MEXICO CITY, March .1S.--A largely at

called by Minister Clayton, took place to-
night for the purpose of raising funds for
the monument to the dead sailors of the
war ship Maine. Patriotic feeling ran high.
The sentiment of American residents here
is against accepting an indemnity for the
lives of the brave men killed in Havana
harbor. The general sympathy of the Mex
lean people, except the ultra clericals is in
favor of the United States in the present

as well as two switches to the north of
the wreck.
The train was an hour and a quarter
late and running nearly sixty miles an
hour when il struck the switch and was

OYSTER SEASON OPENS.
Outlook for Supply Declared to Be
Very Good.

Very Good.
The oyster season opened in this city to-
day, and already quite number of ves-
sells loaded with the luscious bivalves have
arrived at the wharves at the water front.
Most of the oysters brought thus far were
taken from the beds of private owners near
Keyport and Hampton bar. with a few
from Nomini.
Dealers state that the outlook for good
oysters is fine and that those now on the
market are equal in quality. if they do
not, indeed, surpass those brought here at
the corresponding period in previous years.
AS a matter of fact, most of the oysters
which reached here today were bought up
almost as soon as they were unIoaded from
the vessels. many public institutions de-
string to furnish them to the inmates to-
morrow. Among the places where this
was the case was the Soldiers Home, for
which an order for forty-five gallons of
oysters was filled by a 18th street dealer.
