MEXICAN CAVALRY OFFICERS.

We alluded recently TO an article in the
Courier des des Etats Unis, upon the Mexi-
can army, which stated that ''Santa Anna
had for his lieuenants, men of approved Ca
pacily ;"-and that among them was Corta-
Ear, Guzman, Touejon and Minon, who com
handed 10000 cavalry, posted in the vicinity
Of San Luis Potosi. From information
drawn from private sources, we have reason
TO believe that the officers named are in
deed men of more than ordinary bravery and
military skill.
Corlazar is a member of one Of the first
families in the department OfGuanajuato-a
family that has always taken a leading parI
in the affairs of Mexico. He received the
rank he now holds in l84I being then the
Governor of Guanajuato. In the year just
mentioned, Santa Anna pronounced against
The President BustamenIe, who, doubling the
LOYALTY of Coriazar, sent him the Generals
sash, as an inducement to be faithful. Bui
the present had not the desired effect; or
rather, as sons. say, ii arrived day or two
too late.
Cortazar is good cavalry officer, but in.
ferior 10 the other three Mexican generals
whose names are mentioned by the writer in
the Courier. 1a 1
The foremost among them is Guzman.-
There is scarcely cavalry officer in the
army, who has seen more service than he has
1t was in 1889, or in 1910, that Guzman re.
ceiyed the ranksof General OF Brigade, which
was not the. reward of political intrigue, o.
|tergversation. 1t was won by hard fighting
In the department of Morelia he maintained
for nearly three years,-and with but little
assistance from the Goyernment,-a
ing war the ederalists; defeated Them in sew
|eral engagements, and finally compelled then
to sue for peace. More than one act of dar
ing has peen attributed 10 this officer. 1t i

ROMANTIC STORY OF the sons of SchamyI,

some years ago, when about 8 years old by the
Russlans-The emperor had him Brilliantly edu-
Gated at the Military School whsre he as con-
sidered one of the best pupils. He never spoke
of his father, and appeared to have forgotten
his birth place. Hi comrades and professor were
ignorant of his origin ,and he was known by diff
ferent name from his own He left the military
School astJuy. and was sent lieutenant TO the
regiment of Finland. "A month back he disap<p
peared leaving letter for his colonel, in which
he informed him of his birth. and declared that
he had never forgotten his native country,
and that he was going to join his father and
brothers. This news caused great sensation.
The young Schamyl, whois eighteen years of
age, and is much beloved by his feIlow-pupls
who, at present cannot help admiring the patient
eouage with which he endured his lot for SO
long time. 1t is supposed that he has succeed

will be remembered, itwas he surrounded and

Gen. Jose Marie Minon is in most res
poets the opposite of Torrejon. Both are men
of courage; but there is something chivalric
lin the courage of Minon; nothing in that of
Torrejon. Torreion rarely atlcks an enemy
except BY means of an ambuscade. Minon
would almost scorn TO attack an enemy in
/ nat way. They are as unlike in person as
They are in mind. Minon has a fine figure
and expressive features. He is a great fav-
orite in the Mexican army, who like him for
his chivalrc courage-and style him the
l''Murat of Mexico" He is now foriy-sx or
/ foriy-eight years of age-orin the prime of
life. Hewas made general of Brigade in
1928, having distinguished himself at the
battle of Acaiete. He served during the
campaign in 1886, but was not present at the
battle of San Jacinto. When conversing
with Englishmen or Americans, he descants
in the highest terms, upon the great
valor displayed by the Texans throughoutthe
campaign in question. Amongst the instances
of that valor which he relates as having
come under his own observation, is the. -fol-
