difficulties which appeared insupera-

little fortune, but not without honor,
when your capitol was occupied by
the enemy.
Mexicans let us turn to ourselves
let us improve the hard lessons taught
by experience let us repair the errors
we have committed here / hold my
self in readiness to contribute my part
towards this honorable reparation.--
Strive with me in good faith in this
glorious act, and we can yet possess
country, national honor, and name
which we will not be ashomed to bear.
Soldiers! companions in arms ! see
at your head your old General; he|
who has conducted you sometimes to|
glory: he who has not deserted you in
the hour Of misfortune he who bears
| in his person an honorable mutilation,
and who has with you exposed his
breast to the enemy's balls in the day

which is not unknown to you follow |
your General and friends. Let us rel
store to our noble profession the lustre |
Of which they would have deprived it;
and will also cultivate, as much as is
in my power, the friendly relations
which exist with all nations. Though
the exercise of your courage is not
necessary at present, we shall be
prompt If the national honor requires
it, to provo in the face Of the whole
world the valor which has reigned ever
in the breasts of Mexican soldiers.
Mexicans, Of all classes, let the day

you-in seeing you all reunited un-

Of union and enthusiasm, as in 1921

vte War Of Casses.
The following 10 translated from the
Trait d. Union, Of the city of Mexi-
co of April 9th
Al most alarming symptom has been
visible for some time past in different
parts of the Republic. In different
States, the Indian population appears
to be in fearful agitation, and war
of races, the most terrible Of all wars,
is imminent if the government do not
act without delay with the greatest
prudence and energy.
The hostility is as yet latent in most
Of the hearths of the Indian population,
but il declared itself openly upon the
5th of this month at Tepalcingo. The
Indians rose and assassinated eve men
and one woman. Immediately upon
the receipt Of the news at Jonacatepec,
the authorities dispatched company
Of one hundred men against the rebels,
who were routed leaving nine dead,
fourteen wounded and ninety prisoners.
Will this triumph suffice to re-estab-
lish peace and concord Will it not
rather exasperate, more keenly, the
discontented These are questions
which are asked with the greatest anx.
iety. About 100000 out Of the
$500, 900 of the population. Of Mexico
are Indians. Suppose these hordes
unclaimed by their passions what bar
rier can be opposed to them? The
public mind we repeat, is considerably
alarmed at these symptoms and we
must confess that these fears are not
without foundations.
