 Douglas, May 5-Cinco de Mayo. the anniversary of the second fight for in dependence in Mexico, is being cele- brated in every ciudad and pueblo in the Mexican republic today. The lit tie settlement of Agua Prieta, just over the International boundary line at Douglas, is gaudily arrayed in the colors of the nation, and the hombres are enjoying one grand blowout. The Ragtown contingent is not behind, and small knots of the picturesquely garbed senoritas can be seen exchang- ing calls, while the senors meet and embrace each other after the fashion of their native land On every hand, joviality and good feeling prevails, though the day is quite young to state positively that no affray will startle the community and mar the pleas antries of the occasion. The entire Mexican republic is up and doing on the fifth of May, in honor of the sue cessful termination of it's fight against the French for Mexican Independence and liberty On this day, in the year 1864, Generals Ignacio Zaragaza and Porfrio Diaz, at the head of the Mex ican army, crushed the French arms under General Bazaine. and drove the intruders from the sunny southland. Everywhere is heard Viva la Mexi- cano," or Viva Zaragoza and Diaz!" From the little neighboring pueblo comes the muffied sound of shouts and cheers for the republic and its heroes, The mescal booth replaces any de hciencies of the program and helps to swell the importance of the lowliest hombre and fill him with the mediae' val gallantry of his Castilian fore fathers. Truly will the exigencies Of the moment be deferred till ''manyana Senor."
