All our wounded have been brought In from Mixcoac
and other places and have been made comfortable as
circumstances would admit Cbaputspec is still held by
our roops but all the other points have been deserted
limits Of the city.
pee has been published in Touca paper He tlames
santa Anna for not sending him endorsements as he
cuses one Of his engineer officers, Aleman who had
charge Of the different mines the hill rides with being
absent at the critical moment when by sprnging them
the fate of the day might have been changed II posi-

many hves-tbe war will be spun out till doomsday. On
the contrary If rigorous system Is adopted If
men and means are poured into the country, and the
rulers OF Mexico are tor made t believe that
