THE MEXICAN REvOLT-GREAT CAR
NAGE--TEN DAYS CONTINUED FIGHT
ING IN THE CAPITAL.
BY the arrival of the fine schr. Doric from Tampi-
co. we have received later advices from Mexico Our
dates now come down to 9th July. We give below
TRANSACTIONS Of the letter of President Bustamene and
the PROCLAMATION Of Gen Valencia showing that there
was continual fighting in the city Of Mexico to the
latest dates.
Our readers should bear in mind that the papers
from which we extract all Genital Journals, mostly
established by the usurpers in office. No communi-
cation has yet reached us from the Republican or
Federal party, though the Central papers mention the
documents that are issued by the revolutionists
The Mexican Government Diario Of the 25th July,
officially announces that the Proclamation of the Fee
deral leader Faras issued the day previous
III statement tnht the
to fight for the Government Farias states, that they
merely intended to maintain their position in line and
and be forced to storm the advocates
Of the Constitution "a" This the Government pa
per Denies and that the regular troops not
only brave, but ready for the conflict.
According to the Central prints every section of the
Republic is preparing to pour in troops for the rescue
of the Capital from the hands the insurgents.
Peubla sent observation-disclosures had arrived
from Tabuca-all the troops at Michoacan pro-
II.
was proceeding with all his disposable force from Vera
Cruz Colonel Cortazar, with 400 infantry and 200
horse, pressing on from Leon; Santa Anna was
using all his influence and means to enlist two reg
ments near Peubla and was to push for the capital
as soon as he could embody his men.
We gather from all the accounts we have had, that
the utmost enthusiasm prevails among the patriotic in
surgents who are within the walls of Mexico. One
of the papers states that they the papers in the de-
poste archives to make cartridges and then fire them
at the usurpers themselves The civic militia appear
to side with them almost unanimously. And such
the fears Of Bustamente and his brother usupers that
orders have already been issued to commandments
of detachments coming in from the country, in
they should be attacked by force out of the city, to
fall back upon certain points indicated to them
The Governor of the Department of Mexico on the
10th July issued notice TO all persons coming to the
city with PROVISIONS &c. that while the Federalsts
held possession othe strong places they need not pay
the accustomed duty.
following postscript After form made up, we
learned from undoubted source that the insurgents
have demanded the furniture and gold and silver plate
of the Holy Cathedral with threat that they would
take it by force, unless their demand civy
piled with in two hours.
General Almonte writes 10 Tampico under the
Mexican date July 18th, that the President had GER
tain notice, that Urea had fled in the direction of
Peuba--but other accounts render this improbable.
The British packet Seagull left Tampco the
18th for London with 1888 657 in specie and the
$500, 600 in silver.
The following letter from President Bnstamente to
General Arista the Tampico editor says he has been
permitted by the latter gentleman to lay before his
readers:
MEXICO 25th JULY 1910.
=" My much esteemed God. son and dear friend
The greater part of the infantry which garrsoned this
city previous the 18Th inst with derection ofduty

made themselves Of the Palace, and of my per-
son the conspirators led on by Don Jose Urea
and Don Valentia Gomez Faras Having escaped
the immediate danger to my life, which threatened
through the attack of the insolent persons who,
pretended commissioners, demanded Of me TO

on my person.
The commissioners then ordered the troops to fire
on me- but the troops would not obey; neither did the
factious Briones, who commended them, dare to use
his sword have preserved mine the same as have
my honor, without blemsh, up to this time. In the
night Of the same day, while yet in the Palace,
and hoses raging in the centre of the Capital the
leaders of the revolt became alarmedthc horrors of
the scene and the inevitable destruction of property,
{ with their attempts my ife) they feared would
raise the citizens against them.
They then sent commissioners into the saloon
where was confined, and proposed to me to second
their plans or in other words, that would sanction
what thew had done. All which resisted, l ought,
protesting to them that would die than prove
traitor to my oath and duty; and that renounced
liberty fit could not be obtained without surrender
ing the dign ty of the post held and my previous

lessen the flow Of blood and the other evils Of war.
Various were the promises which they made me, If
would agree to their proposals. but was firm in my
position and the resolution had formed, to perish
sooner than prove traitor to my duty resisted al
ways with the firmness and energy becoming Chief
and soldier who does not fear death Not
withstanding all this they permitted to retire from
the place with escort which selected from the LIST
regiment of cavalry, who had not taken part in the
revolution offering the conspirators only Gas have
said before to endeavor to stop the flow OF blood and
lessen the other evils Of war.
Commissioners appointed on the part OF the
effect that object but their propositions
were not admissible on our part, and unfortunately
hostiltcs have continued up to the moment in which
write the enemy having suffered losses enormously

stroyed-but what is much to be regretted, many
pacific citizens have lost their lives.
As ever since the day of my release have been
occupied in military service, have had no
time communicate to you these scandalous transac-
tons but to-day, proiting moment OF release, have
the pleasure of notifying you of the late events and
assuring you Of my esteem, &c. &c.
