Cry OF MEXICO. March - 1913.
IT is impossible that should write You letters of
anv length, while the court of inquiry is in session
it does not only occupy all my mind but usurps that
of the public.
There is yery little stirring in the Interior
f,eneral Paroles appears to meet with very little,
sanv success in his revolutionary movement near
San Iuis He has been arrested, says the Monitor
Inv order of the Supreme Government at Queretero,
and of course, will be held to an account for his
reasonable project This step appears W nave
given much satisfaction in San Luis, as it seems to
promise restoration of order. Since his return 10
Mexico, in July last, Paroles has been broodihS
upon some indefinite projects of revolution, put mas
done nothing MORE till his recent movement, than
issue an address to his countrymen. In this docu-
ment dated on the last of September, he says that
since Santa Anna has nothing to do with the man
agement of public affairs, he is ready to take such
office as the Government may give him-that ne
had been invited to assume the command OF troops,
but would not do So unless with the consent OF the
existing authorities at Queretero. But, notWIth-
standing these protestations of patriotism and al
legiance, he has arrayed himself in opposition to
Pena Penass administration, by placing himself
at the head of new revolutionary movement, and
at last finds himself prisoner by order of the
Supreme Government
The Monitor of yesterday says, that numerous
letters received in the city, agree in stating that
Alvarez is about getting up a pronunciamiento In
the south: This is hardly credible, when we re-
member that this General has made public profess
tations of his adhesion to the Supreme Govern
ment Perhaps he is determined to take advantage
&C RI, tn Goth
ears-knowing that the Americans are debarred
from making any interference. We should not be
surprised if this be true, hear that the ''noble
Alvarez as some one calls him, found himself
under arrest before long.
On Sunday last the brigade under command of
Gen. Worth was reviewed at the Moline del Rev
by Major-General Butler. 1t is needless for us to
say that the old regiments, composing this brigrade
acquitted themselves we'll
@Aferthe review, all the officers of the brigade,
Gen. Butler, Gen. Gushing, Gen. Towson, and
Others repaired to the quarters of General Worth,
and partook of fine lunch. Whilst the Com
was there, number of non-com-
officers, who were wounded in the late
fights were brought forward and presented to
him.
The days for the elections to come off in this city,
have been announced by the ayuntamiento. The
first one comes off on Sunday next; and, according
to the annstice, we will have to leave to take an
airing outside the city gates, whilst the good work,
is going on. Well, | suppose it's all right.
Letters from .Cuerllavaca, Pachuca and Taluca
represent the troops garirsonng those places as be-
ing very healthy.
A pleasure party left here yesterday for the min
ing district about Real del Monte, Col. Wynkoop
was at the head of the party. They expect to be
gone one week.
The mail from the interior last night brought
little news from about Chiahuahua, and also from
he section of country where it is said los yanguies
Ire invading The mail brings no confirmation of
he rumor relative to the arrest of Paroles; and
I'm inclined to think the announcement was pre-
nature. Papers to the 23d from San Luis make no
Mention of the matter, whilst private letter, dated
he night of the 3d. states that he is either conceal
ID in the city Of San Luis, has secretly left it.
/ may be possible, Notwithstanding, that he has
,een arrested and the to that effect sent here
~ an extraordinary express. Another letter from
san Luis, speaking of the attempt to get up revo
ution against the government, and its subsequent
allure thinks the State will be satisfied with treaty
# peace, such an one may be concluded be-
ween the nations. But the writer adds, after a
eace is made, unless an American force is left in
he country to protect the government, we shall
ave our usual routine of squabbles.
The Durango Register of the 10Th says, that six
hundred Americans arrived at Parras on the 10th,
nd were exacting taxes from the people, &c. II
Gems they had not heardof the armistice in those
arts.
We have at last received some official account |
f the operations of the Americans in San Luis.
those seventeen mounted men, spoken of before,
re alluded to in prefecture as actually coming |
0 occupy certain point.
In one or two places, they We're preparing to de-
end themselves against the Americans; and one
Alcade says he shall fight until he hears from the
overnor. If he keeps his word, think the COVER
or will have to be very close at hand.
From Queretaro the dates are up to the, 25th,
nd unless some of the members have been stam-
eded. there is certainly quorum present.
CHAPARRAL.
Cry OF MEXICO, Thursday Night) March 80
The Court of Inquiry is getting along slowly, and
Or the last two days little of interest has occurred
the court room. Gen. Scott is endeavoring to
npeach the testimony of Major Burns, and has al
eady introduced several witnesses to that effect.
AXE the proceedings throughout and they are dull
the extreme and until other charge is before
lie court, promises to become monotonous.
On Wednesday, in the course of the proceedings,
he President took occasion to say that when all
lie witnesses in Mexico are examined and ex-
austed, unless such may desire TO accompany
lie court, that it will then adjourn to the United
tates. Gen. Butler being in the court at the same
me, stated that it was his intention to send down
n escort in or days, and that Mr. Trist had
spressed desire to accompany it, which would be
cry convenient to the General-n- Chief
The night on which despatched my last, there
as considerable stampede in the city, occasioned
rumor that detachment of Rifles had been
tackled near the city. The dragons We're soon in
