traces of Mexicans could be found. The
whole country appeared to be entirely desola'e'
Ii is believed that the Mexicans have Withdrawn
all their troops from the eastern bank OF the ho
Grande to Natarloras.
4 few weeks since, SIX or seven MeXlcans from
the Rio Grande came into Victoria TO visit their
relatives in that town They were received kindly
by the citizens who wished to protect them and
aid them in returning in safety. They set out on
their return, but were pursued by party OF rob-
bers and overtaken at Goliad The robbers cap
tured them, bound them to trees and shot all but

spared by the bandits
The Secretary of War has issued orders to iosf
Capt E. w. Moore, revoking his sealed orders
suspcnding him from all command and ordering
him to report himself forthwith, III arrest, at the
Department in person. Com. J. Il. Lothrop has
been ordered to assume command of the Texan
squadron, and to arrest Capt Moore, and send
to Galveston should he refuse to place the vessels
under his command The Commissioners arc to
furnish him the means Of carrying his orders INTO
execution In case Lothrop declines, Lieut.. y.
G.. Gray is ordered to take command. President
Houston has issued orders to Commissioner James
Morgan and William Bryan directing them to
employ all legal means to recover possession OF the
vessels under Moore's command, and to hold them
subject to future orders. The following passages
arc from his Letter of Instructions:
I, - do .L-~~lors
of this Government by any officer of the Navy, or
by other persons, you will apply, IN the name Of
thus Government, to the federal, or other proper
authorities of the United States, and demand Of
the same such aid as may be compatible with the
relations of the two countries and the laws OF ma
tons.
g Post Captain f. w. Moore has had no autho-
ritv from this Government to ship men, appoint
officers enlist marines, or do any other act or
thing, but to sail to the port of Galveston and re-
port, or Turn over the command OF the Navy to
the senior officer next in rank present, and report
in person to the Department, since the 2Oth OF DC
tober 1912 He has had no authority to enter
into any arrangement with Yucatan, nor could nc
do so without contumacy to his superors, or trca
son to his country. The fact OF his shipping men
or ensting, or receiving volunteer marines, with
an intention to 90 to sea without the order or
sanction of his Governments or contrary to orders,
or armed vessels. will clearly render 1T. case
cognizabe by Government authorities OF the
United States HIS setting 1t defiance the laws
OF his own country, to which he owes allegiance
is clearly treason"
cit is deplorable for a nation to be reduced TO
the dilemma of either exposing the shameless de-
lnqnencies and fragrant crimes of lis officers or
suffer itself to become the object OF contempt or
the victim of INSTRUMENTATION and anarchy
:. Our national humiliation is attributable to a
few disorganizng men. who seek power without
merit, and a few inccndiarv presses supported by
such men with the avowed design OF prostratlng
