men to renounce their allegiance TO France, aud the
war of s5a followed. The French were compelled
10 leave sonora In the spring Of 1885 Mr. Levasseur
Minister of Frsnce in Mexico wrote pressing letters,
at the instance Of Santa Anna inviting the Count TO

advice of Dillon Raousset went
His object in going thither 10 get an indemnity
for the wrongs done the French ia Sonora; and he
hints that the desired form OF the indemnity w&

Santa Arms refused to place bim in Sonora, but Of
fered honorable and profitable occupation IN other
parts Of Mexico Rsousset refused 10 accept these
offers and came back 10 California. After the Counts
return, Santa Anna heard that he was preparing ano-

The letter writers speaks as though number Of
foreigners were concerned In getting up the memorial.

one or two Germans had anything and that the other
foreigners spoken to on the subject objected that

cause Of annexation would suffer.
