FURTHER FROM MEXICO

The New Orleans Bulletin Of the 18th, says:
The following letter from President Busta-
mente to Gen. Arista, the Tampa editor says he
has been permitted by the latter gentleman to
lay before his readers:
Mexico, 18th June, 1910.
sFMy much esteemed God-son and dear friend.
The greater part of the infantry which gar
risoned this city previous to the 18th inst, with
dereliction of duty entirely unlocked for, on
the morning of that day, made themselves mas
tiers of the Palace, and of my person; the con-
spirators were led on by Don Jose Urea and
Don Valentin Gomez Farrias. Having escaped
the immediate danger to my life, which threat
ened through the attack Of the insolent persons,
who, as pretended commissioner, demanded of me
to surrender, / drew my sword in defence, and
notified them l was resolved to die rather than
suffer such an outrage on my person. The COM
missieners then ordered the troops to fire on me,
but the troops would not obey; neither did the
| factious Briones, who commanded them, dare to
use his sword-I having preserved mine, the
same as have my honor, without blemish, up
| to this time. In the night of the same day,
while was yet in the Palace, and hostilities
raging in the centre of the capital, the leaders
| of the revolt became alar med-the horrors OF
the scene and the inevitable destruction of prop
erty, with their attempts my life) they fear

| They then sent commissioners into the saloon
where was confined, and proposed to me to Sc
eond their plans, or in other words that would
sanction what they had doue All which re-
sisted, as Fought, protesting to them that would
| sooner die than prove traitor to my oath and
duty; and that renouneed liberty, if it could
not be obtained without surrendering the digni-
ty Of the post held and my previous reputation
offering them solely, that would strive to
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 frm'in my position, and the resolution
had formed, to perish sooner than prove trail

ness and energy becoming chief magistrate and
a soldier who does not fear DEATH Nothwith-
standing all this, they permitted me to retire
from the palace, with an escort which selected
from the 1st regiment Of cavalry, who had not
taken part in the revolution-ofering the con-
spirators only, (as have said before,) to endea-
vor to stop the flow of blood and lessen tine other
evils Of war. Commissioners were appointed

ATTEMPTED REVOLT AT TAMpICo

The Tampico Desingano of the 18th ult. states
that plot had just been discovered which created
great alarm in the city. 1t was laid by various
Federal leaders, ameng whom Gisosola was the
most conspicuous, and had for its object, to raise
up@n the Central authorities and capture Tam
picO. The FederaliBts were betr1Fed by Cen
trail spy; their plans were frustrated and all their
papers seized. The-editor says, that at proper
tire he shall lay bestGe the publiBal the partic-
ulars of the aiiair--showing forth the horrid
catastrophe which the city has escaped, through
the activity and energy of the local authorities;
and the result of Which would have been the as
sassination of large number of persons, and no
doubt all the other excuses WHICH accompany
un6ridlcd iicentious1ses.
The same paper says: "We have received in
formation from undoubted sou5ce on the from

GaDales had received assistance IN men and
money from the Texan government, to aid him
in attacking Mexico 1t is also aseertained that

government the sovereignty of New Leon, Goa
hurla and Tamaulipss. We learn this from
source that admits Of no doubt. Canales has
ceased to be Mexican, and is Row essaying to
conquer his own country"
The editor asserts, that there is no reason to
doubt that the operations of CaEales are closely
connected with the trnubles throughout the coun-

"While it is deeply lamented that so many
valuable lives have been lost in the action which

with satisfaction the dauntless spirit of fortitude

And again, in his message to Congress in De.

aThe success on Lake Erie having opened a
passage to the territory Of the enemy, the officer
commanding the Northwestern army transferred
the war thither, and, rapidly pursuing the hos
tile troops, fleeing with their savage associates,
forced general action, which quickly termina-
ted in the capture Of the British, and dispersion

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, April l6, 1910.
am glad to see the committee becoming a
little patient; we were somewhat otherwise a
few DAYS ago. This bill approprlates nine mill
lions OF the Peoples money, and have regretted
TO witness such exhibitions of hot haste in many
of the Representatives of the People, day in
and day out to force us 10 vote away millions
without due examination. To my knowledge,
there never has been a bill before Congress
which involved so large an amount of money,
except the ten millions ''.nals Tpa,' bill of the
last session; and we all knew that that money
would never be spent. But here is bill apprO-
priating nine millions ofthe hard cash of nj con-y
stituents and yours, and yet in such violent
haste are some gentlemen to pass it, that we
must stay here all night for the purpose. For
my part, tell gentlemen that will stand out,
night and day, until see to the bottom of every
dollar, before will permit the question to be
taken. And if Representatives go before their
constituents with different principle, they will
find they have got the wrong side of the argu-
ment. The People will tell them, we love the
the Representative who looks to our money, and
sees that it is expended on proper objects.
Have gentlemen ever tried the rule of division
to ascertain what the President has spent geGrty,
monthly, aceekly, daily, hourly, ay, sir, for each
and every minute since Martin Van Buren's m
auguration on the 4th day of March, 1887 The
actual expenditures, during the first three years
of his administration, have reached the enor-
nous sum of ONE HUNDRED AND Elt1-
