Accounts from Vera Cruz TO the
alst ultimo furnish the following items
of Mexican intelligence:
By the last arrival we had Informal
ton that the steamer Estado de Mexico
had left Vera Cruz for Yucatan, with
troops on board, who were destined 70
suppress some revolutionary movement.
II appears that the insurrection was
really of a serious character. We do
not find any account Of the cause or
incipient stage, but the insurgents had
seized the city of Merida and held It
for some time, committing many out
RACES and depredations. On the ap-
prOach of a force under Cols: Rosado
and Oliver, the malcontents dispersed
During this time the cholera, which
was said to have been brought BY the
insurgents from VslAdOlid, had ragged
fearfully, and continued its ravages
after the fight of the rebels. The con-
sequence was, that the forces which had
arrived from Vera Cruz could not be
sent to Merida. They were to remain
in Campeche.
The fnsurrection, however, has been
suppressed. A supplement OF the Eco
del Cousreio of Vera Cruz, Of the l4th
ult., contains an official despatch from
D. Diaz de la Vegs, Governor of fuea-
tan, which states that after warm and
vigorous contest Of eight days in Merida,
the capital of Yucatan, the Government
troops succeeded, on the 4th inst, In
utterly routing the rebels. The latter,
amounting to 1000, lost 500 in killed
and wounded, besides 290 who fell vic
Tins to the cholera since the commence
ment of the rebellion. All their Artil-
lery, over six hundred stand OF arms,
all their munitions of war, provisions,
ETC., fell into the hands of the Govern
ment troops. The despatch states that
MANY prisoners were taken, without
giving the exact number. The chiefs
|, of the suasute with few adherents sue
+ ceeded in making their escape to the
mountains. That part of the city OF
Merida occupied by the rebels was en-
tirely destroyed, causing much suffer-
ing to many innocent families.
Governor Vega states that quiet has
been restored throughout the whole
: State, including the Department OF
Tizinin, where the rebellion originated.
The Diario Official, Of Mexico, an
| nounces that by the last packet, money
D was sent to London to meet the dividend
then becoming due under the conven-
ton of 1880.
Some difficulty has arisen between
t the Mexican Government and the Span
4 ish Ambassador. The latter had con-
e sequently suspended his official func-
S tons, and was awaiting the result OF a
!, communication of the circumstance to
: Madrid. In the meantime he had left
e the capital for Vera Cruz, ostenslbly
a for the change of air. No particulars
$ of the nature of the difficulty are given
d in the papers before US.
It The Indians in Durango and Nueva
e Leon still continue their rayages. But
S numerous expeditions have been fitted
out against them.
The Minister of Finance has dis
tributed to the different departments OF
!; Mexico communication of the Patent
= Office at Washington, proposing the ex-
i change of seeds and plants adopted to
the climates Of the two countries.
/, No fewer than 263 robbers, assasslns,
thieves, etc., were sent from Mexico to
Vera Cruz on the 18th ult.
II The cholera continues IT'S ravages IN
: Oaiaea. 1t is said to be worse now than
: it was in 1888. Religious ceremonies
are daily observed, and prayers offered
J up to Heaven to stay the pestilenee.-
: Many prominent persons have sue
s cumbed to the disease. The cause OF
y the extreme duration of the epidemic
e is attributed to the fact that large guam
titles of fruits are daily sold and con-
y sumed in spite of all the precautions
taken to prevent 1t.
