The pay Of the Government, and prepa-
ratlons were making on both SIDES for
a general engagement the next day,
when Gen. Francisco Duque, who had
taken the command Of the government
troops, proposed parley, with view
Ia spare the cfIjiSlon Of blood. Commls
Sloncrs were appointed on each side,
and the result of the deliberations was
that Gen. Duque, with the officers and

of agreement are unlmportant, but the
insurgents dictated all.
Don Jose Maria Yanez, styled in his
proclnmntinns "t 'onmnndcr IN Chiof of
the second division Of the Republican
Army" was at the head of the IN

open attempt against the sovregntv of
the nation, and as issued with view
to establish throne in Mexico, to be
filled with foreign prince.

monarchial principle is to be utterly
excluded.
The third article provides that Con-

ter the libcratlng forces shall have gain
