AMERICAN BEER IN MEXICO.
Becoming a Popular Beverage I'm the
Southern Republic.

According to Consul Kindrick of Ciudad
Juarez American beer is becoming "A pop
ular drink in Mexico. Until within the
past few years" says the consul, beer
has not been in favor in Mexico. 1t has
not been very long since IL first found a
market in the republic. Formerly the Mex
leans drank only the white wines and clar-
cts from Europe and cognac and their ma
tive liquors, such as mescal, tequila and
nulque. Pulque is the juice of the maguey
plant 1t is feTmented for twenty-four
hours, but is unfit to drink after being a
day old. Tequilla and mescal are similar
both liquors being distilled from the maguey
plant In appearance they resemble gin.
American whisky is now taking the place
OF cognac, and American beer is supplanting
tequilla as popular beverage.
Within the last few years extensive
breweries have been established in differ
cnt cities. The breweries at Monterey and
chihuahua have proven successful that
the owners of these plants have already
planned their enlargement and increased
capacity Beer can be had on tap at the
most remote saloons in the republic.
Beer is also imported in large quanti-
ties, and the imported beer is distributed
throughout the republic. Most of that
which entered al the custom house in this
city came from st. Louis. The breweries
in that city have practically the control of
this market. Beer is imported I'm kegs and
also in bottles. 1t comes packed in both
barrels and cases, and is usually put up in
quart bottles
Lager beer imported from the Unitod
States is subject to an import tax. Tho
tariff duty on bottled beer. with no al
lowance for waste or breakage, is 20 cents
in Mexican money per net kilogram.
THE wholesale price of beer varies ac-
cording to the keenness of competition be-
tween the different breweries The beverage
is sold over the bar In This city for 10 cents
per glass In Mexican money or 80 cents for
quart bottle In trade like this American
money counts two for one, and. instead Of
paying 10 cents Mexican, 3 cents in Ameri-
can money is acceptable for a glass of bcer
and IS cents American for a quart bottle"

WILL REPRESENT NICARAGUA.
Senior COrrea Presented to the Presi.
dent.


A long step was made toward the re-
establishment of the old satisfactory diplo-
matte relations between the United States
and the Central American states yesterday
when Secretary Hay presented Senior Cor
rea to President Mckinley as the charge
daffaires of Nicaragua in Washington.
Senior Correa has been the diplomatic rep
resentatfve here of the Greater Republic of
Central America, the predecessor of. the
United States of Central America, which
persisted before it's Dirt! could be made
known officially to the isslited States gov
eminent Now, as already Indicated he
will represent Nicaragua alone until a per-
manent minister is named. The dissolu-
ton of the Greater Republic leaves the
consular officers of that combination of
states in an underlined status. They hold
exequaturs from the diet of the Greater
Republic, and so cannot technically claim
to represent anything at present How
ever, 1t probably will end in the issue of
provisional permits from the State Depart
ment to them to exercise the functions of
their offces until other arrangements can
be made. e
Meanwhile, as to our own ministers in
Central America, who have been in the I'M
comfortable position of being recognized
by only one of the several countries to
which they are accredited, it can be stated
that they Will now regain their rightful
status, and from Information reaching
Washington today it can be stated that the
way has been cleared for the reception of
United states Minister Merry as minister
OF the United States to Costa Rica, Saliva
DOR and Nicaragua, and of United States
Minister Hunter as minister of the United
States of Guatemala and Honduras, Just as
tney were originally accredited.
