Later accounts from Mexico.

We indebted to member OF Congress for the fol-
lowing intelligence from Mexico:
The Locsmotor of Vera Cruz, of the 18th, 18TH 10TH
and goth, received yesterday in this city The paper
OF the 18th contains nothing very interesting. In the
18th is an extract from official despatch from the
mssary general of the State of S,nooa dated Mazaan
October 2 addressed to the minister of finance Mexico
(Which extract is copied by the "Locomotor from the
Moneur Of Mexico Of the 18th November) This extract
states that the French soop Brlante the Count
de Bonset commander, had arrived the 2sh October
at Mazatan. from Upper California, (St Francisco and
other ports and that the commander reported that Capt
Flores aided by large number of Cafornians and
some Indians, had attacked the North Americans at Pue
ba de los Angeles and has captured several boats taken
several prisoners, and killed many ''soldados' of the
North American navy. ... ... ....-sa. ..
The correspondent of the Locomotor at Mazalan writes
date 2sth October and says the Caornans and In

and captured boats &c. and states the account to have
been derived from the Count de Bonset &c and that
the count represents the Norh Americans as sterrby
alarmed lest the Mexcans should send troops against
them &c that the North Americans had but 30 soldiers
at Monterey, and 10 or IL al ST. Fancisco that at the
latter place they had erected fort, sc,

falsehood in all this statement. as a.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10, 1916.

To the Editor Of the Union: 49,.
In the Union of the 18th instant, observe there re-
published what pupors to be the official vote of the new
State of Iowa. the aggregate of which is only about
10000 votes, and the democratic maorities there
shown to be from 100 to 300.
This publication is grossly erroneous The aggregate
polled at the last election will not, when correctly
ascertaned be less than 10000 $4,000 and the lowest
democratic majority (or governor is say 600 more
and the majores for Messs Letter and Hastings for
Congress about $50 300 also the maorties
treasurer .,.....
The federal papers and politicians of Iowa made their
estimates and calculations before all the returns were
and they found their way into the press OF the coun
try, and in this way the error has occurred. II"
In this correction il may very properly be said that
full vote would show aggregate Of 49, 900 votes
and democratic majority Of 500.
Respectfully yours,
IOWA
