MEXICAN SITUATION.

Mexico City, Feb. 25.-IIope for i'm
mediate peace in Mexico is slight. Reb-
el activity in the North has increased
and the governments efforts to enter
into arrangements with the Zapatais-
tas appear to have failed.

the state of ceahuila, have increased

burning and raiding and an attack on
a military train between Ozumba and

The train was stopped by burned-out

more than two hours.

unto themselves the title of general
To this the government strongly OBJ

built.
