Some of the leaders of the so-called
Liberal party in Mexico have for some
months been hatching a plot, which the
Mexican government has just unearthed
and frustrated, by which Don Carlos,
the defeated Bourbon aspirant for the
Spanish throne, was to he invited to
Mexico, to head a revolutionary party.
It is charged that the Clerical party is at
the bottom of the plot, and a number of
wealthy Spaniards resident in Mexico,
infatuated with the wild hope of restor¬
ing the days of Spanish ascendency, are
implicated. The press warns Don Car¬
los against evil advisers, and bade him
remember “El cerro de los companas,”
the spot where Maximilian, Miratnon and
Mexia were shot.

T. C. Cragin died of yellow fever at
Key West, Fla. The board of health has
declared the fever removing epidemic, and will no
