THE JOU RN A l..
From the New Orleans Picayune, Tuesday Nov. %.
LATER FROM VERA CRUZ.

The propeller Edith, Capt. Couillard, arriv-
ed at New Orleans on Sunday from Vera Cruz
touching at the Brazos. She left Vera Cru, on
the 9Th, three days later than our former adj
vices.
There appears to have been no later arrival
from the city of Mexico, and we are left in I'M
certainty as to what time the train left the city
of Mexico.
The AreO-Iris of the sth publishes letter
from its correspondent at Jalapa. We trans
late portion of it,
have letter from Queretaro of the 25th OF
October, this is two days later than our former
direct advices.-Eds. Pic. from which learn
that there were seventy one deputies then in
the city, although some of them were i'll. But
it is known that several others were on their
way hither, and it is believed that there would
very shortly be a sufficient number there to
open the session. the first business would be
the election of provincial President of the Re-
public, for which post the following gentlemen
were candidates: Sr. Pena Pena, Gen. Her
rera and Gen. Almonte. They write to me
that news has reached them of designs formed
IN the city of Mexico by the stock jobbers those
blood suckers of the nation, who, perceiving
to Mexlco-for there is nobody who would be
willing to purchase the war, and govern the
nation without its neutrality-suspicious. to
form two great States and to annex them to
the American Union. But as this design oil
these vampires is only to enable them to enjoy
in peace the fruits of their rapine, the nation
will look with Indignation upon these scheme:
and will rather be at once annihilated than vol
UNFAIRLY consent to the loss Of its independence
which has cost so much blood. The paper
called Razonador, certainly by contradiction
of terms, is the one which maintains the opin
ions OF thisnew party, and is paid for it by these
men of the stock market, the principal editor
being notorious among us for his anti-Mexican
principles.
The Arco-Iris gives the following statement
OF the forces which the Mexicans now have in
the field:
At Queretaro under Gen. Bustamente, 1000
Santa Annals army now under Rincon. 1000
The garrison of MaZatlan, La Sonora, and
Acapulco, 1000
In the State of Tabasco and Chiapas, 200C
Under Urea, Carvajal and Canales, 200C
A brigade at Potosi commanded By
Filisola, 5000
At Toluos under Pena Barngan, 200(
In the State of 0axaca 1000
The whole force of the guerrillas from
Vera Cruz to Puebla, 5000
All make total of 1900
The following paragraph his from the Arco
Iris:
Gen. Rea, who has acquired so great celeb
Tity by his attack upon the garrison of Puebla
is Spaniard by birth. During the war of in
dependence he was an officer of the Spanish
army. Having been taken prisoner by Gen
Bravo at time when no quarters were giveI
by either army, the old General generousl,
spared his life, and soon after gave him his owl
sister in marriage.
AT the same time Rea forswore his native
land, and until now he has remained always in
the Mexican ranks.
The saving of Rea's life by Bravo recalls to
our mind a deed of that General which shoulC
never be forgotten. Rea was one of the 30(
Spanish prisoners who were so nobly liberated
by Bravo on the very day that he received tn,
news of his own father having been shot by or
ders of the Viceroy
The following letter addressed to our cores
pondent in Vera Cruz, says the Picayune give
the latest news we have from Gen. Patterson
train, and we add to il letter of the latest dat
from Vera Cruz:
PUENTE NAcIoNAL, Oct. 4, 1917.

We reached Santa Fe on the evening of tn,
first day without one occurrence of any Incl

in disorder, as you are aware isalways the cas-

der motion at rather late hour next morning
The column moved on in good order during tn
day, nothing happening except the occasi ona
loss OF a mule or horse, to the next encamp

this place, where we encamped for the nigh
at an early hour, it beirg considered imprudent
at least by the commanding general, to pres
the troops, most of them new in the service
At the commencement of the march, especial
ly as the day was very sultry, as had been tn
preceding one, one man, who had fallen in tn
rear of the command, am informed, was shot
but who he was or how he came to lag can
not state. Early this morning the train pro
ceeded towards this point and had not proceed

diers who informed us they had left Puebl
with train for Vera Cruz, which we found a
the bridge, and which will have reached yo
long ere this letter does. Before reaching here
and about three miles back, information reach
ed Gen. Patterson, who was in advance, that
large party ofguerrilleros were about to max
descent upon the train. A halt was ordere
and Col. Jack Hayes assembled tree to recon
