MONTE VIDEo, Oct. 10 1910.
Business here is at stand, waiting events in
}uenos Ayres. Baron Mackaw, the new
french admiral, went up some days since
We hear that he has had a conference with
zSosas's minister, which lasted four hours.
Nothing is known; it is, however, the general
Impression that the affair will come to blows.
The French have a strong force in front of
Iuenos Ayres. The have also good many
lrge vessels here. Three oftheir light draught
rugs are fitting mortars. / think the French
will land and take the city.
Official accounts reached here few days
ince from Lavalle. He had completely defea-
ed Lopez of Santa Fe, and taken possession
If the province. He would again shortly take
Up his march fo- Buenos Ayres. There can be
10 doubt but that he will ''use up'' the monster
The assassir"t tons, executions, robberies, and
insults committed and committing in Buenos
Ayres by order of Rosas, are truly horrible and
evoIting TO humanity. So many as Is have
leen assassiAated, by having their threats cut
md being shot, in Rosass encampment, in one
lay You can form no idea OF the present state
If Buenos Ayres All that can get away are
eaving. understand that natives of Buenos
Ayres are now refused passports. Rosas has
nassed a decree confscating all the property of
p Unitarians. You can have but faint idea
Of the monster, aid of the crimes that he is
committing. There are now 40 millions Of
paper in circulation. Dollars are thirty for
one. Exchange on England, 1915 a I34d.
All civilized governments should withdraw
their representatives. The Brazilian minis
ter, as also the Sandman, has withdrawn. The
latter had pistol presented to his breast, and
was taken to the Quartet, and after being insul-
ted. was liberated.
October 27th-Two French steamers have
come down with 400 Frenchmen. Negocia-
tons were still going on. 1t is the general
opinion that 1.-THE admiral is only temporizing TO
give time for the French subjects to get away
How can he treat with such a monster! A
French subject by the name of Varaugot has
had his throat cut The murders, robberies
ann in many instances violation of women, still
going on.
Lavalle is advancing toward Buenos AyTes
with or 5000 determined men, composed of
the flower Of the country. l think the ques-
ton will be settled in 80 or 40 days. Many
old Spaniards have been murdered and robbed
of their all. Others, after being robbed, have
escaped with their lives. by secreting them
selves. The government paper contains the
notices OF property of Unitarians to be sold at
auction. 1t is really horrible.
MoNTEvIDEo, Oct. %, 1910.
The French admiral proceeded to Buenos Ay-
res the 10th instant, and after some correspon-
dence had passed between him and the Govern
eign Affairs, paid him visit on board his Gag
ship, which has been repeated several times
since. Our latest dates from Buenous Ayres are
to the 24th. Negotiations were going on, but
kept perfectly secret, and it is impossible to form
an opinion as to the result.
The general impression appears to be, that
Governor Rosas will not accede to all that Is de-
manded by the admiral, and unless the latter
withdraws some of his demands, particularly
such as relate to the revolutionary party (Unita-
Tians,) war will be the inevitable consequence.
1t Is understood that Lavalle, by last accounts,
was on his way back towards Buenos Ayres,
and that he had arrived at st. Nicholas, a small
town distant about 40 leagues from the city,
and that he had put all the inhabitants to the
sword, for having offered resistance. The French
steamboats, employed in transporting French
passengers to tins place from Buenos hyres-Ko-
sas granting passports to all who wish TO leave
the city, natives excepted Great excitement
prevails here, and many lives of the Unitarians
have been sacrificed by the Infatuated "Marsor-
ca club" which had been committing the most
abominable outrages, for some time past
They number about two thousand, and arc be-
yond the control of the Government. The per-
sons and property of French residents have been
respected throughout. l send you herewith the
latest newspapers.
The U. S. ship Potomac arrived here from
Rio on the 29th ult. in seven and half days
passage, and Commodore Ridgsly waited or
board two days in expectation OF boat being
sent from the French admiral's ship, as custo-
mary on the arrival of all ships of war. This
civiity not having been extended to the Poto-
mac, has prevented the interchange of salutesi
or any communication between the two squad
rons.
On the 18th inst Commodore Rigely hoisteC
his broad pennent on board the Decatur, Com
Ogden, and sailed for Buenos Ayres, with ;
view of rendering such protection to the per
sons and property of our fellow-citZens In tina
quarter as may be found necessary. The Ma
rion sails TO- day for the sam, destination. I'M
Potomac remains near this poit-oiiicers ant

The French have now thir'v-two vessels o

~ Tin copying the above from the Journal Q

writer of the letters is probably a warm parti
zan of President Rivera, and violent enemy t
Rosas; his statements, therefore, should per
haps be taken which considerable allowance
Nevertheless all the accounts appear to agre
in stating that great injustice and cruelty hav
been practised BY Rosas against the Unitarian
