Correspondence OF the N. o. Pieayuae.
MONTEREY, MEXICO, Oct. IL, 1916.
GeHflsmcn-We have received news from New Orleans
the 25th uI Ii seems that no probability of
peace being established for some time come. Lieut..
Armistesd, of the 9Th Infantry has just arrived from
Washington with dispatches for Cen Taylor but the in
suucions sent him not known in the Army
mail which was sent from Camargo by Mexican cG-
press rder for the Army about the 2lsi u, and which,
- believed, contained important dispatches for Cen Tay
lo besides many private letters taken by the enemy
and conveyed TO Ampuda who received on the day OF
tho capituation. Whether the Mexican mail rider WAS
Killed, as Is pretended carried the mail Of his ac-
cord To hmPudia, is not known but that the
mail in possession Of the enemy. After the Mexican
Army had retired to Saulo Gen Taylor. hearing Of tho
ted him to return tho private correspondence The self
appointed postmaster general Of Army replied through
Mr. Faullac, that mail had been taken and received by
him, but that he had forwarded the bag Santa Anna!
Mr.. Fuulac, however, hoped have the pleasure
either Of sending back the private correspondence or Of
bringing II in person.
You may ask how the mail to be entrusted TO a
Mexican or 20 one 10 be carried distance Of ono
hundred and eighty miles through eoutry filled ranchctos
and particularly al time when Gen Taylor nnxousy
expecting instructions from Washington. will answer
this not TO your satisfaction, least lest OF my

up with IT, the expense would have amounted oiust moth
ing al all No American citizen could be hired take tho
mail through alone for Sl00 bu, should be obvious
