RICHMOND, Aug. 6, 1917.
The advices from Vera Cruz, are 10 the
23d ult., received at New Orleans bv the
Massachusetts. The Sun of Anahuac. of
Vera Cruz, says that Mr. Trist. the com
missioner, has tailed in his efforts to nego-
| tate. 1t is said that the British minister in
teriered, but in what way we know not
| The force of Gen. Scott was twelve thous-
and men. Gen. Pierce had fought a battle
near Santa Fe, defeating a strong force of
Mexicans
Santa Fe has been totally destroyed by
order of Gov. Wilson.
Telegraphic Cor of Philadelphia Bulletin.
RICHMOND, Aug. 6-10 A. NJ.
The southern mail has just arrived, bring
ing New Orleans papers of the 29th July.
The steamship Massachusetts arrived at
New Orleans from Vera Cruz on the 2Sth.
whence she sailed on the Odd. Her news is
highly important and just the reverse of
what was generally anticipated.
The Vera Cruz papers of the %, state
that the Peace Commissioners failed in adj
justing matters, notwithstanding the inter-
ference of the British Minister. This in
tOHlSCiCc pIouuccu great excitement at ' e.
ra Cruz, and on all sides preparations were
visible to prosecute the war with redoubled
vigor.
Gen. Scott was to leave Puebla on the
| 9th of July, at the head of twelve thous-
and mentor the capitol. All delay now is
at an end. Our troops are burning to en-
counter the enemy.
Santa Anna is said to have under his COM
mand twenty-five thousand men; and is
making active preparations for determined
and bloody resistance. He has taken add
vantage OF preconcerted delays of the Peace
Commissioners to some purpose; and now
finds himself in a position to give battle to
the American general.
1t is thought that Santa Anna will not
wait the attack of Scott on the capitol, but
advance to meet him at Rio F'rio, where
works of defence have been thrown UP for
some time.
by this time great battle has undoubt-
eddy been fought. But no one doubts the
ability of Scott and his men to overcome
even double the reported force which Santa
Anna is said TO have.
