lulions, but would rush into The me'ee' anu o"'e
more endeavor 10 seize The reins, whlch 50 'ps'o-
rously slipped from his hands. The policy sug
gested for him by the Havana writer Is iuii "
wisdom, and for our own peace and The good oil
Mexico we trust he may adopt it-that is, u ne
really succeed in suppIanling Paroles. In inc
midst OF so many movements, we cannot Preuics
what will become of General Arisia, who al the
last accounts was preparing with Jour thousand
men 10 "[estore" Herrera. II Santa Anna sue
coed he will have learned from his Texas cam
paipn how utterly futile it would be to resist the
American spirit Of Texas and The other States OF
The Union He has been well schooed in msfor-
tune, and will find it TO his interest 10 cultivate The
good feelings of people, whose kind treatment
he SO ungraletully abused:
HAVANA, Jan. %, 1916.
Ihave Just time, per Hope Howes, TO drop you
few lines | learn from an unimpeachahle
source that Santa Anna is making preparations
10 return 10 MEXICO. He anticipates leaving
here on The OH or 10Th of next month, in The Bri
tish steamer for Vera Cruz. This will, however,
depend much upon his advices 10 arrive per
steamer on the 9th; but that he returns there, and
that very shortly 100, you may rely upon There
are other on dis about him, that | give for
what they are worth. Il is said, tha, he is much
exasperaled al The design Of few traitors 10 sell
the country TO foreign powers, after The wasting Of
so much blood and treasure 10 achieve ndepen-
drnce. His return 10 Mexico will be marked
BY an entire change in his policy. The United
States if her minister is Of lie right stamp, will
become his jfdus Achates-for money he will ad-
Just The Texan boundary and cede Catalonia,
defending himself 10 his countrymen upon The
plea that this.w the only method LETT 10 preserve
the integrity OF The Republic, 10 resis, the insid-
Gus attacks OF foreign cabinets upon her Liberties,
10 preserve them from return TO the Spanish
yoke which they so nobly threw off, and TO retain
their position among the nations OF The earth as
an'inde1endenl power.
Paroles must either side with the foreign pow
, ers or with Santa Anna. If he choose the latter,
nothing can prevent the lyrant from taking the
reins-if the former, nothing can resist the gr,to
that Santa Anna will raise for liberty. No one
thar is well informed on The subject believes thai
the people OF Mexico will be content that their
country share the fate Of Greece.
Every day me believe 10 be big with events in
this distracted country, pregnan, with interest TO
The United States Yours, truly ARIEL.
