Il will recall to your mind the person
who wrote to you in February last and
to whom you had the kindness to send

me to have the accompanying likeness

AuStrianS and Germans
Preparing to Cooperate
for Mutual Protection

MEXICO. CITY. November 24.-From
the Austrian legation there was sent out
yesterday to all Austrians circular urg-
ing them TO cooperate with European
colonies in organizing for defense. In this
circular it was stated that the troops in
The city are SO few and the likelihood Of
uprisings against foreign residents so
possible that the legation deemed II wise
TO adopt defense measures. Accompany
ing the circular was another issued by
the Germans detailing the plan Of organt,
Zation- Men who served in the German
army have been given commands. and
VIII direct affairs The Germans have a
fair supply of rifles and ammunition and
two machine guns.
The Americans have made no sys-
temauc attempt to protect themselves,
the disposition OF the majority appearing
to be to trust Gen Huerta and his forces
or to luck.
Gen. Huerta attended the builfigha
yesterday. Accompanied by only two
members OF his staff. but guarded by a
score Of detectives. the president entered
the bullring where 10000 persons had
gathered to see Gaona Mexico's greatest
matador, inaugurate the season Gen.
Huerta occupied box close to the
arena. The band played the national
hymn and the people rose to their feet,
but there was no cheering. The presi-
dent left after the killing of the fourth
bull.
According to his intimates no one real
ICES more fully than Gen. Huerta the
desperate straits of his government but
he has reiterated his intention Of pound
ing away at his enemies until he or they
have won. At the national palace the
idea of Intervention is scoffed at, and
the suggestion of a blockade is received
with skepticism. Gen. Huesta is credicted
with having said that although his ports
might be easily taken, II would be inn
possible for invaders to get as far as
the capital.
Serious Financial Situation.
The financial situation is the most
serious that Huerta Is facing. The fact
that the national treasury Is practically
empty Is not hidden from even the most
ignorant peon in the city, and the meas
ures recently adopted to obtain funds have
been such as are calculated to remove
any doubt remaining. The new stamp
tax, which will go into effect Decem-
Der !. will practically double the revenue
from that source. Special taxes have
been imposed, and the taxing of articles
imported parcel post Is being dis
cussed.
Every possible opportunity for raising
money IS being carefully scrutinized by
the department of finance. Silver is
scarce, and II is feared that the launchins
OF one-peso and two-peso paper bills
throughout the republic will not serve TO
restore general confidence in the banks

sumed to be metal reserve, but there is

Small Clue to Crime.

A mysterious st. Petersburg crime
has just been solved by means Of a
trousers button. Some days ago the
police found the bodies of well-to-do
couple named Andrejeiff lying near
the Ninekaja railway station, bear.
ing unmistakable evidence of having
been stabbed to death. The wife was
known in the district on account OF
the valuable jewelry she used to
wear, and the jewelry was missing
when her body was found. No clue to
the identity Of the murderers could
be found except {: trousers button,
which was lying near the bodies, but
as this button was similar to those
used for a certain uniform a search
was instituted. This led to the dis
covery of a man in the One Hundred
and Forty-sixth Infantry regiment
whose trousers we're minus button,
and on being accused Of the crime he
