The country Is already mohilized

prospective costs is ms yet forthcom-
ing, but 100000 n day might be
n reasonable estimate. What this
amounts TO can be readily inferred
from the success with which the
100000 600 Anglo-French loan was
negotiated here last autumn. We are
IL n state of singular advantage to
assume an additional burden OF ex-
pcnse on account Of q Mexican war.
The Mexican crisis has become
