Mexico City. July 1.-The victory of Sampson was celebrated by the Americans and the greatest rejoicings manifested. Americans clubs were crowded with ladies and gentlemen when the confirmation of the victory was received. Minister Clayton kept open house to receive his enthusiastic countrymen. The Spanish colony was much depressed. and gloomy forebodings were heard of the coming troubles in Spain The high Mexican officials received the news immediately from the Associated Press bulletins, and generally admitted that the war would come to speedy conclus- ion. There is much excitement among all classes of citizens as the magnitude and consequences of the American victory are now being realized.
 The continued exportation of Mexican wheat to Europe which can be profitably done owing to the grain being raised on silver basis, is bringing about enhancement of the domestic article and the fear is ex- pressed that soon the price of bread will be raised by the bakers.
 The Mexico, Cuernival and Pacific rail- road is now fully completed to Ignauel on the way to Acapulco. The road is credit to the president, Colonel Hampson the famous American railway builder and all the work has elicited the commendation of the government inspectors.

letter of solicitation, published else

work of extending Christianity, and

1t proposes to do so, by requesting
each and all of the churches TO pun

$3.50 per month in payment for a
church directory. Heretofore, the press
of this city has invariably given the
churches such free advertising as they

But this is to be done by paying to the

which sum, severally paid, the Bulletin
will kindly hold the reins, and guide
them through the highways of Chris
