.LOOES VERY like WAR
Signs Of Active Preparation in
Mexico = The Official
Correspondence.

ST. LOUIS. Mo-, Feb. u, 1s95.-A spec
ial TO the "Globe-Democrat" from the
City of Mexico says that "Diario Ofiici-
al the Mexican official daily, this week
begins the publication of the official corr
respondenee between Mexico and Guate-
mala over the threatening International
boundary dispute. The correspondence
is very voluminous extending over a
number of years and is given peblica-
ton by the Government for the pur-
pose of allowing the Mexican people to
judge of the merits of the case accord
ing to their individual tastes.
Don Manuel Romero Rubo, Secretary
of State, leaves this week for Vera Cruz.
The late presence on the Gulf Coast of
General Petero Hinojosa, Secretary of
War, and OF General Felipe Berriozabai,
Senior Commander of the Mexican Army,
added to the impending visit of Minister
Romero Rubio, has given rise to the re-
port that there is something of exception
al Importance brewing in that direction.
The Mexican gunboats Independents and
Libertad are coasting up and down the
east coast, and Il is held that the gov
ernment has It's hands on two good mer-
chant vessels, which will be armed and
equipped for the transportation OF troops
and supplies to the South when occa-
sion demands. The armed corvette Lar
agoza, is lying. conveniently at hand in
the Harbor of Acapulco for similar
purpose The boats Will all operate in
common in the event of war. The gulf
vessels will cary troops from Tampico
and Vera Cruz to Costzaccaloos, the
eastern terminus of the .Tehuantepee
Government Railway, whence they can
be rushed across the Isthmus in a few
hours to Salina Cruz, the Pacific ter
minal of the road, where they will be
picked up by the zaragoza and Oaxaca,
plying at present in Pacific waters. These
additional forces, with those already on
the Southern frontier, operating together
can easily execute a joint movement
upon Guatemala, which will make things
interesting to say the least, around the
southen Capital; The daily drills Of
volunteers for the Guatemalan war ar are
gaining steadily in numbers in this Capt.
tai and throughout the Bepubhc.

boat was weighted down to an alarming
degree and all hands wer put to work
chopping the ice from her decks and
rigging and day and night this work had
to be continued. On Thursday, Febru..

An Ggl lamp ExpIodes and Wraps
the Cradle in Flames.

An OIL lamp Expiodes and Wraps
the Cradle in Flames.
Ten-months-old Annie Mylott, of No.
17I1k York street. died in terrible agony
this morning at her home from the
effects of burns sustained by the eX-
plosion of an oil lamp last night. The
child lay asleep in cradle in the sit
ting room when the explosion occurred.
The burning fluid was scattered about the
room in all directions. Some of it fell
on the. light covering of the cradle, and
in an instant she was enveloped in
flames.
Her father Redmond. was SO badly
frightened by the explosion that he ap-
parently forgot about the child's dan
ger. He ran into the street and gave an
alarm, and then returned to the room
and was extinguishing the flames when
he discovered that the cradle in which
his daughter slept was enveloped in
flames.
A terrible sight met his gaze when he
had eXtinguished the burning covers.
The babys face. arms, legs and body
were burned and in some cases scorched
other Her agony distracted her parents.
Dr. Gray was summoned, and he at
once declared that death was only a
question of a few hours.
Morphine was administered In large
quantities, and the child was kept under
the influence of the drug Y.tl death re-
lieved her sufferings.

announced the arrival of the ship. Those
inside the dock shed took up and re-
peated the cheer although they could not
see anything but q sea of heads with silk
hats and plumed bonnets in front OF
them.
The crowd which by this time had
filled the big space in front Of the pier,
took up the cheer, and for blocks peo-
nle stood on tip-toe. climbed on trucks,
and when at last they saw the black
hull and tall tunnels OF the liner through
the fog of tug-boat steam, they began
yelling end waving their arms and acting
as though bereft of their senses.
The fortunate men who wer on the
pier went frantic with excitement when
the big bow losned up at the end of the
pier, The French section of the crowd
out-did all others in gesticulating, talk
ing at a mile minute gait. and hugg-nS
each other for joy when they recognized
familiar face among the passengers
who crowded on the rail.
When of the pier three tugs whose
proffers of assistance had been declined
all the way up the bay We're permitted
to take lines and warp the ship into
berth alongside the dock.
Then the crowd on the end of the pier
made a wild scramble for places at the
middle gangway. Pretty girls climbed
upon boxes and stood tier after tier until
the place was like an improvised amphi-
theatre A man with big silk American
flag mounted the highest boxes and waN-
ing it, led the cher.ng as the ship was
warped to her BERTH
It was 1l:S0 when she was in place.
Captain Baundelon stood by the gangwaS
on the main deck and directed things
The crowd hailed him with three cheers
and then some one asked, What is the
matter with Baudelon?"
There was a mighty response, Hes
all right"
The gang plank was in place at 14o,
and the Captain himself was the first
man to land. He was enveioped in
big fur-lined coat and wore fur cap.
He got cheer after cheer as he walked TO
the pier. After him came the passen-
gers, and then pretty girls hung about
the necks CT sturdy Frenchmen. and as
an emotional scene nothing presented by
Sara Bernhard would compare to that
enacted on the pier.

certain special processes The principle
is that Of making a sort of a nap on the
yarns. This is done automatically. Or
