We have also been favored with the pro-
nunciamentos ofthe Garrison and ofthe Mu-
ncpaI authorities oil Tabasco, OF the date of
the 18th uli., of which we give below trans
lation;
PROCLAMATION OF THE GARRISON
OF TOBASCO.
In the city of San Juan Bautista of TOBIAS
CO on the 18th day of August, 1916, assem-
bled in the dwelling of the military comman-
der, the chiefs and officers of the garrison,
with the object Of adopting some measure
for the purpose of saving the Nation from
the perious crisis in which tits actually
placed, and considering:--
LIST. That since the constitution was franz
ed in conformity with the free will and Con-
sent Of the people has been destroyed, the
others that were made TO substitute 1t have
mot been in unison with the wishes or neces-
sites of the majority OF the Nation.
ID, That, hence follow the CONSTANT gov
ernmen:a fluctuations which have, 10 so ex-
IRENE degree, afflicted the country, caus-
ing it 10 be almost constantly rent with in
ternal divisions; a state of things which has
tened our exterior misfortunes, and gave a
prelext to some claiming to be Mexicans,
but unworthy of the name, 10 advocate the
introduction of monarchy into the Nation,
and foreign prince for our monarch.
Sd, That, in order to effect This unworthy
object, they havehad the audacity TO deny TO
the people their nprescripiible right of elect
ing Congress representing their feelings,
whilst Congress has been called in viola
ton of the constitution, and under circum-
} stances we'll calculated 10 bring disgrace up
on the nation.
i 9TH, That to consent to the meeting OF
the aforesaid Congress would be 10 partici.
pate in the destruction of our republican
form of Government; for, if permitted to
meet with the sanction OF the administration
at the capital of this republic, they will as
sumo to speak the voice of the people, seek
r European Intervention in our affairs, and sus
tain the policy of our enemies and the enc
: mics of the republic.
E 9Th, That the establishment of a monar
8 chy in our Nation would not only cause the
dissolution of the army, which the new mon
i arch would not allow to exist because only il
the troops which he would bring from bis ma
tive land would he place confidence, but he
would likewise exact an absolute submission
of the MeXcans, whom he would exclude
tiom all public Offices in order 10 place his
own countrymen and conttes in positions o
honor and trust to override us.
9Th, That his would sweep away the ben
e6ts Of independence, for which we sacri
feed our blood and fortunes, that we nigh
n govern ourselves, dictated TO only by gu
" ,,isho, 6
s Ierests.
ioi 7th, That if we do not hurry to act in
s, manner more in conformity with the will c
Il majority OF The nation, weighty and seriou
r. evils must be the consequence, we will b
IT unable to force the observance of the funda
l. mental law, and to develope the power an
er riches of our country.
IS We have, therefore, determined to Pre-
e claim, the following plan for the real regeI
le Grafton of the republic.
IN Art. 1st-The garrison Of San Juan Bal
lr tista of Tobasco will not recognize the cor
or vocatory published on the 9th January, Al
by the so:called President ad interim an
his Ministers, considering it an usurpation
power and an abridgment of the privileges
the nation; and decreed with the nndeniab
w object OF making the nation appear as invo
81 ing change from republican to monarchic
a government, with foreign Prince for the r
d. Ter of the nation.
Art. 2d.-In place of the Congress Assem-
bled by the aforesaid order of January las
another one will be formed by membe
elected by the people, according 10 the ele
torial laws that served for this object in lSa
which will meet as soon as ii is formed,
order TO sustain the integrity of the republ
adopting the forT OF government which th
may couyider best calculated TO exclude Il
principal of monarchical government, whi
he our nation abhors, and likewise TO settle ev
ed ry thing relative TO the Texian affairs, a
he the other frontier departments.
Oml Art. 3d-Four months after the occupai
Of the capital by the liberating forces, t
new Congress, TO which article I'd refe
&c must assemble, Tor which object it viii be t
O6 duty Of the GeneraI-in-C hief to publish Il
66 order in the afo resaid terms, and take cal
10 besides, that the elections should be CARR
20 on with all possible liberty.
. Art 4lh.-It is guaranteed that the arr
800 will remain in existence, and its position
