tional assembly consents to the nee

der consideration.
President Madero during an inspec-
tion Of the prison while he was presi-
dent-elect promised the prisoners that
he would see that they were trans
ferred to some more habitable place,
but the move has met with difficulties.
The only federal prison available for
the transfer was the Castle Of PerOte,
in the state Of Vera Cruz, near the
divide on the gulf slope, which was
found to be too small and, until after
many alterations were authorized,
could not be used.
A plan to transfer the prisoners to
the islands Of the Three Mariss, of
the Pacific coast, opposite san plass,

ability Of mingling the more harden.

and women, for whom the island COL
ony is now reserved.
Quintana Roo, the other Mexican
penal colony, has been condemned on
account Of the unsanitary conditions
there and is already full If tho rec-
essary appropriation is voted, houses
of correction win be built in various
parts of the republic for the recep-
ton Of those now sent to the Marias,
which will allow the men and women
to be segregated. This will make
possible the transfer Of the prisoners
in San Juan de Ulua.
The old fort Of San Juan, the Moro
Castle of Mexico, has always held for
the political offender and the evil-do-
er all the horror ever inspired by the
Bastille or the Tower Of London. 1t
is built on an island In the bay al
Vera Cruz, about mile from the
shore, and comparatively few Of the
thousands who have entered its gates
have come forth alive. Many Of the
cells are partially under water when
the tide is full, and the interior ones
are veritable dungeons without light
or ventilation. In these In Spanish
times the culprits were confined, the
water reaching to their waists.
Under Mexican rules these lower
cells are sail to have been abandon
ed as places Of confinement; but con-

The corner stone Of the castle was
/ laid by the Spaniards in 1928. It's
foundations a;cre are said to have
cost more than $4,OOO,OOO gold, and
the aggregate sum spent on the castle
lby the spaniards over $2O,O0o,OoO
gold. The fact that the castle is still
in use is evidence Of the efficiency
with which the work Of construction
was done. Escape from the place is
