These small mounds are pronounced by DR..
Batres to be In material and method of

mids OF the sun and moon at Teotihuacan,
twenty-seven miles from the City of Mexi-
CO. The latter pyramids have interiors of
clay and volcanic pebbles, incrusted on the
surface with light porous stone over
which there was originally a coating OF
white stucco. such as was used for dwell
ings. The largest of Mitla's pyramids is

temple which surmounted the pyramid in

article suggests the Indian temple and it's
pyramidal basement, and if for this temple
a small, dilapidated chapel is substituted,

the Militia pyramid.
Mexican md Egyptian Pyramids.
All Of these structures in Mexico bear
strong family resemblance whether they
are tiny, as at Militia, or monstrous, cover
ing forty-five acres, as at Cholula near
Puebla. In every case they are the founda-
t1ons of temple or palace; whereas the
Egyptian pyramid Is a tomb and nothing
else. The latter rose to an apex; the for
mer was truncated and bore a structure
upon it which was accessible by stair
way. Height was the conspicuous feature
of the Egyptian pyramid; area covered
was that of the Mexican pyramid The for
mer was. as rule, made of stone; the lat
ter generally of sun-dried bricks. But
there are brick pyramids in the old world,
including one near Sakhara, Egypt. Hum

In Cholula pyramid the length of the
base is to the perpendicular height as 8
to L, while in the stone pyramids of Ghizeh
the corresponding proportion is to s. The
former was to be climbed to a surmount-
ing structure like an artificial capitol hill,
hence its grades were rendered easy by
covering an immense area with a compare
lively low mound. The latter was no more
to be scaled than the exterior OF any other
monumental shaft, and it was pushed high
in the air regardless of the steepness of
grade. Cnoiula pyramid is consequently
more than twice as large at the base as
Cheops, the biggest of the Ghizeh pyra-
mids, while it is considerably less than half
as high as Cheops, and very little higher
than MyCerinus, the smallest of the Ghizeh
group.

HAWAII IS EXCITED.
Britain's Demands in the Ashford
Case May Lead 20 Grave
Trouble.

San Francisco,s Cal, June .1.-Ihc
steamer Australia from Honolulu today
brings confirmation of the Associated
press report concerning the demand made
by Great Britain that " olney Ashford be
permitted to return to Hawaii. The
Dole government is very much excited
over the report, but the President of the
little republic is pursuing conservative
course in dealing with the matter. There
is a likelihood of Hawaii calling upon the
United States to extend it's offices in the
dispute.
Col. V. V. Ashford was convicted by
the military commission of treason. The
edge of the outbreak. His sentence was
$1,000 He was then i'll and is still
sick man. After a few weeks "on the
reef the man who had once been promi-
nent and honored in Hawaii was given
suspension of fine and Imprisonment on
condition that he leave the country never
to return 1t was then quite generally
understood that after Il reasonable lapse
of time he would be allowed to come
back on making proper request. In let
tiers to Hawaii regarding British sub
jects mixed up in the revolution and
tried, the Queens foreign office gave
the opinion that though the court-lnar-
tIal was unconstitutional there could be
no objection to any of the cases except
Ashford. 1t was claimed that the evil
dence against him was insufficient. 1t
seems that Col. Ashford has followed
up this point. The understanding is
that the Hawaiian minister of foreign
affairs is preparing an answer to this
