South, in Huasteca, and in the Indian States fPae-
bla, and ofMexico-''the war ofcastes" Afterthese
deplorab~ events, came the sanguinary and barba-
rous inroads of the bandits of the Sierra Gorda, in
the States of Queretaro, San Luis, and GuanaIuato
"These freebooters, undertaking all kinds of ex-
cesses and crimes, were intent on siezing the city
of Queretaro, after having saked their thirst for
blood and pillage in the defenceless haclendas and

Most fortunately these savages cannot agree among
themselves and the Apaches and Camanches make war
continually by which they weaken themselves as well

The Camanches are numerous and energetic. They

The Apaches are mote courageous than the Ca
