The event of the week in this city
has been the great banquet rendered
TO, President DiaZ by the Railroad
companies, bankers, importers,agri-
culturists, merchants, capitalists
and others, in recognition of the
way in which the president has
judiciously fostered commerce and
industry in Mexico. Five hundred
covers were laid and a more bril-
liant assemblsge was never seen
in the city. The president was, Of
course, there, as was his cabinent,
leading military officers, ambassa-
doris, :consuls and a large number
of prominent Americans, English
men and Germans,w control the
trade OF this country. The BAN

decorated, in fact seemed to be
regular bower of beauty ;the menu
was grand, the wines par excel
lence and merrier party has rare
ly ever been seen. And there was
more than appeared upon the face
OF it, for all these men Of different

IT INTERESTS US
Cards have been received here
announcing the coming marriage
of Miss Zulema Garcia, San An
tonio's com poser,to Mr.. j. Olsen,
Jr. This is Of interest to many
citizens here to whom the Garcias
and Leafs are related. Among
these is the secretary Of Fomento,
Sr. Don M. Fernandez Leal. Know
ing the contracting parties as l
do / cannot resist the temptation
to offer them my congratulations
on their coming felicity.
OFFICIALS UNDER ARREST.
Some time ago the government
discovered some grave errors in
the postoffice here and as soon as
they were satisfied that the wrong
existed, the secretary of COM
munications, under order OF the
president, appointed two well
known citizens as postmaster gen.
eral and postmaster of the city.
These qualified at once and were
instructed to 60 and relieve the
officers then in charge and to do 1t
instanter. OF course the officers
in charge were surprised but they
could do nothing but yield. Later
in the day the ex-postmaster, Limo
Nava, was arrested and placed in
Jail. Nsva has given hints that
others we're concerned in his
crimes by saying that If he sui.
fered others should suffer with
him. Some real revelations were
expected but all now Is silenced
by death. Mr.. Nava was taken
seriouly i'll and was removed, IN
der guard, from Belem prison to
the hospital Juarez where he died
on Sunday April 5. Now all kinds
of rumors are af1oat. Some think
that he suicided; others that he
was poisoned to prevent him i'm
plicating those, as he said he
would do. To settle this question
the body Is to be exhumed and a
post mortum examination held
upon it. Any way it is quite clear
that many were interested in Mr..
Navs and will not be sorry that
those lips are sealed for ever and
can make no revelation.
PROMPT JUSTICE.
There is no question about it
Justice is melted out in a fair and
impartial manner and promptly.
1t don't matter who you are nor
where you come from, IL you vio-
late the law you have got to toe
the line and explain matters. III
YOU cannot do this to the satisfac-
ton OF a Judge and jury you are
in a bad way and can get ready
for the punishment. 1t is this
principle OF even handed justice
that has made Mexico one OF the
best and safest countries to live
in.
THEY ARE NOT IN IT.
Mr.. Samuel NJ. Gray, who sup
erintened the San Antonio sewers,

terey, who furnishes the brick, are
