City of Mexico, March l0.-Popu.
lar interest is intense as to the reply
the government will make to the re-
quest Of the Spanish Minister that
the authorities interfere to prevent
further collection of funds for Cuban
patriots. Spaniards claim and ex-
ercise the right to raise money for
their soldiers, and yet they deny the
similar right to the Mexican people.
The tone of the press is changing
most Significantly, and it seems prob
able the government will, iii dignified
but in firm manner, express it's opin-
ion that Mexican citizens have in
every legitimate way the right to
manifest their profound sympathy
with the Cuban cause. 1t is felt that
the Spanish Minister has exceeded
the limits of prudence in making his
request Of the government and the
tone of the press shows that the gov:
ernment would be cordially sustained
in giving an emphatic negative to it.

The decline of the plague in India
is recorded by the British Medical
Journal of February 20, which calls
attention to the fact that in Bombay
the deaths rose in December to i ,484
in one week, but have slowly de-.
creased since that time, while new
cases are much less frequent The
confidence that the disease is dying
out is believed to be well founded.
At other places to which the disease
was carried it has not become epi-
demic The belief that virulence of
tie disease exhausts itself in about
seven months is confirmed by the
present experience in India. where it,
has how prevailed for five months, and
is not expected to last through May.

of the delegates. The latter replied
that the accuser was liar. and her
husband few to the rescue, while his
wife and her women companions
