MEXICAN MATTERS.
Interest in the Football Game-An I'm
portant Decision.

Mexico City, Dec. 25.-The second
federal district court has issued a deci-
sion suspending the sentence of the first
district judge, who few days ago de-
creed an embargo of the entire property
of the Monterey and Mexican Gulf rail
way in the interest and protection of
American creditors and required the Bel
gian syndicate, now in possession of the
line, to make deposit of $4,000 900 for
the protection of all claims against the
company. There is a possibility, hardly
probability, that the second district
Judge may revoke his sentence and in
case he does not, this sensational case
must go to the supreme court of the ma
ton. The Mexican Herald advises
American creditors to have patience and
eonfde in the equity of that high tribunal.
which has always protected property
rights. Able lawyers, including the fore
most members of the bar, have been
ranged on both sides of this case, which
has attracted much attention in the
United States.
A club of Mexican sympathizers with
Cuba has been formed in Toluca, capital
Of the state Of Mexico. Clubs have been
organized in other cities which favor the
recognition Of Cuban billigerency.
There is great interest shown here in
the football game between the American
teams, to arrive here tomorrow.

SENATOR THU,RSTON
Thinks There Will Be an Extra Session
of Congress-Pacifc Road Bill.

Omaha, Neb., Dec. Ex-senator John
NJ. Thurston spent Christmas day with
his family in this city.
81 think there will be no tariff or inan-
cial legislation at this session of con-
gress," said the senator. II am salts
fed however, that there will be an extra
session of congress called to consider
these matters soon after the advent of
the republican administration, probably
about March 10. 1t is pretty certain
that there will be new tariff bill by
July l."
DO you think the government will
forecose its lien on the Union Pacific at
an early date?'
at is altogether probable that the at
torney general will appear early in Jan
uary for the government in the pending
suits and ask for a foreclosure of the
governments lien. The president will
not wait for congress to act in this mat
ter"
Congress may or may not pass the
funding BILL" he said: "Of course, if
it should, that would end the foreclosure
proceedings; if it does not, the foreclosure
will 20 on. The truth is that have not
taken great interest in this matter and
may not be fully posted. ! know that an
opposite opinion prevails, but what I've
said is fact, nevertheless"
do you think that the passage of the
funding bill by the present congress is
probableY"
81 think it is likely to pass the house.
In the senate probably a majority of the
members are in favor of it. still it may
not pass. The time is so short and the
press of matters is so urgent that it is
hardly likely to pass, though it might
pass were there more time. believe the
government will get less for it's interests

The bullets that ended the earthly

patriot leader, bored their way straight
to the heart of the rebellion.
The insurgent bands that roam through
the province Of Pinar del Rio are scatter

they can have confidence. They need the
magic and the magnetism of brave com
mander.

Of the district and had long and inter-

turned from fortnight's expedition
through his territory. He said that he
found no insurgents save a few groups

said, shave hidden their arms and are
poeitioned as pacificos."
Gen. Melquiso paid generous tribute
to Maceo. "FEis DEATH" he says was
terrible blow to the rebellion. His
black followers sacrificed their homes in
their devotion to him. His white adher-
ents are worthless as fighting men. /

DELGADO'S CASE.

do has not been executed by the Spanish
authorities in Cuba and he will be treat
ed with all of the leniency conditions
under which his arrest warrants. This
news is the first result of the inquiry the
state department has made into the case
at the instance of the New York Mail and
Express, which has employed him as a
correspondent. The news is very graft
flying to Delgado's friends who feare,.
that he might have been summarily
executed. He is now under arrest and
while it is probable that he must remain
in Jail for some time while his case is
under investigation, it is not believed
here that he will be severely punished in
the end.

The local football team got another de-

within FIVE minutes of the close its full

TT COSTS SPAIN THE SUM OF
TWELVE MILLION DOLLARS
MONTHLY.
SPAIN ANXIOUS TO END EHE CONTEST
1t Is Believed Spanish Officials Will
Take Advantage of the Good Offices
of Uncle Sam-War News
From Cuba.

New York, Dec. ga Madrid special
to the World says:
1t is rumored that Gen. Wcyler has
abandoned fresh operations against the
insurgents, with view of feeling his
way to preparing the ground for finishing
the present Cuban war like the past in
surrections in Cuba, where money and
unofficial negotiations proved more telling
arguments than force of arms, directly
the insurgents saw no more hope of for
eign aid. 1t is also believed in diplomatic
circles that Spain will take advantage
of the dispositions of President Cleye-
land and Secretary Olney to negotiate
quietly and directly with the United
States to secure American neutrality by
granting discriminating concessions in the
contemplated Cuban tariff and fair prom
iees of colonial autonomy before the ac-
cession of Mckinley. One of the prin-
cipal reasons Of the Spanish government
for insisting upon Weyler making de-
cisive attempt to clear the provinces of
Pinar del Rio, Havana and Matanzas
within few weeks is the urgent necessi-
ty for scoring n military success before
Spain has once more to appeal to the ior-
eign markets for fresh loans when he
shall have exhausted the money obtained
by the recent interior loan, which will
be on March 3, next year.
The expenses of the war in Cuba are
12,O00,0O0 monthly, and in the Philip
pines at least $40O0,000. Up to the
present time the Spanish treasury has as
sisted the Cuban treasury by guarantee
ing advances made by foreign and native
bankers upon Cuban bonds and by pledg- |
ing the sources of imperial revenue for
the recent $S0,O00000 loan. The mo- |
ment is fast approaching when the Span
ish parliament and the taxpayers will u |
asked to provide in the shape of addition
al taxation $26,000,000 annually for the
interest and sinking fund of $3.50, 100000
thus raised to meet only in part the ex-
pense of the Cuban war up to March,
1897, and which costs the Cuban budget
and the Cuban taxpayers could not posi-
bly, undertake to pay, even if the war
were soon terminated, considering that
their budgets showed deficits averaging
Sc, 100000 annually before the present in
surrecti0n.
