The difficulty in regard to provisions entirely as
is proved by the evidence IRON the fact that Colonel
Mcclellan, OF his own motion, having full and entire
power the movements OF the commission, left The
provisions behind in the oxcarts, and went with the
mule train, dspossessing, by that MEANS the commission
Of the provisions that bad been provided for them is
sworn 10 that the oxtran did not arrive at San Eeazao
until month alter the arrival OF the muletTan and
is also to that only during that one month
these complaints made, and that during the rest OF
The time there were no complaints made.
Now look al IT, Here Is Colonel Mcclellan himself
