization.
He is a director in the Lincoln Fire In
surance Company and connected with sew
eral financial institutions as officer and di-
rector.
All the other members of the committee
are we'll known, and hey have been Sc
lected by their law schoolmates because
of their ability to make the necessary ar
ranSements for the coming contest.

THE PEOPLE ANXIOUS FOR War
Officials Think That Mexico Could
Gain Nothing.

STAFF Correspondence of The Evening Star.
MEXICO CITY, January -. 1895.
If popular feeling governed there would
be a Mexican army on the way to Guate-
mala inside of twenty-four hours. There is
a great deal of war talk here, but the pub
lie knows little Of the plans of the govern
meut or of the tenor of the latest dis
patches that have passed between. it and
the Guatemalan government. Abont all
that can be said of the situation is that
the Mexican people are spelling for i fight.
Tuesday ths students of the various Cci-
1eges and educational institutions assem-
bled in the Alameda and marched 20 the
national palace shouting "vivas' as they
marched. They gained access to the pal
ace and soon cverfowed the spacious Am
bassadors' Hail. where President Diaz re-
ceived them. One of their number made
a fiery speech. exploiting the military glory
of Mexico. and at the close presented to
the president an address expressing APP
prevail of the presidents ''dignifed and
energetic attitude in relation to the Guat-
emaIan question and Offering the services
of the students of the capital "in the IN
fortunate case that the question Will have
to be decided by rleans of arms.
Already the several states of the MeXi-
can union have proffered the services OF
troops, and everywhere are signs that the
people believe the insults offered by the
Gratemalan government by ignoring or
transgressing the rights of Mexican citi-
zCns must be wiped out in war. The men
responsible for the government, however,
take more prudent and calculating view.
IL is said they desire to avoid war unless
they are compelled to enter upon one to
save the honor and dignity of the country.
one of the leading men of the Mexican
coEgress, and a soldier. told me that Mex
leo could gain nothing from a war with
Guatemala. The expense of it would have
to be paid by Mexico whatever the result,
as to levy indemnity upon Guatemala,
a country thoroughly versed in the art OF
reputation would be farce.

still, public feeling runs hlgh, ana
declaration of war would be one of the
most popular things the government could
out out from the national palace just now
cEe dispute with Guatemala is one OF long
standing. The Guatemaan government
has as it is claimed here. ignored the
rights. and GUatemalan soldiers have de-
stroyed the property, of MexicanS residing
along the border in territory claimed by
both governments. 1t is asserted here that
Guatemala has flagrantly violated treaty
stfpuIations. and all the laws of inter-
national courtesy.
Confidence In Dinz.
One would not think Mexico could get
much glory from war with Guatemala.
Mexico has a population of 12,0OO,00O. a
standing army of 5000 men on a peace
footing, and 1GJ.OUD men that can be called
into service in case of war. Guatemala
has just onc-tenth of the population of
Mexico. with a standing army Of 5000
men, which might be increas sed, of course
In time or war. There is talk here, how
ever. OF Guatemaia's enlisting the other
Central American states in war against
Mexico There is also talk to the effect
that Guatemala expects support from the
United States. and is more ''bumptious on
account of such expectation than would
otherwise he the case.
The Mexican government is undoubtedly
preparing itself for any emergency. Ships
are being fitted for the transport of troops
and at every army post troops have been
put in readiness for a campaign. 1t is even
said that Gen. Bernardo Reyes of Monterey
has been selected to command the Mexican
fCrccs in the field.
Another statement which has excited
much enthusiasm is that President DiaZ
will himself take command of the troops
Gen. Diaz is considered the best soldier in
tho republic. capable of active service. He

Of a campaign. Diaz is the popular idol

can continue in the presidency as long as

party here, and that is the Diaz party.

THE SUGAR BOUNTY,
The President Thinks Congress Should
AIpIcprinte for at Least Onc-Hulf,

The President gave hearing late yes
terday afternoon to a delegation of busi-
ness men from New Orleans in regard to
the payment of bounties on the sugar crop
of 1894. The delegation was accompanied
by Senators Caffrey and Blanchard and
the views of the delegation We're presented
by Mr.. L. j. Hayden, president of the
Whitney National Bank of New Orleans
In response, the President said that he
could only reiterate the opinion previously
expressed by him that the claim for the
bounty the crop of 1891 was well
founded in equity, and that Congress
should provide for the payment of at least
One-half of the bounty allowed under the
Mckinley law, or an amount sufficient to
make up the difference between the full
bounty and the duty levied by the new
revenue act. He said he was in sympathy
with the objects of the delegation, and
expressed the hope of the success of their
mission to Washington.
