SThme chief of 1,he..Mexican -dieulties
arose . from pecuniary embairaissments,
says the Diari., Sanmta Anna is calling on
the government. forF means. Thme clergy
being call'ed together by delegations both
0.1 the reugulamr and secular orders, refused
pouitively to guarantee a loan .of two mil
lion. of dolMez but the government, con.
.sideriWg the straightened circenmtnoes of
treasury and mthe necessities of time state
q~uite too urgent to be provided for by gen.
eval, contributon-had resolved to' issue
drafls fur tlse amnounmt of two rmilliuons of
dollaes.upon the respo nibiliy o1 .the clergy
the clcrgy to be commpelled to meet- t4me
same withmin two 5 ears-she government
recognmasng thme amount as a loan to be ulti
mnately reimbuirsed with-interest at the rate
of 5-per cent.. per ann.n- To render these
