City of Mexico.-A dispatch, said
to come from Manzanillo on the Pacific
coast, announces that the Mexican
steamship Leulla was sunk in the har
Dor by the explosion of a mine which
had been planted for the United States
protected cruiser Raleigh.
No loss of life is mentioned. The
steamer belonged to the Pacific Rail
way company.
Joaquin D. Casasus, former Mexican
ambassador to the United States, was
hurriedly ordered to proceed to Wash.
ington from Carlsbad, where he has
been taking the cure. The nature OF
his mission was not made public.
Bishop Dies Suddenly.
Rt. Rev, Manuel Rivera, Roman
Catholic bishop of Queretaro, died sud
denly while driving in an anti-Ameri
a parade.
Another warning was received by
the Brazilian minister from Consul
William w. Canada at Vera Cruz, who
advised the retaining Americans in the
federal capital to leave without de-
lay. In referring to this, the Brazilian
minister said:
Il met Gen. Huerta casually and re
ceived from him repeated assurances
that both he personally and his minis
tiers would do everything that | asked
to secure the safety and complete pro
lection and comfort of the Americans
remaining in the country.
Special Train for Refugees.
when | referred to the request
had made to the department of foreign
relations for a special train for Amer.
ders for the necessary arrangements
leans desiring to leave the federal
capital. Gen. Huerta at once gave or.
to be made, and the train left this city
for Coatzacoalcos."
Rumors as to the i'll health of Gen
Huerta were apparently %unfounded
as he took his usual walk in the Cha
pultepec park and later appeared in
a prominent restaurant. Whenever he
was recognized was cheered by the
people.

Workings of Instinct.

THAT even in man instinct is some
times stronger than reason is il
lustrated by these two cases
There had been shipped on a Missis-
sippi river steamboat a box, with glass
cover, containing a very active rattle
snake. Whenever any one approached
the box the serpent would strike the
cover. The owner of the reptile chal-
lenged any one to hold his finger on the
glass and let the rattler strike at it.
There was no danger and 1t seemed an
easy thing to do. First one and then
another tried it, but when the snake
gave its vicious spring the finger was
invariably drawn back with a jerk. In
stinct was stronger than reason and
will combined.
A young man in Paris had lost his last
sou at the gambling table. Not only was
he without means, but he had lost
large sum belonging to his employer.
He started for the Seine with the inten-
ton of drowning himself. On the way
there was great commotion, caused
by the escape of a lion from a strolling
menagerie. The animal came galloping
down the street, and people fied in every
direction.
Instantly the man who was seeking
death climbed a lamppost and elunR to
the top of it. trembling in every limb.
When the animal was captured and the
danger over he proceeded to the river
and plunged in

Carrying Money.

TT is interesting to observe how men of
different nationalities carry money
upon their persons. The Engiishman
carries gold. silver and copper all loose
in his trousers pocket. pulls out a hand
ful of the mixture in opuent way and
selects the coin he needs.
The American carries his money in
pretty much the same way. although the
wallet has always been a farorite
with many Americans Many persons of
perhaps too liberal tendencies are wont
to say that the carrying OF a pocketbook
is indicative of a tight disposition on
the part of the owner. Then, too, there
are those who declare that a pocketbook
is more easily lost than is a roll of bills
The Frenchman makes use of a leather
purse with no distinguishing characteris-
tics, but the German employs one gayiy
embroidered in silks by the fair hands
of some Lottchen.
MANY South Americans carry their dol
lars IN a belt with cunningly devised
pockets to battle the would-be thief.
Some of these belts are quite expensive.
The italian of the poorer class ties his
little fortune in a gayiy colored handker-
chief. secure with many knots, which he
secretes in some mysterious manner
about his clothes.
A similar course is followed by the
Spaniard but the lower-class Russian
evinces a preference for his boots or the
lining of his clothes as a hiding place for
his money.
