Bonaparte reside at Canine, of which he
is the proprietor. Two of his sons giving
way to the impetuosity of youth, engaged

GALVESTON ISLAND, Goth May, 1886.
We have at this place fifty Mexican
officers, prisoners Of war, General Cos at
their head. Santa Anna and AImonte are
at Felasco. There are also about 400
Mexican soldiers at work. They are
we'll satisfied because they get what they
never had before, plenty to eat. We have
out besides in different quarters about
400 Mexican soldiers, acting as servants
in all near 700 prisoners. The officers
are in rather an unpleasant situation as
they know not but each succeeding day
may be their last. What will be done
with them-I cannoty yet say; but our Presi-.
dent is not man Of blood and he insists
that we should not follow the examples
of such barbafians as the Mexicans. If
he can have all the Mexicans set free
without shedding blood he will do It but
when he turns Santa Anna loose, he must
look to it. ,
They have all passed the Colorado.
Within the last three or four days we have
had an accession 10 our strength Of 500
men and every vessel come crowded with
volunteers. An expedition of 500 men
will be sent on tomorrow and they will
continue to be pushed forward to the army
as fast as they arrive.
VELAsco, JUNE Al have but few mo
ments to inform you and others of the
state of things here. We arrived at Gal
weston on the 30th May, and on the I'd
June were ordered to repair to this place
where we arrived on the same evening on
board the Ocean. We found the placein
great confusion in consequence of the
Cabinet having sent Santa Anna on board
Of vessel to send him home, for the pur-
pose Of having treaty ratified which was
made by them. The people were oppos-
ed to his going but had not an individual
commissioned to be their leader. On
the morning Of the Sd inst. / came for
ward as their leader and formed my COM
pany equipepd for service, and sent to the
Cabinet to have Santa Anna) and his suite
brought on shore. There was at first
some objections but they at last complied.
and now have him and suite in my charge,
lie was delivered over to me 10 night and
am at this time on duty with strong
guard under my command. =
General Cos and four or five hundred
Mexicans are still in Galveston Island as
prisoners. - I
