popularity of Santa Anna, and his retire

Sundry pronunciamentos followed; ol
which one Of the most dangerous, headed
Nea, gave to Santa Anna the opprtunlty
Of emerging from his retirement. He
yanquished Mejia, and causel him to be
shot on the field Of battle. This exploit
gave TO Santa Anna new start in public
affairs; 50 that when the French Govern
menl, 1888, resolved to punish Mexico for
its multiplied aggressons on the subjects
OF France in Eexlco, and proceeded to at
tack Vera Cruz, the command of the
Mexican troops was committed to Santa
Anna. On this occasion he received d
wound, which rendered the amprta!Ion Of
one Of his legs necessary, and his serv'
ces, at this time, seemed to have elaced,
in the eyes of the Mexicans, the disgrace
of his defeat at San Jacinto. ...
Santa Anna took no par: in the unsuc
cesslul movement of Urea against Bus,
,amente in 1910, but in l94l there broke
out revolution commenced by Paredes,
at Gauda jaro, into which Santa Anna
threw himself with SO much Vigor aud
zeal, that Buslamente was again compel
led TO fee, and The plan of Facubaya with
The agreement of Lid EStanzuea, was
adopted: in virtue of which the constltu-
tion of 1886 was abolished, and Santa
Anna himself was invested with the pow
ers Of dictation, for the purpose OF re
constituting the republic.
Under these auspices, and midst all the
caamities of protracted but unsuccessful
attempt to reduce Yucatan to Submission,

Santa Anna, November, 1871 The
chief ostensible causes OF this movemsn'
we're various administrative abuses com
mitted bv Santa Anna and ministers, and
especially an abortive attempt OF his ad
ministration TO raise money Tor an expe-
dition against Texas. When the reyoIu
tion broke out Santa Anna was al Manga
de Clavo, the presidency being provision
ally held During his absence from the
capiaD by Canalizo. Instantly, on hear
ing the It'd ings Of the movement at Gau
daljara, Santa Anna in open violation OF
one OF the articles Of the new organic
basis, was placed in command of the army.
and rapidly traversed the republic, from
Jaiapa to Queretara with the forces he
could raise to encounte Paredes. BuI
the departments which he had left bc
hind him speedily revoIted, not excepting
even Vera Cruz; and though his faction
in the capital, including Canaizo and the
ministers endeavorod to sustain him by
proclaming him dictator their efforts
were in vain; he was compelled to
retrograde, and at length was routed,
and obliged TO surrender himself captive
10 the new administration headed by
Herrera, which has released him with
the penalty Of ten years exile.
