The total sum realised on the sale of Mr. Short's Parorangi estate amounted almost to £BO,OOO, making an average of £l9 16s per acre. A resident of Hawera has just received a letter from a relative in Chihuahua (Mexico) giving some first-hand news ol the revolution now in progress in that country. The letter is dated Chihuahua, April 2, and says, inter alia: "We over here have been, and still are, having more revolutionary trouble, and befo*» you get this letter will, more than likely, have a new President. As before, we have again been cut off from the outside world, but at the present time as the rebels are in possession of mostly all of the State of Chihuahua, the road is open to El Paso, but not to the south. Juarez, our northern port of entry, opposite El Paso, flocked over to the rebels quietly and then Chihuahua followed. Pas-cual Orozsco, who was a leading figure in tha. first revolution, gave up his commission with the Federal Government on the last day of February, and is now the acknowledged leader of the rebels. All the bankers and merchants have had to take an issue of bonds that was put out to raise funds to carry on the revolution; but as the State Congress approyed of the act, we will eventually get our money back, no matter which side wins. The trouble started on account of President Madero not keeping the promises he made to his followers in the last revolution, when he overthrew Diaz. Thousands of foreigners, and also a great many Mexicans, have left the Republic. A great many mines and factories hav« closed; farms are neglected, and all travellers are giving us a wide berth. However, we hope soon to see the end, as the National Congress in Mexico City meets to-day, and we are hoping that something can be done to induce Madero to resign. Some heavy fighting took place about 150 miles down the railway line below Chihuahua, and while we cannot get the full details, a reliable estimate is about 1000 dead and wounded. The Government troops were routed, and the general in charge committed suicide." A cable message from Mexico City last week conveyed the information tha* Emile Gomez, a Mexican lawyer, had been proclaimed provisional President oi Mexico by General Orozco, and that tha provisional capital is now Juarez. The appointment had been made chiefly with a view to its effect on the United States, which does not recognise the belligerent rebel movement.—Star. ( HOW I SAVE DOCTOR'S BILLS.
