The importance OF The news brought BY the
Edith yesterday, induced us TO issue an Extra al
| an early hour, ny which our citizens we're plac-
ed in possession Of The Peace News in advance
| Of our regular edition. The eager demand Tor
our Extra, the edition of which was very soon
| exhausted, shows the deep and warm interest
| felt by cur cilizsns in the contamination OF this
| Peace movement. AT noon the big guns OF our
battalion OF artillery saluled the agreeable an

ton of the Treaty was expected every moment
| in The City Of Mexico Our Commander in
| Chief, Gen. Butler was about TO issue his orders
for calling in all the ou.postS, preparatory to The
| immediate march OF our troops from The country.
The duty oil experimenting The cmbarkaion OF
our troops has been most happily confided 10 that
skiiiu and jndcous officer, Gen. Persifor F.
Smith. The brigade Of this gallant office, was
the first 10 form upon The sandy coast OF Mexico;
il will be the last 10 emba from the county,
On the 9Th May, Gen. Smith surrendered 10 our
COMMANDMENT. Chief the office OF Governor oil
Mexico; for whom, we fear, it will be long
lime before the MeIicans will find as worthy sue
cessor.
Between The 1st and 4lh OF June, it was con-
fiien,!y expected our army would be on its march
for the coast
We find in the Monitor Republican, OF the
Dist inst, long exposition or repor, by the Mex
lean commi ,sicners, Seniors B. Culo, NJ. Atrs-
tain and L. G. Cuevas, who negotiated with Mr..

summaled between the two Republics This re-

gorically reviews the immediate and remote ad-
vanlages and disadvantages which in their opin-
ion would result to The Mexican nation, by It's
speedy ratification. II is an able document, as
may be expected, coming as il does from the
hands of The ablest nrsls among that people,
but il is altogether 100 !oag 10 admit Of its being
wholly transcribed into our columns. The con-
cusion is, however, too remarkable mol 10 merit
a record here. After speaking OF the diminution
OF territory which the ratification Of the treaty
will cause 10 a!exico-an evil which they de.
clare is nevitabie-lhey state that sufficient re-
mains 10 satisfy an ordinary ambition:
"lf Mexico DO not become one day happier
nation, and eycl great nation the cause will
not certainly proceed from want Of territory
May il please The Almighty that the had lesson
which we have just learned, induce US into wiser
counsels. and lead 10 a cure Of our old vices
Without that our ruin il certain, for the road we
have hitherto followed, will always lead TO the
point at which We have recently arrived, and
will not always afford the means OF eIricating
Us from our difficulties; Mexico will lall, and per-
haps will fall speedily and ANONYMOUSLY. II
this language appears rude, we have made it our
duty 10 avoid all daItery, and 10 tell The nation
The real truth without conceament. The adu.
lalors OF the people have done more injury 10 The
world than the adulalors Of Kings"
They conclude with high compliments to the
and declare that he leaves in Mexico The most
grateful and honorable recollections
1t appears that during the debate on the
treaty. the greatest anxiety reigned among the
nharitants Of oueretaro, degcncrating into pc.
sitiyc Consideration at each reported triumph OF
the speakers in The Chamber of Deputies, who
opposed the ratification. Correspondence from
Queretaro, from the 18th TO the 18th, Inserted
in the Monitor, shows this most unequigocally.

QugRETARo, May l6, 1913.
| The sitting opened al lhrce.quareIs past line
when Gen. Michehorena spoke in favor OF, and
| Sr. Cuevas against the Treaty. The latcI's
| speech caused an immense sensation. Sr. DE la
Rosa then spoke forcibly aud al length, OF course
| in favor, when they proceeded 10 vote, as The
| Chamber had dccreed that although The Treaty
was one and Integral, il should first BE- voted on
| as whole, and then on The separate articles. II
was previously arranged that after the first vote
three should speak in favor, and three against
when the debate should finally close.
The vote then taken was d8 in favor OF, and st
against You have no idea OF The sensation
which Sr Cueva's speech produced, and he de-
cree OF satisfaction il gave the Puros; happily
ST. Rosa replied 10 il, and the loss by it was only

Every moment is big with events, &c. Inc
