The Mexican volcano is now in the most serious e ruDtion that has ever been developed yet. The United States Govern ment has shown its utmost patience and leniency in dealing with the unfortunate country, cursed as it has been with selfish grafting and incompetent rulers. The ljimit of our patience has been reached f and it 'would seem iaV . that the avojdance'of war is well nigh impossible. In 18 98 the peace loving McKinley had confidently hoped to'a void a Avar with Spain un til the battleship Mji ine was blown up, and after that event, he entertained but the slightest hope that war could be avoided between the two countries. . The " attack last week pn a small 1 detachment jofj'Gen rershing s torces, is very likely to result in rendering war inevitable, just as the t blowing up of the'battleship Maine did in 1898. As every 'well informed person knows Mexico has no munition factories of any consequence, nor has she the skilled Workmen with which to eitherconstruct or operate hemr and as all of her arms have been obtained from this country, which , have now been cut off, and as our na vy can easily blockade her coast, it will be seen that Mexico wpldjbe entirely at our mercy. tiOTICK FOR I'l'BMCATION u Icnlnrn.l Tract. rubiic Land Sale.
