conduct is in striking contrast with the tact displayed
by Avalos. Had he not taken the course which is now
so bitterly denounced by many of the Mexica❑ papers
he would not have been able to rally a single man to
the standard of the Government, and Caravaj al, in-
stead of meeting a determined resistance at Matamo-
ros, would probably have entered the place in triumph
without being compelled to use an ounce of powder.
That officer himself was the first to complain of Avalos
for taking off the prohibitions on the ground that it
alienated from him the support of the people of Ma-
tamoros.
