JALAPA, Mexico, April ~, 1917.


The city is full of rumors again to-day, all
of which will try and throw into some kind
of shape, although | cannot be answerable for
one of them.


In the first place, it is said that Gen. Taylor
has arrived before San Luis Potosi. They do
not assert that he has taken the city, but sim
ply that he has arrived in the neighborhood close
by. Again, it is confidently asserted that the
Mexicans intend leaving the road entirely open
from this to Pueba, but at that city they intend
making stand and entombing themselves be-
meath Its ruins before Gen Scott shall enter it.
They talk so much about burying themselves
beneath their ruined dwellings, and do so little
in that way, that one can place no confidence
in them. Another rumor is that in a day or
two we shall hear Of revolution in the city
of Mexico against Santa Anna. This looks
reasonable. 1t is now near three weeks since
they have had a pronUncidmento in Mexico,
and it is high time they should up a fresh
outbreak. Has any one ever attempted to count
the cost OF one of these Mexican revolutions?
We are not so far advanced in civilization, and
consequently, having been relieved of the lux
ury of overturning government every three or
six months, know not what the expense is.
