We find in the New York Herald the follow.
ing letter from it's Pensacola correspondent,
which contains some important facts not com.
municaed in the pensucola papers.
PENsAcolA, June 5, 1916.
I have endenvored to get hold of,he news
which the steamship Mississippi brings. in or.
der to inform you. She arrived tie last even.
ing, five days from Vera Cruz, with bearer Of
dispatches. There isa good deal of mystery
attending the subject Of these dispatches, and
what they refer To.
II is stated, that il is 10 inform the depart
,nent that the Constitution, and one or two
other ships, had ssiled from Msza'an before
contrary orders were received. But it is said
that this is but n cloak--for il seems singular
,hot DR.. Wood and Mr.. Parrot should have
been permitted TO remain in Mexico the length
Of time they we're and further. 10 embark
without molcs's,icn Again. inexpensive ship
like the Mississippi would not have been with.
drawn from the blockade without some reason.
No doubt, a. the suspicion is. she brings propo-
sails from Parcdcs to the government. This,
the officers say. is the most probable cause.
The news of the battle with Gen. Taylor
had arrived in Mexico A: 6rs, they cndesvor.

had come up i" the Mississippi; he says he saw
q full plan of the revolution. which was shown
to him-and, since Bravo would not be Presi.

| Quite . gen,lemanly wnrfare 10 going on At
Vcra Cruz. Gen. Bravo had permitted oil A.
mericnn vessels to sail, stating that. asthey had
come in good faith. they should 60 also in good
faith. Capt. Gregory. in setnrn Tor this. hsd
permitted three vessels to pass in from TOBIAS.
CO, stating that he too could not make captures
of the enemys vessels under such generous
treatment. lie had, however. placed on pa.
role two Mexican field officers found on b. ard
one of them. Gen. Bravo, wishing Ia keep up
the correspondence, expressed regrets that he
could no, send on board fresh provisions TO
which Cap, Gregory replied he was well suppl.
ed present, bu, he regretted TO state, that he
mi gh, find j, necessary before long, TO come on
shore and take some.
This genilrmanly warfare had not been ia
continuation long, for General Bravo had been
quite riie.i up by the Mississppi's first esp,u-
! res being Yncsian vessels, which were permit
! ted 10 pass free, with the assurance that their
vessels would not be inolcstcd. However, he
had cooled down.
p. S.-Since writing THE. DR.. WOOD has
said. in conversation with him, that il was
thought in Mexico that no relief could be rx.
pected from England whatever. And Paredes
was culectiug wha, troops he could press a.
round him, 10 sustain himself in the revolution
No hopes was expressed Of sending more troops
to Matamoras. Mr.. Diamond says, that ere
this, the revolution has broke forth. The Uni.
ted States ship John Adams sailed to day Cor

doubt, the Princeton has also arrived. The St
