| BY the schooner Tlacotalpena, we have received Me
da papers to the nth instant and the news we find
them is indeed melancholy Our readers will recollec
'ia'' referring 10 private accounts we have published
ABOUT the end OF July another pronuaciamento ha(
taken place. headed by certain Cetna; this was on tn,
21th july in the village of Tzmizin, where Don Jose
Dolores Cena proclaimed his plan, which was about
the same as another put down in February last but this
IS not the most lamentable part of the business We
copy the following from the Siglo XIX:
For some time past of castles has been prognosi
Gated and expected in Yucatan This war already exists
athough, should 1t for the future have the same influence
which it has exercised the present moment of bringing
about fusion OF all parties and attracting common
centre all that threatened whatever the con
oithis war might be, might compromise with them
ana accept them, did the great historian OF Europea
civilization those that happ. ned his country in the latter
part of the last century.
1t seems that the conspiracy had extended
bly,, and the rebels Only expecting the moment when
tue government could not dispose of all their forces So il
is, that avains themselves of the affair at Tzmizin the
indians rose ON the morning of the 3o uino and at the
same hoa put to death, with hnhearll lerocy all the
people IN the village ofTepich ofother colors including
neStpe muattoes, and not excepting the Indians called
Hidagos They murdered old men aud children sparnp
only the women for lascivious purposes
The people OF Tehonco, justly indignant against til o
Indians, called upon Don Antonio Truieqae, who had
live chiefs out OF these should be shot which was accsded
to, and they were executed on the afternoon of the 3o
: When this event known Cetina and his party adj.
hered to the government and moeting took place in
Merida, composed Of all parties, and they offered their SER
vices to the government There great celebrations in
honor of the OCCASION"
The Sigo XIX continues:
The government have adopted all the measures in their
power; have decreed general aning the persecu-
ted cls.es and opened subscription aid the exhausted
treasury; also ordered out all the forces the army and
militia against the rebelous and barbaous savages The
chief OF Ekpec was also murdered by the Indians who
said, before killing him, 'You friend of the vecinos
(neighbors) and you die for it
On the It'll inst, the government troops attacked the
village OF Tepich where 400 800 Indians were enrench
ed These sustained the irng for half an hour and then
fled into the woods one prisoner taken and mme
diately shot The village afterwards completely de-
sroyed few ohet skmishes have taken place with no
result The Indians have dsbanded and Abandoned The
ranches; it will be very difficult follow them The
inhabitants all prepared defend themselves in case
the Indians sh oud the The troops and mill
TIA narch with activity, and the government threatens TO
punish any individuals of the prosecuted classes who should
leave any place where defence is being made or can he
made"
The Amgo del Pueblo, paper of Canpechy second
ed by the Sgo calls upon the government to re-esab-
ish the special laws which rue the Indians un Ter the
Spanish government" laws" they say, which were
very wise ana always had the best results likewise
that all arms be taken from them, AMI spades placed in
their hands.
