tracks on Delaware Avenue and half
way back again to North Capitol Street.

nation.
Causes for Resignation.
Several reasons are assigned for tho
resignation OF General Reyes. but the
one which Is believed TO have been the
most influential is the press attacks

The development Of friction between
Reyes and LimantOur was a surprise 70

pected for some time past in certain off,
cisl circles. There has been but little
discussion in the Mexican press upon
The political situation. the papers gen
orally contenting themselves with mere
ly announcing the retirement OF Cen

the official correspondence which passed
between General Reyes and senor Maris-
