ERA CRUZ, June d, 1913.
Eds. Delta-The mail arrived last evening
from the city of Mexico. The news brought
by it does not contain an item of importance
am informed all the troops in the vicinity of
Mexico We're ordered to that place, and are to
be sent to this place by every convenience, to
be transported to the United States.
On Saturday last, the 4th inst, a house in
Company street was blown to pieces, by which
large number OF persons were killed and
wounded. A fandango was to have taken
place in the building that evening. 1t was
inhabited by gHenilleros, and it is presumed
that one of them was making cartridges at the
/ time, and having a cigarrito lighted, commu-
nicated fire to the powder, by which the house
was blown up. The same afternoon, Mex
lean, who was riding into the city at a rapid
rate, was ordered to stop by the sentinel, but
as the order was not con. piled with, the poor
Mexican met withan untime ly end, by the bay
onet of the soldier running through the body,
causing his instant death.
! Col. Bankhead will be in here this evening
| from Orizaba with all the troops, with the ex-
ception of thirty or forty left TO protect Gov
eminent property. Atrain arrived this NOR
ming from Jalapa, with sick soldiers. They are
shipping for your city on board the ship Amer
lea.
The steamers Portland and Maria Burt arri-
rived here from your city, bringing dates to the
Both ult. The British steamer arrived last
night. l am informed all the public property
in the city of Mexico will be sold there. If a
like course is pursued at this Department, it
will be great loss to the Government, as it
will not bring within one-third of the price that
would be had for the property in N. Orleans.
Gen. Smith is we'll, and as active as could be
expected. He dresses very like Jacob Barker
and is not unlike him in statute, but his coun-
tenance is now fresh, and oil a youthful appear
ance to that of Barker's.
