VERA Cruz, 3lst July, 1916.
The denOeumenf, mentioned Ii in my last, has
happened. The porlrAit of Santa Ana has
been carried in triumph through the prlnci-
cipal avenues of the City with acclamations,
and the approving quiescence of the National
troops of the Fortress of San Juan d'Ulloa.
You may rest assured this movement will 90
forward, and Santa Ana and Almonte will
make a triumphant passage from this to the
Capital of the Republic. This will cement
all detection within the boundaries of the
Nation, and, as a natural consequence, bring
about a more energetic defense of the Ma
tional Honor. A Universal Sentiment pre-
walls and the one idea is to " repel the In
vader. and recover ground lost by the mac
ton of the National ~forces.''
Whether we shall be able to carry out our
intentions, or rather intended efforts, must be
decided by the Future. Ii is believed here,
however, that the Government of the United
States will soon be sick of their war upon us,
and confess it is not so easy a matter as they
imagine to overrun and subdue Eight Mil
lions Of united hearts, stung to madnes' By
unparalleled injustice, perseverod in for near
ly ten years, and terminating in an inv lsion
as a justification of it.
You will discover, by the pa pers that will
now reach you, that Letters Of .W1rqwe are to
be issued for the distressing of your COM
merce that a decree has passed, unanimous
ly, in the National Junta, for the promotion
of all who sigualize themselves, in future en-
gagements, with the United States forces {:
that a line Of decentralization is to be thrown
up around the city OF Mexico to an extent of
many miles 10 circuit, and that there is a de-
termination on the part of the whole people
to resist wha ever forces may appear among
them in an offensive attitude.
You will perceive from all this that your
forces arc now about to realize the Difficult

would have caused, probably, a different feel.
