The following is condensed from the
New Orleans Picaynne:
MEXICO, Nov. &c, 1917.
Adviccs were received to-day from
Querc,aro TO the PSI instant. The Puros
were making Il great deal of trouble, and
charging The Government with making
secret armslice with Gen. Scott. The
Minister of Relations stated that he had
received note from Mr.. Trist. which was
answered in lhn same manner that the
Minister of Santa Anna answered. The note
of The American Commissioner eTure The
late armistice. Tho Puros were looking
to Santa Anna for aid in another revolu-
tion. They were also expecting the arrl-
rival Of American troops al Querctaro, not
withstanding the pretended armis'cc be-
tween Rosa and Gen. Scott. The Gov
crnurs were in session and in conference
with The Ministers. Some excitement was
occasoncd by one Of the Governors,whnsc
name is not given making public the pri-
vale deliberations aud secrets Of the Coun-
Gil, lie is said 10 be a partisan Of Santa
Anna, whose finger is plainly TO be seen
IN this. The Sacrament oftLe Holy Ghost

The placid moon,
In mill and gentle radiance t:averscd
Her endless journey through 'i'e deep hIuc skies
The stars shnne forth aud .IIllcrcd III their

In all the spienlour Of southern cline.
Nature was calm, and sho had gently thrown,
Her mdni. hi mantle r'cr earth and sea,
And mid its sable fnLlS in spnriivc play
MYRIAD OF insects tnmmed their Tiny lamps.
Soft cooling wilIs afar from ocean came.
And with their gentle wings sweet music made
Like the low lullaby DER cradle snug.
e They arc at their work,
Culumbas gallant SONS are rearing up
Their breastworks for The mvrrows suiit, they
toll,
They faIter not, they strain each nerve ,and with
Rednubled vgor cheer each other on.
Daylight advances, and anon the bomb
Traces its pathway through the humid air,
In wrath comes booming to their very midst
1t bursts. the earth is rent. but the luec ball,
In llarme!ess fragments doth around them lie.
