relic of Colonial days, some OF its
features going back to prehistoric
hines. The average county or city
is described as a "barbarous m

death and he was disposed to play out
the game.
Minister Was Criticized.
Certain intimate friends Of General
Huerta have been Indicating to him.
1t is said. for some time that the min
lister OF the interior was intriguing for
the presidency and that the cabinet had
become divided into camps. Those
who opposed Aldape included Querido
Moheno, minister Of foreign affairs;
General banquet, minister Of war, and
Jose Maria Lozano, minister OF TO-
ment0.
It ID stated authoritatively that these
three ministers assured General Huerta
that unless the minister of the interior
was removed they would resign. Man
uel Garsa Aldape was designated by
the provisional president to go to
Europe in fulfllment of some unde-
termined special mission. Senor AL
dapes friends think 1t possible that he
may be named to succeed Francisco De
La Barra as minister to France.
Senior De La Barra has been ordered
to Japan as special ambassador to pre-
sent the thanks Of the Mexican gov
ernment for the participation Of Japan
in the centennial festivities under Por-
firio Diaz in 1910. It was on this mis-

to be installed at Mrs. Andrews farm.

tation of cloven- footed animals from

mouth and foot disease in that coun-
try. Mrs. Andrew, who had paid a
large price for the goats, was incensed

according to race. In the dead letter

ored employees have been segregated
back OF a row OF lockers in corner of

segregation practically amounts to
elimination. In The treasury building

that - many as possible are to be seq

In the bureau Of engraving and
