The Moxican situHtion has been
developing: sonsations thick and
fast for tbo ]>ast week, until today
thoro is no donbt that relations be
tween this ^'»)vernment and its
sonthern neiy:hbor are entirely
broken. Since the United States
has not recognized the Mexican
government it is against inter
national law for It to declare war,
but a .“^tate of war now exists.
Thursday's dispatches carried the
nows that (icneral (’arran/a re
sented the action of the United
{States in takinjr Vera Crti/., and in
all probability th»* two factions of
the Mexican Koverninent will come
together in an ('IVort to drive the
Americans froni that country.

were busy in drillinf' and sending

Scenes around the national OAi)i-

the Spanish-American war.^and a
wave of patriotism is sweeping the
country froni coast to coast. Tho
entire south is experiencing this
feeling, and in the evlmt that war
